General/Off-Topic / life lines

The Life lines are fine they are a help when things Pipe up, and get a bit hectic, your already ripping them off the boat and you haven't even made a offer Geez!:)

no trailer, and The life lines came with the boat , I had a new jib made  high cut similar to the ratsey one that came with the boat. after sailing with the current life lines  I rather like them.

Technical / painting Madras commander 272

I used awlgrip and had a pro do it , hull and topsides $3500 for everything including materials , it looks fantastic!  I painted the  bottom including barrier coat myself, thats where i belong where no one can see my work, it was brushed on the hull and sprayed on the deck. light blue with a little extra color on the hull, decks white and non skid bluewhite for contrast, I can't say enough for the pro painter  , at the dock or on the water always compliments, for me worth every penny. I posted a few pics when it was in the yard , if you like i can take a few more at the dock.

Hello I Own Hull #272 Commander, Just Had Her Painted This Summer  With Awlgrip Lt. Blue And And A Bit More Tint To Brighten Up The Color A Bit, It Looks Great Anfd I Feel The Awlgrip Is The Superior Product Over The Long Haul , I Paid $1500 To Have It Applied, It Was Brushed And It Looks Beautiful, From A Foot Or A Inch Away, But It Was Done By A Professional, I Know I Never Could Have Achieved The Same Look, The Decks Are White And The Nonskid ,bluewhite For Contrast , Witha Red Boot Stripe  And Fresh Varnish She Is A Real Head Turner.
  I Put Up A Few Photos When It Was In The Yard, I Will Add A Few In The Water. Recards, Cbs

Having recently put comander #272 back in the water  after  a total refitt I want to add some more sails, mast  has a track and eye for spinnaker, but no pole  , my question is did thre comander/Ariel, originally come with a wood pole? if not what is the right pole for these boats.
                  thanks cbs

thanks commanderpete, I will send some more pics along , I started with stock Awlgrip light blue and thought it looked washed out , added a little more blue, too bright, and settled for version you see on the boat now, I think it looks great and in keeping with the vintage of the boat,
  The deck is in insignia white and the non skid in a contrast blue tone white
