I have a figurehead *inside* my vessel up in the forepeak.
It's a picture - not a carving - and it's varnished onto the
locker door in the recess. All sailing vessels need some sort
of a figurehead for good luck.
Some sailors even painted 'eyes' on the port and starboard
bows so the vessel could chose the safest path if the watch
was sleeping on the job.

Joe,
Two helpful hints: beehive hairdo and bullet bra.
My figurehead is a cast aluminum lawn jockey.
I hear Jon's (figurehead) is a giant phallus.

I hear Crapton's is a little shriveled worm.
