No doubt they have been either adjusted to their maximum available tension... which has become insufficient due to their age.... or it's a case of blatant disregard for the safety of those aboard by not attending to ship's duties and basic upkeep. Yeah they look like Robs been sitting and swinging on them. Also notice the poor cut of the jib, all mis-shapen and bunched up by the bow railings. Maybe he can't see out of those rounded and tinted ports to see the condition of his lifelines? And notice the deck shot, it looks like a step down Pyramid with sharp thin corner outlining the gull wing windows. An ankle breaker, toe cutter if I've ever seen one. Man I thought those winders were flush mounted, typical benny thinking. In due consideration.... the foredeck of the 35s5 is not the most ergonomic or person friendly location on the vessel. Maybe Bobsprit has not ventured beyond the cockpit due to a fear of slipping off those raked coamings? :-) Who can blame him? joe CM- "Scotty" wrote in message . ..

The lifelines are there Joe..... just hard to see in that lighting. The sails though... don't look like Mylar. CM |
