Hi Steve
This presentation and dinner are being held on the 25th, and we would love
it if any of your fleet members wanted to attend. This is an amazing
presentation by an amazing person, who is at the forefront of carbon fiber
technology, and responsible for 3DL and 3DI technology. I can't believe I
even know Bill, let alone get to sail with him. If you would pass this on
to your fleet, we would appreciate it.
Cheers
Milly Biller
Inverness Yacht Club.
