It happened yesterday as it has happened at every marina that I have stayed at. Two lasses with camera in hand visited Pachuca and asked who had done the stainless steel work over the cockpit. I told them that it had done by Keith Scott of Ocean Stainless in Fremantle, Western Australia (a plug for Scotty!). I told them that Scotty had used CAD/CAM software to model the frame on the boat to achieve a nice flow of the lines. Then nodded approvingly and asked if they could take a photograph. They've got a 40-footer with no protection for the cockpit.
I've yet to see a better stainless steel cockpit frame on any boat.
This blog began in late 2006 with the planning and preparation for a circumnavigation of the world in my 39-foot sail boat Pachuca. It then covered a successful 5-year circumnavigation that ended in April 2013. The blog now covers life with Pachuca back home in Australia.
