What an iconoclast but so right.

It always gets me how some dwell on one little era of boatbuilding out
of the tens of thousands of years of boatbuilding and consider that
very little slice of time the "traditional" era of boatbuilding. This
is the same type of attitude that has caused the stitch and tape
revolution. As you see, most of em just sit around crying about the
past when they were the only ones who could build boats and the rest
of us had to pay them to do it or work for them for years to learn a
tidbit or two about the trade. Even now, few of them will give out
much real boatbuilding information. For some it seems that it is more
about territory than tradition from what I can see, more or less, sour
grapes..
