    Hello Marin and Everyone Else,

    OK, poor word choice. What I was seeing in my minds eye were Vikings,
    Cabos, Fountains and the like; sleek, fast and sexy. Compared to them,
    trawlers are indeed ungainly. However, the vast majority of trawlers and
    downeast style boats are, to me, handsome vessels that perfectly capture the
    essence of our seagoing legacy. No question.

    Personally, I see trawlers as works of art, especially the Nordhavns,
    Krogens, Northern Marines and Cape Horns; Classic, purposeful and
    beautifully proportioned. They elicit a visceral response in me, somewhat
    like a moth being drawn to a flame, the moth being me and the flame being
    the cost of ownership!

    Anyhow, that was a single sentence in a mainly unrelated post.

    Best Regards to All,

    Frank & Claudette Weismantel
    Elverta, CA
    Boatless for a little while longer
