Ben, What ever trips your trigger. Like I said, this boat allows its owner to do anything they want. :) Rummy In a message dated 3/2/2009 2:41:33 P.M.

He made these sails and rigging as table decorations for a Mardi Gras ball we attended. Their float was decorated like a pirate ship. Being an alcohol-heavy event, I only brought the cheapie camera, so the pictures aren't great. http://theskinnyonbenny.com/img/gal/052%20-%20Mardi%20Gras%202009/resHPIM022 1.JPG http://theskinnyonbenny.com/img/gal/052%20-%20Mardi%20Gras%202009/resHPIM022 5.JPG I think I'm going to get a graphic designer to make me a logo for Velvet Elvis (I'm thinking a skull and crossbones, except that the skull wears a pompadour and the crossbones are guitars), and have Jim make me a set of sails like this. I'm thinking that it would look good bolted to my dock, so everyone knows which boat belongs there while I'm out sailing. What do you think? BenSee the original archive post
