I don't suppose anybody here would have some pictures of their bow and/or their anchor roller?

I don't know if this will help but here ya go.........

Got mine here, I am sure many places sell it and I am not sure regular indoor outdoor carpet would not be just as good..........my bunks are 2X6

heck she's given me so much pleasure and adventure that the cost has become irrelevant. Even doing all the work myself the cost, to me, was astronomical but the education and satisfaction of doing it myself "Priceless"

hallelujah brother say it again..................

Like a diss

Very nice

St. Johns is where I sail but it is pretty big over 2 miles in some places

Now I am jealous...makes me want to charge up my glider and hit the field. I have come close to buying a RC sailboat but my real one seems to constantly drain the treasury. My Super Skybolt 2 has not seen the sky in ten years (needs a new motor)and my f4U Corsair lays half finished. Just not enough ...

Look closely and you will see them both, the keel pin bracket is just camouflaged a little bit at the bottom

It could be the shackle or fitting jammed in the cable thru hull or if the keel is rusting the rust can expand and jamb it in place.

FYI The upper fitting is the locking bolt for the keel, looks like they just sealed it up. Mine was nothing but rust and I removed it. Also the plywood backing in this area was rotted on mine you should check it out as well. No water is good and I have to tell you I was surprised not to see any when...

Just for the record I'm game for where ever

Mine starts up as soon as I start moving pretty quickly and climbs in pitch as I speed up...probably about 3 kts or so. As to the previous question I don't think the Cunningham is of much use on this size main when fully raised because you can easily tighten up the luff with the main halyard. I run ...

Also I just remembered you asking how I kept the base of the mast in the mast step while setting up so here it is

Looking at this picture with the mast ready to step it is about where the white spreader guard is.

Here is another place, I think they rent slips nightly as well. I am thinking of an early October trip over the weekend.

Well I sure appreciate the kind words and they could all be said about Micheal and everyone I have corresponded with on this forum. I enjoyed the trip and it really did not seem like the 12 hour trip it was. He showed great patience as well because as my wife, children and anyone who has worked with...

Good point if the wire/cable has cut through the thru hull then it could create a really weird leak. Time to replace it, last thing you want is water penetrating into the fiberglass structure and rotting it inside out.

Lengthening the hose will stop the leak if you have the room vertically to do it.

My next anchor will be adding a Manson Supreme as my main anchor and then keep one of my Danforths as back up or secondary if I need it.

My Dansforth is 15# I think and I have no problem getting a good hold in the muddy bottom of the St. Johns. Definitely sounds to light. I have about as much chain as you do but a little more can't hurt.

I can give you a hand if you need it just stop by on the way down and pick me up. Also I can bring my mast stepping gear if needed.

Bungee cords for securing all the lines to the mast and the mast to the boat

There should be some sort of grill though to keep the critters at bay. I finally swapped mine out for thru hulls with flappers to reduce the water coming in when I am backing out of the ramp. Though not water tight they do reduce how much water gets in the space. Even so there is always some in ther...

One of the tabs at the end of my broom had broke off and it made hooking up the outhaul and topping lift cluttered. I cut the remaining tab off and replaced it with this.

I had a "B" set off an old mast that I just modified to use as a out-haul bracket on my boom. I have the "A"' bracket on my c-22 mast.

You can get the spreader brackets here http://www.dwyermast.com/items.asp?cat1 ... Airfoil%29

How dare those animals benefit from man's pillaging of the earth....shame on them.

I scraped mine and still had to sand it to get the remaining primer off completely so once you have gone that far and done all that work painting is really not that much trouble. I used a two part epoxy from interlux without any defowling because I don't leave mine in the water either. I think if yo...

The short story,

"The Wind From the Sun" by Arther C Clark

Well you would have to scrape it off in either case but I think when it is all done you will probably want to paint anyways because the scaping will do some damage to the gel coat. You can paint using the roll and tip method with excellent results if afterwards you decide it needs painting. Emergenc...

The urge to hit the water is strong and the desire for self preservation is weakening........perhaps if the weather is not to threatening.......................................
