I gotta be totally honest...

the term "wrinkle boat" just isn't that endearing to me....reminds me of "shriveled boats" or something.....like a prune...or worse. LOL I sail one....own two....I love 'em... but I tend to think of them maybe more as "folded, creased, lapstrake, planked, clinker, or anything other than "wrinkled"....but that's just me ! Wrinkles are something left over as a result of laziness or neglect....girls don't like wrinkles....for that matter...I don't think guys like wrinkles....do they?? I mean...wrinkles gross me out! I don't want my boat to gross me out!!! LOL I don't know, maybe. It is what it is... LOL I know this.....If I was in the market to buy a boat, knew nothing about boats, and a guy said.."come on over and take a look the boat I have for sale over here...it's a wrinkle boat..." My first reaction wouldn't be, "Hey where's it at? I want to see that. That sounds SEXY!"

LOL far from it!

Am I all by myself on this one??? Something tells me I probably should have kept my mouth shut. LOL Dang it! I hate it when I am all by myself!!

Now if you are talking about the skipper...OK...I'm starting to resemble that term! No denying that. Sorry Jo.
