The best thing about steel and aluminum, is you don't have
to penetrate the deck to attach something. That keeps the
water out of the boat, deck, etc. All you need to worry
about are the mast partners and hatches.

Given a choice I'd take Aluminum or steel over composite
or wood.

If you use masts in tabernacles you get the benefit of a fixed/pinned
mast structure (more rigid than pure deck stepped) plus no deck
penetration.

Do you write articles for one of those sex magazines, or is my mind just in
the gutter tonight?

WGAF. 613 6267 4305. I'm in the book.

Answering machine is permanently on anyway. I never answer the phone
until I hear who's calling. Most people just call on my cell phone.

Nah. According to Tadpole, I'm Oz's sockpuppet. In which case, you can
see how brilliant Oz is. Any moron can construct a sockpuppet that's
more stupid than the owner (see Neal & Bobsprit for examples), but Oz
has managed to create one that's brighter.

Well, I do know that Oz is brilliant, but I'm sure you aren't his sock. The
timelines just don't add up.
