man those blue boats look fast! the one on Lanier better grow some wheels - cause that red clay is sure close to the slip.

How come there are no scuffs on those pretty blue hulls?

Need help please. I have never posted a picture before.
Anyone know what I am doing wrong?

[mod="Frank C]You need to use Photobucket's main-view, not the slideshow view.
Once in the "grid" view, simply click the IMG field below your picture,
and then paste that into your post ... Voila~![/mod]

Its the bottom of a hennessey style hammock and it is tied off at the Pulpit between the mast trailering base mounts and over the gooseneck around the mast.

You have to stretch it fairly tight to keep your butt from dragging on the deck.

We tried 3 styles of hammocks, 2 with crossbars and the hennessey and it was the only one that felt stable.

She likes to read up there and falls asleep on it.

Hi Mark,

Windchime is the name of our boat.

I guess I was getting a little too artsie, and named the photgraph as well.

Wind Chime,

I'm interested in your swim ladder....it's not the standard narrow short ladder most Macs have...I'm looking to do something like that.

Do you know what manufacture made it?
What is the width & length?
How is it mounted at transom?

Looks like it would make it much easier to get in and out of water for us aging sailors!
