Looks like Tom Smitherman and I made the current issue of Heartland Boating. The author was looking for info on homebuilt cruisers and saw the G4 photos and called Gayle to locate Tom and I. Nice article and I believe that is Tom's boat on the cover being rolled. Unfortunately, it is not online - only available as a hard copy. But here is the link to their web site - http://www.heartlandboating.com/

Congratulations, Ray and Tom.

I don't know if I can find copies, so be sure to bring a few to G5 to pass around.

Congrats. They sure picked the right guys to represent homebuilt cruising.

I signed up for the free 3 issue trial. Hopefully they send this issue.

Congrats Ray and Tom - it is always good to showcase our "little" hobby and I cannot think of better ambassadors.
