Cousin Titcho wondering what purpose this nice bit of wood serves in the boat. The mish-mash of various parts and semi-installed equipment that comes with these live-aboard cruising boats is a source of much humor for sailors more interested in day sailing and racing.
As for myself, I fall somewhere in the middle of those who keep everything "just in case" and those that obsessively de-clutter the boat so you can actually get to the stuff- with a tendency for the former, and a desire to go to the latter.
Later ex-owner Mark told me "Oh, that's a good piece of teak, I used it once as part of the dodger." As part of the dodger(*)?! Now that's creative...
(*)dodger - a "windshield" of canvas and plastic that is installed above the companionway to keep the cockpit dry when sailing into the wind and seas.
