Yep. I *do* believe you. It's one of the reasons I purchased this boat. I always
remembered the stories told by one of the fellows at Rutabaga who had visited Wales.
He said they would just slam their Romanys up onto a *cobblestone* "beach" when they
tired of surfing and needed to come in for a break! Amazing.

I figured a boat like that would take good care of me, and last me the rest of my
days. :-)
