Fred Wickens Bio........long

[old rigger]

I saw some recent interest in Fred Wickens and his boats recently here on this site so I though I should share this info that I have on him.
That 'Diabolique' boat is just plain stunning. Wouldn't mind stumbling across that thing, would look good behind my 41 Buick (just like Wicken's, lol)...

Old Rigger,
Awesome! Is this the same article you gave to John Canfield in Long Beach? He was supposed to make a copy for me. Never happened.
Thanks for posting this!
