Frank, Thanks for all your great videos. I got some great laughs from the Sea Chest of Horrors episodes. I am in the process of buying our first big boat, a 1981 Gulfstar 44 center cockpit sailboat. My surveyor is Gary Frankovich, the current president of SAMS, so I think I am in good hands. I found a couple safety items to address from watching your videos. Thanks! Tip is on the way.
