In reply to Alexander_Ball. Just occurred to me: maybe he's got a sideline in smuggling.

Of course. He’ll need plenty of seamen.

In reply to Daphne Caruana Galizia. Can I make a joke about Franco and seamen?

In reply to Someone. Usage, not superstition.

In reply to Daphne Caruana Galizia. Maybe you regard it is an archaic superstition, but I won't be the one starting to disregard superstitions around boats.

Not anymore. That usage is now archaic and pretentiously try-hard.

That boat is a mess.

It badly needs some polish. Look at the dirt/rust between the winch and the anchor.

And can’t Franco Debono afford a stainless steel chain instead of that unsightly rusty one?

The rub-rail must have been coming off and someone just riveted it back on instead of replacing it.

Normally, the rivets or screws should be below the rubber so as not to be subject to the impact which would transfer to the underlying fibreglass.

Insomma, bowt tal-habba gozz bhal sidu.
