About Me
- Tweezerman
- Bald but my eyebrows are growing at a prolific rate. Sailed Windmills and Y-Flyers in the 1960's. Founded Miami University (OH) sailing team. Sailed International 14's and Lasers in the 1970's. Sailed International Canoes in the 1980's to mid 1990's. Sailed Classic Moths since 2002. Enjoy boatbuilding though I'm very, very slow at it (the Internet doesn't help matters). Name in real life: Rod Mincher After choosing this username (Tweezer is the name of my Classic Moth), further research on the Internet turned up that Tweezerman is a corporate name for a line of pedicure products. Let me emphasize that I do not work for, nor endorse these products.

It's a wonder no one drowned sailing these boats (or did they?) I don't see a life jacket anywhere!
I don't think life jackets became popular for dinghy sailors until the 1960's. My parents let me tootle around all over the Severn River in the 8' pram El Toro as long as I wore my life jacket. Small price to pay for being a kid in charge of your own sailboat.
