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.
