I was at the "TweenWaters Inn" on Captiva Island, FL when a guy pulled into the marina with a brand new Hinckley. He tied-up to the dock and he and his wife went to check in with the dockmaster. In less than 10 minutes he returned to find the aft, portside had just touched a piling and the dark finish on his hull was horribly scraped all the way into the glass buy barnacles on that post. You'd think for all that money they'd design a boat where the rubrail touches the piling before the hull?!

Oh my bad!
I guess this scrape was above the quarter guard? There is lots of shape back there, but that's what fenders are for....
