Outboard security conundrum
Many have commented critically about the odd (international orange) that I
paint verious things. However, I'm hoping that if these same critics see my stolem motor or anchor on another boat, they will say 'That must be Steve's! No one else would paint xxxx with such an ugly color". I have already recovered a stolen anchor because it was easy for to identify. Steve s/v Good Intentions |

Steve s/v Good Intentions I identify all my all my easily removable property with fluorescent day glo pink and green paint. I figure that the two colours side by side stand out as obviously mine. I loan equipment out at various events and no one has ever loaded my equipment on the assumption it is theirs. Peter. fishing boat "Bluefin" (under serious renovation) |

A bright orange anchor would send the marine squad of "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" leaping into their lavender Zodiacs to do an intervention on my appalling colour sense. On the other hand, I'd get a free anchor. Decisions, decisions. R. |

Colour sense is one thing - but think of it as being trend-setting, iconoclastic, and un-lemminglike. It may catch on.... Steve "do you want a pretty boat, or lots of stolen anchors?..." |

That's what they said about the Freedom rigs, but we're not there yet G That's because the Freedoms are soooooo boring to sail. "Set and forget" is great, but what do you do for the other 23.5 hours in the day? ;-) Hey, I like the Slocum method of tacks on the deck. That's not pretty when it works... Good choice, but the legal p[rofession has effectively made that counter-productive. Steve |
