The Good Folks At Faribault Woolen Mill Co. Introduce The Perfect Blanket!
Long time fellow Woody Boater “Rabbit” who is at Fairbault, is announcing here on Woody Boater the newest item they make. A special Triple for you to warm up to and bring some woodyness into your home in the winter. What is so cool..warm, no cool, no warm about this blanket is that it can be used in a very very nice home and does the woody thing with some class. Then in the spring and fall be a nice warmer upper. In the summer its a prop.. Unless you live in Hessle, and fall is in July. Or New Zealand? And for sure at this years big ACBS International Show in Minn. Egh.. One always needs a blankiie! No official photos have been released yet, so the one here is all we have to show you. Stay tuned for updates and new photos. Sales start Feb 1…Yesterday – But, I have yet to see it on the website. Which you can visit HERE
Love today’s header….
I HATE today’s header! What went wrong? The hoist appears to be in the same position in both pictures.
Duh! Not being a football fan I didn’t get it. The guys are right… You are a genius.
Pete Caroll blew it on that last play…dumb…really dumb
Now the Seahawks know the pain the Green Bay Packer Fans felt, after their game.
Thank you, Woody Boater. We post new products on Mondays so it will be up on the site later this morning. The design was created by Haynes, publishers of the iconic mechanic’s manuals. It’s a “generic” triple runabout created by their technical illustrators, as unlike with cars and motorcycles they did not have rights to any specific models. It’s part of a series that also includes a vintage Land Cruiser and P-51 Mustang.
Simply brilliant header, Matt! You should be in the creative arts in some capacity.
It looks like Patriot skipper Tom Brady sliced and diced his way through the vaunted no-soak bottom of the Seahawk leaving 37 gashes and four 7″ holes. To add insult to injury, just when they got her back to the boathouse in time to save it, one of the Seahawk staff decided to try LOWERING the lift instead of raising it. Obviously it didnt end well.
Now that header is brilliant.
Outstanding Header!
By the way, the Seahawks would like you to photoshop their last play.
Who’s deflated now??
Great header(s)! Hope Tom saw these.
Great Header today! That last Seahawk play would have been noted as brilliant and gutsy had it paid off. But, as it went, the Header says it all.
That Blackie and a few more will be great (and needed) to take to Gull Lake next September. Burrrrr!
Did you wait till the end to do the header or did you do two just waiting to see which one you were going to use?
Like Al points out that was a fabulous Zero/Hero play. Had it worked Carol and the Seahawks would have been Hero’s, since it failed people see it as a Zero play. There is no real in between for that kind of call.
Verrrry creative…says it all.
This is a little off topic but did everyone catch Matt Smith on TV this weekend? Nice work Matt, when will we see a Woody boater ad on the Super Bowl?

Back to the blanket…although the design is nice, I don’t own a triple. They might want to consider a design a little simpler and right to the point. Red flag with a white star on a navy blue background would look great. I’d certainly buy a couple.
Nautilus:
That is just the kind of blanket I was hoping to see today, just don’t know if there are enough of us willing to buy them to make it profitable for Rabbit.
Loved the funny header today; especially when I clicked on the story- the Seahawk sank at her dock! NICE…(I’m from Packerland, so…)
Great ad critique on FB this morning, too, Matt: can we now assume that WoodyBoater-branded fanny packs will soon be available? 😉
When you go the fairibault website, they have a customs page- where any business can get a design done. They say the design has to be up to quality, and a minimum order- but I don’t know what the number required is.
Would sure love to see a nice cut way drawing of a Chris craft cruiser, on a blanket.
Maybe someone at woodyboater can contact them and see what the minimum number would be.
They could be offered thru woodyboater and boat buzz, or, at minimum, given as prizes at boat shows.
I bought two pink blankets from them last year- beautiful quality, and they are on my cruiser.
They are old world fine quality, like the old Chris crafts, and we need to support these industries that require hand-making skills.
To satisfy the new openness to the modern glass boats, we could have Fairibalt offer blankets made of woven fiberglass, which, I am told, are quite pretty, but itchy to sleep with.
I am going to contact them and see what their minimum number for a custom design is.
Maybe we can all become Wooly Boaters.
