Nice boat, bet the rigging will not rip lose.


Not in an offshore squall, anyway.

I understand that there are a few things that will rip loose the
rigging. TOWs, MADRATs, 16" NGFS, etc etc. Personally, I don't sail in
locations where those things are likely


Funny you mention the M1A1.

My docking light Port side..Explosion and shock proof watertight
fixture off a real M1A1 Tank.

It's 12V?

... Makes it nice boarding late on a dark
night, has a fisheye lens that project a perfect puddle pattern.


What's a "puddle pattern"?

DSK

Yes it is 12 V

The shape of a round puddle on the ground. Many autos have puddle light
in the bottom of the door or bottom of the side mirror.

So you don't step in a puddle getting out? I get it. Never heard that
before, learn something every day.

It's for extremely shallow draft vessels.
