[C320-list] Is anyone else.....

[Jane & Ken]

Dear All,
   The shaving of the fore portion of the legs is a result of two things---
   1) folk need to raise the leg as they exit the boat----no cuts, no problem.
   2) the SSshield is sharp!!! DO NOT drag your body parts on this razor.
We had a lot of blood on the cockpit floor prior to my decision to protect the "razor" edge by applying two strips of metal tape to the razors edge----15 years later we have no blood in the cockpit--as an aside---the only folk with blood letting were under 61 inches???

We finally made it to the boat yesterday to sail and we looked around the 

companionway trying to figure out what people were getting bangged up on and 

didn't see anything.  Maybe they have changed things.  I fell down the steps on 

July 2 but i was barefoot, had my hands full, and the third step was wet.  It 

was 11 pm triple digit heat index.  Too hot to enjoy sailing.

I cut my shins almost every time I am on the boat.  I had no idea that 

so many others had this issue.



Don't suffer in silence!

near permanent shin scars to Jerry in Annapolis. He said they moved it on new 

boats but an inspection did not bear this out. This list gave me the solution of 

backing off the screws and mounting a small white weatherstrip from Home Depot 

under the wear pad with the small round piece just hanging over the threshold. 

It is permanent and protects from hitting the wear plate or the fiberglass. Our 

scars are almost healed now!
