Cleverly designed trawler built for long-distance cruising.
by Alan Wendt
Over decades of boating, my wife and I have exchanged a closet full of nautical t-shirts and hats that were humorous in their day.
“First Mate, Only Mate,” “Desperate Boat Wives,” “So Nauti,” “What Drain Plug?” — the list goes on. Social awareness has all but eliminated certain terms of endearment too. For example, we decided that “boat ballerina” was no longer proper for either one of us to describe tiptoeing along the narrow railing on express cruisers to secure bow lines or retrieve anchors. Upon second thought, it may have less to do with social enlightenment and more with body mass.
