Zippers on Boats, Charleston

Posted on 08 March 2018 by Isabel Gibson

While many boats work with ropes, it seems that a few work with zippers.

Who knew?

    That is the definition of trust.

    Does Barbara mean that zippers are untrustworthy on terra firma and should not be considered integral to the function of a craft on the briny sea?

      Laurna – Dunno. Mayhap. This particular zipper was integral only to the functioning of those plastic panels that they lower as translucent wind/rain screens, so there wasn’t much functional risk involved. But it did make a nice counterpoint to all those ropes.
