In Response To: I know nothing about cat boats... (Greg, Com-Pac 23/3 "Ohana" Port Orange, FL)

I caught mice just as they were starting to scout out our Horizon Cat, and found that they were crawling up the stern strap. Now that there is nothing but fiberglass to scale up, they haven't been back.

If I see scratches from mouse-sized grapling hooks on the bulwarks, I don't know what I'll do.

Oh, if I thought I had the mouse problem under control I'd leave the sail on, with a few of those anti-static dryer sheets tucked into the sail. Spiders don't seem to like those things.
