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.

So, she is looking towards the stern, backwards into the cabin. Not a good
omen, and certainly does not rate as a figurehead.

The picture is of the posterior (as opposed to anterior)
side of a shapely thong-clad woman. She's looking forward.
I thought of putting a figurehead on the prow but it would
look rather stupid on a modern sloop with no bowsprit.
