Hello Pocketship builders and owners,
I would like to invite you to join in this idea: to establish an online PocketShip Cruising Club. I have an overall frame concept to start with but the simple title says it all, I hope. What a jump start! Then, back on a real world I shall suggest few steps for we to discuss, agree, add suggestions and move on.
1 - The simple the better, no much philosophy, let´s remember the US Constitution with its 7 articles only; by the way, The Independence Day could be a good date for the official inauguration milestone;
2 - The purpose is to maximize the value for our unique way of boating, the value of each one PocketShip home built, and/or sold to second pride owners, the heritage and, in the event of any dramatic economy scenario, that the PocketShip Cruising Club keeps on burning at least a tiny original flame that motivated each one of us, in particular, to face the brave child´s desire to build a PocketShip;
3 - First phase, no dead line, access only for PocketShip owners of plans, kits and of course with a PocketShip building in progress (jubilees included) or on the water, ok, on a cradle at the driveway. Second phase, tbd;
4 - Down the water few miles ahead we can address issues like logomarca, future merchandising, and more important near future activities open for your suggestions; I suggest to pin up on a calendar a rally in the Bahamas, Bimini, Key West or on any other potentially feasible water mirror where PocketShip Cruising Club members can gathering just for fun moored or beached gunwales to gunwales, I can see dozen of us doing this every other year... Yes, some among us talented enough to entertain an audience could speak, we can invite pro or tattlers to entertain us (about boating & boat building), John Harris has a free token ok
Ball is in your court, fellows. Thank you.
PS: in attached a pic from my pocket building in progress, started Oct 13th, fillet phase on going... the pic is taken through the indoor window of my office (cave).
