I respect what I can discern of your sailing skill, but what's with the
cartoon colors on your boat?


Yellow and Red are known to be the most noticeable colors at sea
after international orange.

Blue is bad luck on a boat, and white is boring.

Shell oil uses the same colors and the USMC. You would not beleive how
many jarheads ask me if I served in the USMC.

Besides I like Cartoons: Check out this classic, it's one of my
favorates.

Do you have bow thrusters?


Wilbur Hubbard


No..You don't need a bow thruster on anything under 140' IMO
What you see is the Hawse pipe, in that picture we were racing
downwind so I removed the anchor to reduce drag.
The pipe and doubler you see are all Monel.
