I'm more serious about it than you. I'm watching that bird.

I'd say (from my couch without seeing it in person) that its mostly cosmetic. Fibreglass (or perhaps carbon in your case?) is transparent, it is glass after all. You've worn off the gelcoat which is a top coat that protects the glass and makes it look like a sweet shiny thing. You haven't effected the structure but you have removed the protection. That's mostly a concern for something that sits in the water all the time. Water can ingress into the glass fibres.

Its worth getting repaired but probably not urgent. It's possible to do yourself but probably not advisable unless you have the experience and tools. If you're not looking for a perfect repair you could buy some 2 part epoxy paint and slap it on.

Philip K Dick is absolutely winning the Predictive Distopian Futures Award out of all the sci-fi authors.

Take your belt off and wrap it around the back of the chair and your waist.

Chocks are cheaper than any incident that could occur without them.

On closer inspection I see that they are.

There the mark on the guy's head, maybe Everett stubbed the cigar on his head?

 

Boeing is for sure a shit show and terribly managed, but I don't think they would blatantly kill guys like that. I think it's far more likely that the first guy did kill himself because he figured everybody would think Boeing whacked him and that would do far more damage to the company than his testimony would. Now any news falls under a suspicious gaze and here we are thinking some other guys unfortunate death is due to nefarious deeds.

Or I'm wrong and Boeing has a CIA division ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

Welcome to another sailing community! Hopefully there's some crew around to liven the place up! Anything wind powered goes!

 

I liked this guy's dodger so started following him. He's a cruiser but got invited to a regatta and filmed it. I think it gives a great perspective of what a sailboat race is like. I think more cruisers should go racing, it teaches you how to react under pressure and how to use your equipment. And tests your equipment, it's better to break stuff on a Wednesday night than 2 weeks out from port!
