1) seaworthy would be a turtle on the sliding companionway hatch.
Easily added IF required. 2) seaworthy would be hanked-on headsails, lose the roll up system. Repeated trips to the bow are not safe and put sailors at more risk than properly installed furlers. No one but a putz pinhead believes otherwise. 3) seaworthy would be real running lights on the bow. You know, Those lights are just fine. 4) seaworthy would be double lowers on the mainmast. Nonsense. 5) seaworthy would be double lifelines. Again, easy enough to add and probably a valid upgrade. 6) seaworthy would be at least two different anchors and rodes at the ready on the sprit. At the ready in the slip?? You have no idea what kind of ground tackle he has. 7) an open transom is not seaworthy. Nonsense. 8) seaworthy would be a real keel. That thing looks like it has one of those retractable keels. Good for trailering but definitely NOT seaworthy. More nonsense. Retractable keels have gone around the world many times. 9) Those Hunter-copy stern rail seats are an unseaworthy gimmick. Explain to us how they're unseaworthy. We used them recently on a Catalina 36. On the hook they are great! 10) Only one cleat on the bow. What a joke. There should be at least four or a bollard of some sort for affixing lines. Fewer forward cleats when possible is better. Less fouling issues, or foot hazzard and a stronger foredeck. Tell us, Mister Sockpuppet...ever own a boat of your own? RB 35s5 NY |
