Sometimes It's The Small Things
Following my "10 Days of Command Performance" posting, it seems that many small improvements have been made, including further deep-cleaning and polishing, as well as a few other long-awaited projects.
On Thursday, June 12th, I decided it was time to adorn CP with her rightful burgee. Having obtained the burgee and ensign poles from a fellow club member, whose 42' unfortunately came to an ugly demise, he had several important pieces saved, and bestowed them upon me after Jamie and I acquired our 42'. I was incredibly grateful, as these items are no longer available for purchase (and rarely make it to eBay).
Here is the CC burgee
Also, a new set of horns were installed (by Glassic Boatworks) the previous weekend, too.
And finally, I couldn't help but photograph CP's beautiful new "Styled" plate, captured on a beautiful June evening, with the sun setting just right.
What's so interesting about the newly added plate is the remarks of at least a 1/2-dozen folks, who have asked, "What does it mean by 'Styled in Fiberglass'?"
I reply, "Think back to when this boat was built. It was 1968, and fiberglass hadn't been used as a mainstream boatbuilding material but for about 6 years. Fiberglass was the 'latest and greatest' thing to hit boatbuilding then. So, 'Styled..." was a way to market fiberglass and its use in recreational boating."
I then get the head-nodding, and the "Oh.... I see. Pretty cool."
I think so.
Until next time....
Rob,
Where did you get the "styled" name p[late rechromed and painte. On my 31, it is on the starboard bulkhead in the cokpit. How to get it off without breaking?
It is just the little things that I am staring to do..I'm here in Md. for a while working on Sigmachi.
What do you recommend for "bringing up" the exterior topsides? (Other than a $10,000+ awlgrip painting!)
Alan
