Yeah, there was a very short time-period when Roger was experimenting with the (ill-fated) cocaine-ballasted power-sailer design. He sold a few, but they turned out to be a bit pricey for most.

Apparently the problem with this concept was referring to the ballast in terms of "street value" rather than in terms of weight...Currie wrote:Yeah, there was a very short time-period when Roger was experimenting with the (ill-fated) cocaine-ballasted power-sailer design.

More interesting is on the same Page, Hal Roth has past away. I read most of his books and one called After 50,000 miles inspired me to do the same. I didn't know he pasted away.
