Port or Starboard?

Sorry bro, horrible deal. To others: OKC's HPYC lost 3 boats this weekend, an I20 and two 5.8s, due to an asshat starting a grass fire. Not much el...

I like stern first as well. I can leave the spin fully rigged and just slide it in the sail tube below the boat.

It is a '77. I believe the Harken cars weren't installed until '82. This one has the old style traveler and car, which is for sale. I have 6:1 bloc...

I've got as delaminated 5.5 boomless sail. I don't have one w/ 5.2 dimensions though.

You might find that disconnecting a trap line (from the return shock cord) and using that to hold the mast up, instead of a halyard, more secure. RSa...

I use a quick pin on the boom gooseneck and tiller connections. IIRC that's all. I use snap shackles on both ends of the main blocks. I have a larg...

The issue Wolfman was alluding to re: the quick pin is multi faceted. Quick pins are hollow. 'Helpers' are very capable of yanking a quick pin under...

Congrats!

It's not fun if it's not a little scary..

I recently went to Lowes and bought about one of each grinding tool/attachment they have. I'm going to start w/ a flapper disc in my angle grinder an...

I could probably sell a title and sails to whoever picks that up..

Ed: When I said 'older' I meant older than his. I was obviously wrong, though, as that sheet shows. I thought all the non-cb cars on cats were the s...

What do you sail again? A kayak? Or a bulkhead?

The older ones take 42.

The boat is made of polyester resin and fiberglass. Don't use CSM with epoxy.

Building your own is a far cry from designing and building your own.

To clarify a bit: Any leaks at all should be fixed in the off-season. I'm a fan of sailing first and worrying later, though, so if the leak isn't tha...

If you don't have a foam core, 'soft' doesn't apply. The few boats I've had that are solid glass, I can make shadow puppets below the hull and see th...

It likely won't get worse than that inland. Your leak could be anywhere on the hull, lots of them take in more water when turtled. I'd check the dag...

I've righted a lot of boats (we don't need to discuss 'why'), and I can tell you for certain that there's nothing wrong with a simple, knotted, righti...

i have seen at least a dozen boats sail away without captains / and crew. I have had to deliver 2 captains back to their catamarans that were sailing ...
