That sounds like ours!!I have a brass lamp on board, does that count? Everything else is modern.
Actually back about 13 years ago I had more people commenting about my first Pilothouse, a Nimble Arctic 25, at the dock and even on the water altering course to look. Maybe not truly "salty" ..... but it Was Striking ......with a dark green hull, yellowish topsides, and tanbark sails. For the next 10 years I went "salt free" with a couple Catalinas, but now the commenters are back to compliment me on what I think is a newer but fairly salty version of the 40 year old run of the original 33 ..... my current pride and joy.....So salty people follow to ask about her.
Is this code for some kinky sexual perversion? ;-)...cravings both bow and stern, ...
Party pooper.I wouldn't wrap the stainless steel cockpit railings that way... it is more likely to corrode than if left unwrapped.
I'm willing to put up with periodically removing and re-wrapping the rails for the added safety feature. I feel much more secure going forward to change a headsail with a firm grip on those rails as I leave the cockpit.Vega—
