Odd Sailboat ads

[rgranger]

I thought it would be fun to share the odd things we run across when perusing sailboat ads. To start things off… I was on FB-market place earlier today and ran across an add with this photo…

So I guess it comes with dock line

it comes with dock line

Gold Threaded!!

I... THINK... I can see how that gold dock line is wrapped. What I'm curious about is how it was executed. It looks, to me, like the working end of the line was wrapped inside of the standing end, twice, before the final turn that crossed to the outside. Not the strongest knot. But, how ever did the knotter execute that knot? Did they thread the working end under and inside the standing end twice, or did they create the "rolling" hitch before slipping it over the cleat horn?

There are sooo many snarky things I could say here

Oh my

I wonder what he would say if I offered to dispose of it for $2000?

... and this one comes with swiffer pads.....

Dear Sir,

Would you consider an offer of $3.28 for the box of Swiffer pads ?

Thank you.

 

[Will Gilmore]

I'll bet the one dollar boat you posted, rgranger, never saw a swiffer pad, much less, a box of them.

If both boats are for sale for a dollar, I would go for the one that maintenance was done on, even if it was just a swiffer wipe and hose down.

Is that an 8-track player in the first picture?
That's a good sign that the paper charts are up to date.
