VDH Hull on Sailfish Boats

[ScottM]

Brad,
Glad to hear you're back home and doing well. I'm sure that "resort" was loads of fun. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

With regards to your post, I think one thing some of us may forget is that the VDH patent that Carl Moesley established in the 60's expired many years ago, leaving the door open for other builders to use the design. Of course these other builders are going to regurgitate some of the catch phrases and tag lines from Potter-era ads because what else can you say about a great hull design? They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and I strongly believe it in this case. Those of you with original Potter boats should feel priveleged and flattered when other boats are buzzing by using the same hull, and not get bent out of shape because they are "copycats". Just my $.02.
