Translation: Not enough flat deck for scantily clad women to stretch out
on, with their hot, oiled bodies glistening in the sun.


Heh, heh. It's fun to watch them try though. And slide off.

A new way to catch pike - use bikini as trap!

That's what a windlass is for.

I picked the task of dropping and retrieving the anchor as a common task
that one does on the foredeck, there are other other reasons such as
handling dock lines that require you to walk the curved foredeck of a
bubble boat, that can be very difficult when the foredeck is wet. I
learned the hard way not to use the "Wash and Wash" soap on a bubble boat.

On a serious note, I am surprised how often I see people waxing the
foredeck including the non skid surfaces of these nice curved foredeck.

Woody Wax Non-Skid. I use it on the foredeck, on the side decks, and on
the cabin floor of Yo Ho. Works fine.

Thanks,
It looks like it a breeze to apply.

I've seen this phrase several times here in Rec.Boats, and I was
curious to what they are.

Any boat whose skipper wears a Speedo.

I take it , the phrase is mentioned to describe craft with a more
modern "styling?

He's right. Those boats are designed by idiots, for customers who are
idiots.

Any intelligent person who has kids can look at the rooms in a house and
figure out where a toddler's going to get into trouble. It's the same with
boats. It's obvious that certain tasks take place on the foredeck, and that
it must be safe to get there and work there. If the designer or customer
don't see this, they're idiots. Some things are simply true.
