More Thoughts

Bow Thrusters
Cruisers encounter all kinds of less than perfect conditions when sailing into unknown ports or anchorages. A bow thruster can be worth its weight in gelcoat in a really tight spot.

Reduced Glare
Deck Color
After days at sea in the bright sunshine, Ivory or off-white decks can be much easier on your eyes .
Stark white decks tend to produce high levels of glare.


Acessible from in
the water


Swim Ladder
Swim ladders should be accessible to anyone who has accidently fallen in the water. Ideally, you should be able to deploy it yourself if you have fallen in. If tied-off to the top of the stern rail, you can’t get to it!
