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?!
"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....
Yea that would suck big time... Should have used some kind of protection ... If it was me.. I would just start crying.
