Eyebrows
     
  To have Eyebrows or not?  That is the question.  Well eyerbows on newer sail boats don't exist and on older GF (glass fiber) boats they are redundent.  The original purpose was to keep any running water away from the port holes.  Since the newer port holes have built in drainage systems the eyebrow no longer serves any purpose excet it looks good!  Hence I have removed the eyebrows from either side of the cabin top.  This also gets rid of on any change of leakes from the many screws holding the eyebrow in place.  They were also made of teak which needed constent maintenance and upkeeping.  Mine were showing there age and getting almost too thin to varnish anymore, the screw stops were starting to fall out.  
     
     
  No more eyebrows means no more leaks and no more varnishing of this thin piece of teak which was a real pain every 6 months or so!  Again, it also gives Mouse Pad a more sleek and modery look with cleaner lines.
