Dick and Jane who? moose stored, you are pretty ignorant about sailing. maybe you want to read a second, or even a third, book before you continue to post.

It's just amazing, if water gets in it runs right back out again quick as a wink. And it's handy a lot of other ways, too. Yep, it gets rid of that easy to get at, easy to repair, nasty old ugly rudder hangn from the transom. Also does a swell job of reducing living space in a given length. As for seaworthiness... the more poops the better. Well, I suppose happy hour on the steps of a swim cum fishing cum barbecue platform in mid ocean makes it all worth it. Time to change the hood ornament. |

moose sore, when you stated that "fitted cockpit cushions" made a boat more
seaworthy. so, moose store, you are saying you haven't even *one* book? That is stranger than usual, for most idgits read at least one before proclaiming experthood.
