Howzit John. I can suggest a couple cheap, effective things. Assuming you don’t have trap wires, Create two 16 inch loops of soft rope and put the...

+1 to the thicker tube, if you want to store it on wheels. I have a length and it’s incredibly strong. Not much heavier to move around. Just harder t...

Yes. It is. The issue will be fitting the trailer cradles on the round axel. The traxx cradles are designed to sit on the round tube and clamp on. ...

We put wings on an 18-2 and they are the bomb. My back is way happier and it's MUCH easier to adjust weight to balance the boat on the fly. Especial...

The iPad experience using Navionics is outstanding, especially with the sonar data. You have access to government charts too. I would use it on any m...

Balance point is usually at the shrouds, or mid-dagger, depending on how the boat is loaded, and if she has water inside. +1 to sailing her up the b...

Navionics Boating App for mobile devices has excellent "Gold" vector charts, which are downloadable and upgradable for the purposes of dock to dock tr...

Nice work Charlie. :klatsch: I already was a fan of your bad gybe wipeout videos. I have fond memories of being bucked off a 5.2 many times. In w...

"Can you fish from that thing"? "Only if the fish is REALLY fast!" 😀

Considering the warning labels, I can understand why you’d feel that way. But used as directed, this stain remover is “safe for colorfast fabrics and...

This stuff is da bomb.

Darn! Got No Pool. 🙁 If my Jacuzzi was bigger, I could really get that sucker clean!

When my sail gets, um,.. “inverted”, I lay it on a 12x20’ tarp on a sloping driveway and spray-wash it with a detergent spray wand. A big flow-throug...

Interesting. It looks like a very athletic, carbon-fiber Humpback Whale. Can’t wait to see one breach.

Damon, I have seen timeout errors with safari and iOS devices, even when the post gets through. But not right now. While that gets sorted out, I wa...

Very slow to post. 20-30 secs but no time out, Ajax or other errors.

Just a test. Using iPad. 😀

Comfy. Looks like a stretched WETA. Sorry to diverge but that was a stupid move by that Prindle. Even if the container ship was not underway, whic...

This guy has some videos of him camp cruising his Getaway. I wouldn't talk you out of it, my only concern is with your background you may not think it...

SailGP arrived in Europe this weekend with a condensed day of wild racing in "fruity" conditions (as they say there). 22-30kn winds and big chop. Th...

Solo I would go P16. Easier all around. Way easier to push uphill or right. It can still be sailed like a bat out of hell with your crew out on the w...

We "daisy chain" all the time at the sandbar. One guy up front anchors to his bridal and three or four boats will piggyback. In 2-3' of water. Most ...

The P16 is what I was thinking too. Luff is around 190"

I’m surprised no one is using spare tell tales for this.

Beta Tape is Better. :boxen: John - I haven't been able to figure out how to mount a wind vane with the Harken Roller. Or a good way to mount a G...

Fiberglass makes sense, assuming it degrades slower in pacific marine environments than the other materials. Rubber, glues and leather don’t last lo...
