I believe that is something only Gozer the Gozarian could have come up with!

This doesn't really answer your question but there are quite a few good tools and articles on videohelp.com. I haven't done any editing for my GoPro...

You really want to try and mount it to a solid platform. Anything that moves (i.e. Rudders and boom) are likely to give you poor results. The headca...

If it is the green/white oxidation and you test the grommets and they are secure and solid you can probably get away with cleaning the corrosion off. ...

If you get yourself a GoPro Hero you can purchase all kinds of mounts for it. I love mine. The most ideal place for a camera is actually centered fa...

You can probably make a continuous line for the double trap and do as you say. Just make sure you have at least double the strength you need because ...

Wow, that is only a 6-7 hour drive from me (unlike everywhere else in the world). If it was a full boat and didn't need a months worth of repair on t...

I really like the Myerchin Titanium T377 br /> German steel blade, titanium handle, shackle key and marlinspike. The non-serrated blade is easie...

I agree, you do not want to get too far into it in the age of cheap GPS equipment. It's a slippery slope to learning about UTM versus non-projected c...

I replaced my set of the ones you have with Oxens, I've never looked back. If you want another set like your old ones I could sell you my spares. ...

Yeah, if it were a hard to find stayed mast in good shape you could sleeve it and repair with rivets and sealant (no welding required) but you would s...

Just got my OTB SAR boots in the mail today. Man, those Navy Seals wear some comfy sticky boots!! Can't wait to try them out on the boat!

Fix the boat, drink beer, and macrame... In the winter we just drink beer.

I like having the pivmatics for extra peace of mind, but I don't count on them. Overall I'm more worried about hitting something with the daggerboard...

I don't have mine handy to measure but that sounds about right. The 5.7 is almost 2 feet longer than the 5.2 and the 5.2 tramp is notoriously cramped...

I find my feet don't have enough grip. 🙂 And there are way too many things in the boat that leave bite marks on feet and ankles. Finally got fed up...

Unfortunately I've done that drive, twice. I would rather pay for the shipping, than lose another 8 days of my life (there and back). Especially tow...

I'm seriously considering the OTB SAR Boots, it its good enough for the Navy Seals... br /> I normally wear my Warmers Ankle Boots and love them.

OH MAN! Let me know how it goes! I will fly down to the Big Smoke just for a chance to ride on that thing!! I am supposed to be making regular trip...

Thanks Coastrat, its been a very busy fall. I pulled my boat out 6 weeks ago and have been all over the map since. I'm also slowing down on here aft...

The furler is really nice to have, you can really reduce sail area when needed and if you get stuck in a tack you can unfurl. If you put a little ext...

I also think a smaller jib would do the trick better. That's basically what they did to all the Nacra's when they went from overlapping tramp mounted...

Thanks EC! The daggers will be handy to have and hopefully will get me started building my own (and other peoples)!! If I get a production run going...

EC, I've been flying around the North recently so haven't been on the forums much. Thanks for the photos!!! I have to repair the stringer in m...

You are going to have to take the mast down sometime. Might as well save up a few chores and do them all at once. I just used spur grommets on mine ...

I agree with Golfdad here. As long as the old ball and castings are in good shape it isn't absolutely necessary. One caveat though, when stepping th...

Hobie 16 would be a good choice also!

Hmm find a cheap one, cut the binding off and run it through a scanner. But don't tell Rick, he would absolutely shit.

EC, I'm pretty sure you got er right. Once your were headed down the steep wave and stuffed the bow into the next 2 it was too late to do much. ...

Wow, the previous owner of my boat actually cut a big hole through one of the forward bulkheads (probably to repair a beam bolt)! I forgot about it u...
