    Whatever makes you happy.

    Me? I think the wood makes the boat. But I was born to suffer.

    What if the Commander were built today?

    Cool

    Hey, put some clothes on that fine lady. Make it teak, though. It would be disrespectful to mount too much bling-bling on her.

    Talking Come home, Joe!

    I post these here as an enticement to lure Parranda's prodigal skipper back into the fold of True Believers. Come home, Joe! Re-live the warmth and pleasures of good teak and mahogany, my apostate friend.

    King Starboard is an expensive marine polymer sheet. To say something is marine grade polymer is equal to saying a certain kind of wood is composed of cellulose. It is sold as an ALTERNATIVE TO TEAK. The material is UV resistant, requires no maintenance, won't rot, check, move or delaminate. Comes in light color shades and black, and dense and light forms with anti-skid pattrer(s) on one side.

    Befor you decide to use it, no where in any literature is glue mentioned. My guess it is a type of expanded polyethylene. So you're pretty much left to mechanical fastenings. I would be interested to know if any calking will hold in the coaming to deck joint.

    Here's the replacement boom end fitting on Cat Walk. (Boom was also replaced.) Allows the outhaul and reefing line to be inside the boom.

    I like wood too!!

    I had to make a change in the coaming since it was rotton...I miss the finish of wood but do not care for the up keep....I plan to make a grate for the cockpit and have some nice teak drops for the compainionway...also re working the interior which will be pretty stock...rigging is very important to me and I have reduced the size of cleats on deck to save my knees!!! After racing a few seasons I found what was a pain to deal with and want running rigging to work fast when I am out in the bay...BTW,I have fished off the boat and we have caught some nice halibut...This spring is when the run comes in for about two months...How about a fishing derby this year??? Joe

    Commanderpete, that Ariel must have been riding pretty LOOOOOOW in the water on the way back!!!!
    BTW, this photo was taken at "J-dock" in Seward, AK, on Resurrection Bay, one of my favorite sailing (and kayaking) spots! Of course also one of many great spots for Halibut fishing in AK. Resurrection Bay is IMHO the best sailing close to the Anchorage area (about 1.5 hours from Anchorage). I just wish the season were longer!

    Slippery Handrails?

    A question for Joe:

    Do you plan on partially covering the stainless steel handrails with something a bit more tacky? From personal experience, (OK, yours truly, the skipper fell overboard one night) stainless, esp. WET stainless is not the most secure hand grab. In defense of wood, which I also consider a royal PIA to take care of, bare teak does provide a lot of grip.

    Just a thought from a new member, a new member whose idea of "brightwork" is Windexing the mirror in the head......

    :-)
