A HEAD FOR RUBATO

I dislike port-a-potties. I’m not too fond of poop in any form, really, being non-scatological by nature. In fact I consider it a sacrilege to poop on a boat at all, but since we may all be sinners, I confess I’ve pooped on a boat—somebody else’s, I should add.

RECONSIDERING ROSIE'S RIG

It was a typical hot Mississippi day when I walked into the Ocean Springs Yacht Club to cool off. I had just spent two hours bent in half while working inside the cabin of my West Wight Potter 15.

SHALLOW DRAFT

When we were kids, we had a cocker spaniel aboard during summer cruises. The dog apparently had a massive bladder, but we kids were happy to row her ashore when nature called. We thought boating with a pet was terrific…but did our folks have a voice in the matter?

TECH BIGHTS

Some fiberglass boats, like Boston Whaler skiffs and MacGregor power-sailers, are built with integral flotation foam between the inner and outer laminations. Roger MacGregor was willing to flood his water-ballasted boats just to prove that they would not sink—and you can still find his old sales videos if you want to see for yourself.
