: At first, I didn't like the look of the cheaters. I've seen a lot of them on
: others' boats, and now I really like the way they accentuate the upsweep
: of the stems.

I think that the best way to highlight a curve is to put it next to a straight line. The contrast of the two accentuates the curve more than having all the strips follow the curve.

But, again it is a personal preference thing.
