Just hoping it's a good game!

unfortunately it is near the end of the picts and Flickr doesn't let me share one pict at a time here...

Happy day Captain Scotty!

I removed mine.... Cut the bedding cuz the foam was wet and the bulge split the rotting wood. Bill is right, but you could use sn electric bread knife to cut away enough to get the acces you need... but the stern inspection ports may still be needed for the backstay and make it an easier access. I r...

What a great way ro see the tall ships!

Excellant

Thanks for sharing!

Brian, Glad to hear you're on the mend! Always respected your skills here and thanks for sharing... Had put off my colonoscopy for 5 yrs and finally had it done last month. FYI the prep is the worst part... and thanks to meds I recall double vision then waking up and it was over! Colon CA is one of ...

We got it out!

It was tight, barely got the sling under the keel... had to lower the mast first while in the slip and with good winds I was a bit anxious.

But she sits tonight at home. Will clean her up then into the shop for the winter and some minor work.

Thanks again for the help!

Billy

Update :D Well no power slips available, but talked w/ the marina owner and we will be able to lift the boat out on monday!! Thanks to the swing keel and rudder, and the weight of the boat, the crane should ab able to get it out. I tried to look at our specs & manuals pages but there was nothing...

Thanks for the help! I don't have a bilge pump, never have :shock: Looks like I'll be putting one in with solar charger and fan...maybe see if I can move to a slip with power for the winter. Took home a truckload of stuff and still need to tarp and take the outboard off. Hope to do that early next w...

Hey All Went to pull our C-22 out of the water for winter and found the lake is at the lowest level in 10 yrs! We can't get it out and it will be wintering on the water for the first time. Pulled most stuff off and will be getting the motor and tarping it tomorrow. I don't have power at the slip. An...

Had the day off and was able to watch at home on the big screen.

Congrats to Oracle Team USA! Nicely done and exiting to watch

Have Garelick on mine : )

We have WM coastal types... Like Capt Scott said, they are more comfortable and we do wear them more because of it. We still have a couple older waterski type vests which are warmer in the spring and fall and wear them under our windbreakers. Guess I would be more worried bout getting whacked by the...

Wow... FWIW... I just had to re-arm both of ours. They do expire... and should be replaced every 3 yrs on our make. Ours didn't get wet. Arrived at boat to sail an found one on cabin floor inflated. The other went off when getting ready to sail solo. It was in tha cabin and sun was shining on it whe...

Welcome!

Now's the time to pull off the hardware and rebed... butyl tape works well... windows are another source for leaks... check them, but if ok leave them for now and do the other stuff first : )

As always. .. nice picts!

Victoria BC is always nice to see!

Very nicely done!

Nice n quick, cool!

I was told for the v-birth to fit the angle along the hull with the thicker foam to use an electric cutting knife... wouldn't tell the redhead tho.

Amazing!

Would love to have a smaller version just for fun!

Sounds like a great time!

Ditto on the picts

Hello the Forum!! Pam & I went out for short "3 hour tour" a week ago,,, Winds were 5-15 with gusts to 40... We mounted a GoPro camera on a whisker pole just for fun... It tuned out be a distraction as it was always flipping around. It was our first breezy, gusty day this year and we w...

Congrats!

Sounds like a great start tomore good times to come!

Billy

Thanks Bill!

Know what ya mean by getting it figured out by the last window. Like how you share what works an what didn't. Seriously thinking of doing this to my project boat and this is very useful info!

Billy

Thanks Bruce! So yea it's tight in there, but you could get in there and cut out any bad wood, dry it out as best you can... then glass in some new wood. Goes without saying to stop where the water is getting in, ie sealing the hardware up top. I would imagine the foam is waterlogged too. I know fol...

Adam that bytes!

The link is to a product that may help. Sounds like a no fun job to take out and replace then reglass!

Been busy gettin organized an putting casters on my work benches and some shelving in to free up work space. Wish I'd don...

Glad to hear you had a great time! Alone time is a valuable thing have ; )

Nice tender you have there... does it have a drop down centerboard?

Nice!

Like the scuppers. Where did you get them an curious what the back side looks like. Did you modify the backside at all??

Billy

Hope you had a great day Bill
