BenT's right on this one.  Unless said yacht has a Vanagon dingy,
this isn't the correct forum.  Might let it slide on Friday, but it's
not Friday anywhere on the planet. If ya need a Barcalounger for the
helm, please ask on a list that routinely discusses things like
standing rigging, roller furling jibs, helms, davits and the like.
Ask them that knows how to pronounce forecastle. I suspect most on
this list do not.
