Rainier in the background. - [SLY Logo Forepeak Door](https://sailingsly.com/sly-logo-forepeak-door/) - The boat originally has no forepeak door – just a rounded-cornered triangle opening to the cavernous forepeak. Kate has never liked this dark void and the empty hole freaked her out. It was pretty unsightly. Oh well, time to buy more tools! First, this space needed a logo. I know just the guy... ;) With - [Family Pizza Party](https://sailingsly.com/family-pizza-party/) - The kids don't really care to sail, but we all love meeting up on the boat with some pizza.
