That said, their website -- https://www.regentcraft.com/faq -- says "REGENT is currently headquartered outside of Boston, MA". Maybe they haven't updated it.
yes, their prospectus says in the Greater Boston Area? Has that come to mean Rhode Island? All of the job postings say North Kingston. This is the type of company that is ripe for monies from other states.

I wouldn't get my hopes up about seeing seagliders around here. If any of the 400+ orders were local, that would have been mentioned.
Does it matter if anyone here buys them? I thought the issue is whether we build them.

It would be nice to have them local. GeoffD is already planning to take a seaglider to Martha's Vineyard.

I don't even know what that means.

Did you really bother to create a response just to call someone poor?

Pretty vicious.

mikeugh, you're new here so you probably don't realize that those posters trade playful barbs on a regular basis. Pretty sure that no harm is meant from either side.

sandsonik, you're not new here and you should know better.

True that. Some very low brows populate our forum. Icky types. Left alone they simply feed off of each other's resentments & crime fetishes. I guess it does drive their betters away. Otherwise, not a bad bunch here, when we focus on our better angels.

There are some people who come on here and post anger filled messages every morning when they wake up. While it can be unpleasant to read, I don't think they're horrible people. I just assume there's something really bad going on in their lives.

But what does any of this have to do with seagliders? Let's get back on topic.
