Boat cards seem kinda silly to me.
But on a related thought I submitted a long time ago that we shouldn't have pics of our boats in the avatar but pics of ourselves. Not our dogs, cats, wives or girlfriends. Just a portrait sized picture of ourselves.
Few bought into it. It must be because this is an internet forum w huge numbers of lurkers. Many members come from those ranks. Most here are in some way hiding from whatever and want to keep their social footprint low. The same force that drives people to have "usernames". Usernames are frequently long and the caps aren't where they are supposed to be ect. Hard to address people by such a name. I frequently have to go back and check for spelling and what's in caps. Troublesome. I wish more people would make up a name like Bob Z.
Anyway the boat cards are kindof an old persom thing and many are not happy about how they look. But personality is a large part of who we are and the personal pics would be a fine change IMO.
And if one needs cards the people (w wife's and girlfriends in this case) should be the focus of the graphics ... people or person big and boat listed or small in a picture.
For years I related to Marin from/via a picture of his boat. Never saw a picture of him ... at least not a decient one. Saw one of his wife and it was a good one, shot through the PH windows but told much about her personality. She was in command and aware.
