Default The most extraordinary yacht of all time

Why not????? If is your boat, you do what you want and let the crew clean it
up. I was on that end of the stick as a teenager. Yes Larry, I was once.

Subject: The most extraordinary yacht of all time

I was very fortunate to visit the Perini Navi facility in Viareggio
last July. While there for a week helping to install new bridge
electronics on another SY (SY Galaxia), I wandered through the yard
and saw the solutions they used for the most common problems in
construction. It was VERY, VERY enlightening. I learned a bunch.
Imagine that there are no visible fasteners anywhere on these boats.
Everything is hidden. Imagine looking down the side of the hull, which
is finished like a Bently and seeing not a wrinkle or blemish
anywhere. Perini has a paint hall dedicated to just masts and spars
100 meters long. In there they suspend these enormous spars from the
roof for painting. These boats have a state of finish inside and out
that most people could not imagine and will never, in there entire
life, ever see. Steve


Gist don't seem right draggin' a stringer full of red snappers through
there to clean 'em in the galley, does it?....(c;

I was too.....once.....a long time ago.....early 60's. It was a helluva
ride! I was a rich kid. I made $1.20/hr as a clerk at Hawley's Rexall
Drug Store. I even sold women's cosmetics and jerked at a real soda
fountain. I started shoveling snow off the sidewalks when I was 12.
Moved inside when I was 14, unofficially...(c;

Richard Hawley died a couple of years ago in his 80's. Looks like the
store, which has been in Moravia for about 200+ years, is still there!
