	BOOJUM (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The boojum tree is one of the strangest plants imaginable.
		The trunks of boojums often branch near the tops, and sometimes contort into strange shapes, even bending to touch the ground.
		Boojums produce clusters of creamy white flowers at the tips of the trunks in July-August.

	The Living Desert - Boojum
		The Boojum is an incredibly odd plant species found only on the peninsula of Baja California, with small populations growing near Puerto Libertad, Sonora, Mexico.
		Along with the Cardons, ocotillos, and yuccas, the Boojum forms the succulent forests of the Viscaino Desert of Baja.
		The Boojum, like other ocotillos, is able to quickly shed its leaves during drought or dry periods, and then quickly grow new leaves after rainfall.

	Fouquieriaceae (ocotillo family)
		Boojum is a stem succulent with a single or branched, tapered primary stem to more than 60 feet (18 m) tall.
		Boojum, cardón, and senita are especially vulnerable to high winds and suffer significant losses of large individuals from these events.
		The tallest known boojum was discovered by Robert Humphrey in Montevideo Canyon near Bahia de Los Angeles in the 1970s; at the time it was 81 feet (24.6 m) tall.

	The Tug Yacht, Boojum
		Boojum's hull is modeled after working tugs, in order to get the largest carrying capacity within the smallest overall length, therefore the plumb stem, etc. Boojum's hull has been optimized for ocean conditions and for the boat's anticipated speed / length range.
		Boojum was detailed for automated plasma arc cutting so that the frames and plating could be pre-cut and delivered to the builder as a "kit" requiring no lofting and no hull layout, just a grid established on the building floor for assembling the pre-cut parts...
		Boojum and many subsequent projects we've done have shown that not only can NC cutting be a highly accurate means of making boat parts, but that it can pay its own way several times over.

	The Tug Yacht, Boojum
		As with the Boojum 25, hull and pilot house construction are aluminum.
		Boojum 30's hull is modeled after working tugs, in order to get the largest carrying capacity within the smallest overall length.
