Wear on Boat from Extensive Use - 10/30/05 05:59 AM
After pulling my boat, I've done an end of season inspection. Everything on my poor boat is worn, and I mean everything! -But this suprised me:
The side rails and the corner castings that receive the side rails are wearing significantly. You can see the obvious metal loss. I guess 29 years of tacking takes its toll. It still amazes me that microscopic wear adds up like that. (Then it makes a person wonder what time and constant movement are doing to your own body.)
