Hi Bill, After examining the nice photo of Storm Petrel I have some questions: 1. What are those half round items on your cockpit coaming? Anti-PWC missile launchers? 2. That boarding ladder looks neat. Make and model if you please. 3. You have a bow pulpit; I don't on LEPPO. Do you find it useful? Would you recommend I consider getting one? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I had the boat cover off last week when I showed my M15 to Rick Langer, but here in Connecticut - as usual - early May is still not pleasant sailing time. The macho sailing fiends are in the water by May 1st, jeering at the rest of us that think Memorial Day is just fine for the start of the season, and making us jealous while we are working on boats and they are out sailing. Have a great season in Storm Petrel. Connie
