Default Pardon me, but...what is a "bubble boat?"

That's what a windlass is for.

I picked the task of dropping and retrieving the anchor as a common
task that one does on the foredeck, there are other other reasons such
as handling dock lines that require you to walk the curved foredeck of
a bubble boat, that can be very difficult when the foredeck is wet. I
learned the hard way not to use the "Wash and Wash" soap on a bubble
boat.

On a serious note, I am surprised how often I see people waxing the
foredeck including the non skid surfaces of these nice curved foredeck.



Woody Wax Non-Skid. I use it on the foredeck, on the side decks, and on
the cabin floor of Yo Ho. Works fine.

Thanks,
It looks like it a breeze to apply.
