Well, the longtail motor system is ugly as hell, and probably dangerous. Apart from that, it's a good-looking little boat.

 

[JBE]

I vote cool. He's an interesting guy, longtime cruiser with his big boat in the Caribbean and smaller boats like that at home in the PNW.

I also vote cool. I would not want to own it tu would be happy to just look ta it on the dock or go for a sail in it.

Maybe it's a PNW thing. Socks? On a boat?

Not that I'm above the inappropriate wearing of socks or anything, but at least I don't claim it's cool.

When your feet are cold, you wear socks, right Bob?

You look like Weird Al Yankovic in the movie UHF

I wear socks when the weather gets cool. I wear Filson, medium weights. They are the world's best sock and,,,,,,they come in my size. Spike was the one who taught me about them. It's a PNW thing to wear socks with sandals.

That Kutter is very cool.

AFAIK, it's a pretty ancient german thing to wear socks with sandals.

In a former life, some of the scientists I worked with wore knee-length black socks, shorts, suit/sports coat, plus white shirt & tie when they had meetings with their budget people.

They looked like they shopped at Geeks Unlimited.

I was working in Marine Research at the time.

They kind of dressed like this, but with wing-tip shoes...

Bob, Bob, Bob - socks with sandals? PUHLEEEZE - that is NOT a PNW (or PSW) thing, that is strictly a dork thing, along the lines of The Full Nanaimo (white tie, white belt, white shoes).

If it is cool enough for socks, it is too cool for sandals and deck shoes should be worn.

That whole "Business Bermudas" thing is just insanely dorky, even IN Bermuda.

Pretty sure it is an English tradition, when in the Antipodes. I think maybe the Romans started it off in ancient, Britain.

Nothing wrong there, that was my school uniform.

Did you wear wing-tip's to complete your ensemble?

 

[olaf hart]

Well, it was the fifties and early sixties, there really wasn't much choice, although the toes were rounded then.

More a Spitfire wingtip, rather than a Mustang.

My homeland… I used to dress like that every day, didn’t seem the least bit dorky at the time.

Part of being a dork is blissful unawareness of your own dorkiness.

The Head Dork

For about a year in the 80's I had a full 12" mohawk (black and white or blue or green vertical stripes like a zebra) that can be directly attributed to those socks.

I'd get that mohawk again tomorrow but never again the socks.
