The wooden Tornado in the ads is one of my dream boats. The brightwork with white sails should even impress a Herreshoff traditionist. I've been a wagon owner for a long time. The '78 Buick Limited Estate wagon was great for cruising the Division 10 circuit. Now it's a Dodge Magnum. But this one to pull that Tornado.

I used to do a lot of sailing with a good friend of mine years ago, when we would both tow our H16s to local lakes. He had this '70 Chevy Station wagon he called "Big Blue", compared it to a boat, and once thought of putting CF numbers on the front quarter panels.

I like that! Front wheel drive would be good for ramps that get slippery at the water line.
