Marissa and Chris Swap their Toe Rail for a Bulwark
By John Arndt | February 12, 2021 | San Francisco Bay Area | 2
Chris Neely grew up in a sailing family surrounded by small daysailers, as well as his family’s Mason 43 Sea Castle, which was berthed in Berkeley for 28 years. In high school, Chris convinced Marissa to crew for him in the annual High Sierra Regatta on Huntington Lake. They’ve now been together for a decade, got married, and live aboard Avocet, a Cheoy Lee 41 they’ve been refitting. Marissa wrote in about their recent project replacing the toe rail with a bulwark, and we published her story in the February issue of Latitude 38. But as is often the case, there wasn’t enough room to include all the photos Marissa sent us to accompany the story. So we decided to share some of the extra photos with you here.
Read the full story of Avocet‘s new bulwark in February’s Latitude 38.
