[MHml] bi-plane rigs

 Hello Ross,
Thanks for your contribution to the subject matter.

Got a question for you. How did you guys come up with the name FireFly  for
your cats?

The reason I ask is back in the late 80's I was importing a 25 tri from
Denmark called the Dragonfly. I saw a huge potential in this vessel and did a
lot of marketing of it. To little avail as the manufacturer failed to supply
me and the new Canadian distributor with product, primarily as he was swamped
with orders in Europe.

I subsequently redeigned that boat to one that was even more compatable to the
American market, and searched for a new name for the vessel. I did not want to
lose all of the marketing effort I had made with the Dragonfly name, so I came
up with Firefly. Since then I've seen any number of boats named Firefly, and
often wondered if any resulted from my pick of the name??

BTW, I will be moving to Thailand myself next year about this time. I will
have to look you guys up.
