  • Something unique can be fabricated from bronze.
    • The pulpit and stanchions and anchor roller were bronze on Passage and I made all the parts myself.

      • And Tehani and I both deeply appreciate it Westy

        • Good work. Good idea. I made a mistake putting a vee berth filler in our boat.
          • We have the filler in place at night; stow during the day.
        • Nice idea... clean and simple.
  • Gene, have you tied Briggs Marine?
