Sailing
it wasn't a can, it was a buoy.

Hey Scotty, looks like the perfect and relaxing
trip.
It was. Those 4 days alone were worth the price of a
crane.
Just because the skipper of another vessel is an
arse..
is no need to
call his passengers " Skank"...... just not
nice...and
in
that case not
true.
What skipper, I was just generalizing.
Bull****! And it's just not nice, beside it will
dis-courage him from
posting more pictures.
discourage whom?
Thanks Joe. It was fun to make. As soon as I rolled
it
out
I noticed it on the bow rail. I think I can raise the
whole
furler another 4 inches, that might do it. BTW, when
I'm
close hauled, sheeted in tight, it is inside the rail.
I don't think chafe should be a problen on those
smooth
rails, if it is, I can add a patch.

I had mine made to clear the rails and provide a bit
more
visibility.
It's a trade off..a loss of power, but it's nice to see
were your
going.
Well, I don't have a pilot house, and I like to sit on the
low sode so visability isn't too much of a problem.
Though, the other night I came real close to a green can,
it's light was out and I didn't see it till I was close.
