I've been giving a lot of thought to converting mine to manual only operation. Some are recommending this after last year's Chicago-Mackinac disaster. It seems the sudden buoyancy may have contributed to trapping some sailors under a capsized boat. In addition, as you experienced, rain or a wave can...

If you're using the roll and tip method, try to pick a non-windy day. I had issues with wind drying the surface before it could completely flow out. Other than that, it's really pretty straight forward. Sand and prep according to instructions, mask well, and always keep a wet edge to avoid getting r...

Copacetic has turning blocks at the mast and on the cabin top, bringing halyards, reefing line and topping lift back to rope clutches on the aft cabin top, two each side. I can find some pictures if you need them. Although I don't need winches for my halyards, if I did the lines would easily reach t...

Moving On Up!
I made a verbal agreement to purchase a bigger boat last night. It's a Columbia 9.6 in very sound condition but needs some TLC and updates. We plan to sail her across the lake, Holland, MI to Racine, WI in a little over a week if the weather man is agreeable. Copacetic will be for sale shortly, I ju...

I use one of these at the tack and another at the head. I also have a short line that I keep on the tack of each sail because I like them better about 9" off the deck.

Me and the Chicago-Mackinac Race
Ok, I wasn't really in the race, but, I was briefly sailing among the fleet. After dropping my daughter off to catch the train in Kenosha we saw the fleet out on the lake and decided we could back to Racine in time to intercept them. We intercepted a couple miles off Wind Point. We were careful not ...
