@zipper Is that the finished product of the one you drew up much earlier in the thread? Looks great!
Have you seen the documentary called The Weekend Sailor? I just watched this morning. It’s about the Mexican dude that has never sailed and enters the round the world sailing race and wins. Pretty darn good documentary.
This is me! LOL
IZ, what a beautiful man. Hard not to feel moved listening to this:A couple of things of interest to some perhaps. Willow just started a YouTube channel about Sailing Panana . Uploaded some short videos, More to come with drone footage as soon as the weather warms up. View attachment 111604 Another thing, we were sitting having coffee in the cabin this morning, listening to "IZ"and pulled up a Hawaiian dictionary. It is a good thing her family spells her name with the accents over the A's versus not having any, it's actually pretty funny.
Many spellings

AND because it is boat related, it is a good thing it is not spelled like the green meaning below. Funny, just say'in.

It's been in her family since the mid 1800's. The "chiefess" mentioned below was her great great grandmother.

She said "Ya'll". !!!!! I thought in NE it was pronounced "you's guys"??
I love that "perch seat"!We went out to the Beneteau this afternoon to measure for cockpit cushions. We recieved the 2" closed cell foam, marine vinyl and the foam cutter today.

We also had recieved the stern rail perch seats and brought them out for a test fit. This is going to be an awesome place to sit at the helm and steer with my feet. Bringing them back home so Willow can make foam cushions for them too.

Interested to learn how the foam cutter works for you. I have heard mixed reviews...
I love that "perch seat"!
I may need to get one for use at home.
