Rudder on or off on my Venture 15 is simple. Since they are bolted on and have shim washers on each side and a lifting lever ? bolted on top. Bolts ho...

Can't view the pics. Permission needed. Sounds like a good idea though.

Got a set of cleated blocks and a double block for my jib. I just had a single line from the jib to cleats on the front beam before.

I didn't mean to hijack the thread but thanks davefarmer for the instructions. I work building things out of aluminum every day. Although I have figur...

How long is the pole on the E-Z mast stepper?

There should be a 3/8 inch by 5 or 6 inch bolt that goes sideways through the mast and the part on the cat. The post should line up automatically when...

I have a Venture 15 also. I have straight hulls though. I just got it sailing this summer. In non sailing terms. Connect the cables on the right and l...
