Boat sellers should be aware of a new cashier-check-scam by people posing as "interested buyers." They pay with a phoney cashiers check made out for an amount larger than the purchase price, and ask you to send the balance back to them or to some phoney shipping agency "to pay for the shipping."

It looks like the check cleared because US Bank regulations require funds to be made available to you in one to five days for cashiers' checks, but it takes the bank three weeks or so to find out it's fraudulent. Then the bank won't pay you for the phoney check, you've lost the money you sent back to the seller, and you still have the boat to sell.

Don't get caught by this scam! Details are available at http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/scams/carsale.asp

H-28 Lark in Narragansett Bay, July 1998

Welcome to the North American H-28 Web page!   In the topics below you'll find lots of
useful information if you own, are buying, or are curious about H-28s.  You'll also find
several neat pictures of Lark cruising Narragansett Bay in Rhode Island, USA.
We try to update the site once a month or so.  Our intent is to:

1. Provide information on this page and answer all inquiries to the best of our ability.
2. Provide a common contact point for H-28 owners to get in touch with each other.
3. Assist people in organising events such as rendezvous, cruises, picnics, or parties.
4. Post pictures, stories, addresses, inquiries, for sale ads or any thing else of interest
that H-28 people send to us.

I've found lots of sources of information about this design in the past decade, and will be happy to try to answer any question you might have.  Just drop me an e-mail at THAschman@aol.com.

Greetings, H-28 people. This website has gotten way out of date due to heavy demands on our time from both our jobs and a young family. I will be catching up on it and answering various inquiries as soon as I can, starting with the most recent ones. Thank you for your patience! - Theo
