Where would you find the "Apostles" on some sailing vessels?  |
Sorry Boasun, not the answer I was looking for.... To further clarify
America it can be argued, comitted an infraction for which she could have been disqualified, but she was not. What was the infraction?
BTW I believe Apostles are bollards for
anchor lines on old sailing vessels.
