This makes sense, except they were along most of the hull length, from the
cockpit to the the end of the cabin top at least, spaced every 16-18" or
so. Reminded me of what I see on some of my neighbours houses in the
winter, when the studs show through with heat loss patterns. I don't think
it was this, unless he had his heater cranked inside! Next time I see him I
will ask; I've talked to him a few times, as he does sail training and
cruises from the boat.
