My naval associates used to joke about products that were "sailor-proof." The general conclusion that there was no such thing.
Our club is in a metropolitan harbor with more than its share of stiff currents, submerged pilings, and floating hull-cracking debris. It has also maintained a custom of communal OC-1 and 2's. In recent weeks the number of hull and rudder damage boats has risen to crisis proportions.
Carbon-hulled OC-1's are not normally built for durability or hard use.
Anyone have any suggestinos for club boats? I've given Tahitian fiberglass boats some thought, but the consensus is they are too hard to manuever among the piers, and crossing ferries and water taxis.
Suggestions anyone?
