Sailors' beards

[Koeketiene]

Is it the socially acceptable in yachting circles to have a beard which has 'faded'?

Yes - though mine doesn't go white or grey, but 'silver' in a Sean Connery kind of way.

We have one male member who dies his hair jet black - and everyone laughs behind his back. So unless you are going to become a hermit or dye your hair, you dont have much choice.

Velcro is contra-indicated!!

Also applies to boiler suits and hairy chested matelots - don't ask.

Kind of you to add a pic of your own fine beard, & it's very impressive, DW. But it might be a good idea to get something done about your ears.
