Just wondering who would have the right of way, a sailboat or a building?

Ugh! Hideous! It violates everything that is sacred about sailing... it must sink!

It may actually be a fiberglass boat, with peel-and-stick "tile" applied. The stuff comes in really thin sheets with adhesive backing.

As to privileged vs. burdened (don't want to get the 'right of way' folks started again), the building is clearly constrained by draft, so the sailboat would be the burdened vessel. It is clearly burdened by looks as well.

Oh. It is clearly a fiberglass boat with crappy stick-on brick... it is an abomination. It is starting to grow on me like a pug.

The worst part is the registration expired in 05. The state was so ashamed of it they removed the numbers and state abbreviation. I'm pretty sure it's real brick. And the water ballast tank is filled with concrete. :stir:

Boy, that boat looks to be built like a brick sh*t house!
Or maybe a brick sh*t boat.
Still, I have to admire the owners courage to be different if not his taste in design.

The worst part is the registration expired in 05. ...
A close look at the photo... and I'm convinced the registration sticker is photo-shopped in. And the mortar in brick looks real.... so I'm wondering if this is just someone with advanced photo-shop skills.
