¶ I PURCHASED THIS VESSEL with knowledge of the good reputation of Elco, (The Electric Launch Company) although I was unaware of Elco's early experiments with high speed motorboats. Also I was unaware of the factories production of vessels for military purposes. And never I imagined the company would be faced with a PR dilemma by providing these luxury craft with wind shields preventing the owner from getting wet but opening him to an unwelcomed discomfort and undeserved reputation of being regarded as a sissy.
I would much prefer being a dry sissy than a wet yachtsman. Besides there are a multitude of ways to get wet wind shields or not. Some ways do not require leaving the dock.
