to Sea or How Chris Craft Nearly Ended My Career

Are you ready for
1959 Cacillac fins? Count the number of places you
are likely to slip and fall while attempting to
get around on this boat. |
 |
Here's
a good perspective of the deck that nearly ended
my career. When your foot slips, your leg
is going to go under the railing while your upper
body may catapult it self over the railing.
The railing is only 20" high and is utterly
useless. Notice that with a catwalk only 6"
wide, you have no choice but to step up onto the
heavily rounded surface. |
 |
Here's yet another view of a bubble
deck. Photographing a white deck in bright sun doesn't
work out too well, so I have drawn in the contour
lines to show the curvature of the deck of this
this boat. With catwalks only 3-4" wide, it
forces you step up on the steeply sloping deck with
nothing to hold on to. |
