What Polish shall I use??

This guy here wants to know if a good polish will remove the scratches off his boat.

I would recommend Semtex or C4... both of which will get rid of the scratches quite nicely.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

My dad is a TV repairman and has a killer set of tools. He could fix this - no problem.

Hey Giu, do you think that crane operator should have used a stronger boom?

Is this another Polish joke?

When you think about though. Now the guy gets a new boat, and probably doesn't have to pay for the transport of the old boat. All in all, I can think of worse things.

BTW, shouldn't this be in the "Buying A Boat" section?

It'll pass the survey, but the sea trial could be tricky.

I think that is Giu's new boat... notice...no mast or boom... it's a stink pot...

Notice how our resident Portagee seems to have boom troubles..

Did you notice, in the second picture, the improper placement of fenders? Perhaps using fender boards could have averted the whole situation?
