Since the Caliber and Island Packet Factories are located close to each other, why not tour both?

Many years ago, while "crewing" aboard a nuclear submarine, I raised the periscope to see a cruising sailboat making slow progress. Switching the scope to high power I saw three lovelies erasing...

Just in case the original posters are still interested;

Alan,

That handrail is teak. I coated ours with Bristol Finish. Most Nauticats have teak decks, but I opted not to have them. I almost had a teak-free boat topside, but Nauticat puts teak where...
