Fellow Motorheads,

Are any of you multi-talented sorts, being Sailors as well ?  I mean 
sailors of real wind-driven, rope-rigged boats, not the local Bass & Beer
type.

Aren't Cat-heads some piece of tackle for the rigging, like a block-and-
tackle or something similar ?  ... meaning something you wouldn't want to
get your fingers into by mistake ?  Is that where the name comes from ?
Seems I remember that from the literature...not Bentley, Moby Dick !
Inquiring minds still wanna know !

Call me Ishmael...
