The Renegade Factory (otherwise known as the "McFactory") operated in the
old fuel office at McCormick Lumber between 1977 and 1979 under the
seriously misguided notion that you could build four just as easily as
one. There, the selfless labors of many 4LIYC members (but a faithful few
in particular) helped grow the Renegade fleet by an "instant" four boats
(Chuck Dykman's, Mike & Bill McCormick's and Mark Langenfeld's -- Gary
Sternberg is now campaigning the Langenfeld boat). Is this a great club, or what?
