Has anybody seen the new Rokon with the front spring suspension? I hear they had it at the S.H.O.T. Show.

Ned :who knows:

I haven’t seen one, but I noticed that Rokon has posted a new manual on their web site.

Did they get your dredge fixed?? That must have been one scary experience……..

No, the dredge is still in the graving dock at the Brooklin Navy Yard. I'm hearing anywhere from weeks to months to get it repaired and OK to pass the ABS inspections.

I was OK, I was on the big tug 100' away. I'll bet the dredge deck hands had their moment when we sounded the danger signal on our horn and they looked up to see a 60' high ship bow 100 ' away coming straight at them!
