Yachting America

Lleh asked:


I know this sonds crazy but I need if for a scene in a play. The people are restoring an old sailing yacht outside and a storm comes up. Nobody wants to quit working so they grab things and bring them into the banquet room of the mansion. The effect should be shocking as in Oh my god you can’t bring THAT into the dining room. A whole mast would probably be to big but other than that, anything that can be worked on separate from the boat would be good. Maybe part of the engine. Maybe something that needs to be sanded or painted. Suggestions?
Gad. Where’s Nyctugcapt or Scienceteacher when I need them?
