I love it! Thx Bob. The problem with two boats is one's always ready to go! (more or less) Was out in the DS2 Thursday with our Creekfleet when our little fleets commodore's husband (who owns a small sailboat shop) sold me on the benifits and ease of a vinylester repair. Got the stuff Friday and was...

Very nice boat and welcome aboard Cactupuss! We have several Mutts in our CreekFleet and they're little beauties. Built like tanks too, the Chrysler way! I'd use (and do use) Liquid Glass. I applied two coats to a very oxidized bright yellow '79 O'Day Widgeon and an oxidized to baby powder blue '71 ...

It's about feeling comfy in your own skin. If ya look good, ya feel good. It sounds like you got her lookin'n pretty good! ... I always use the main. It feels more controlled to me, easier to dump and recover in the wind. I hear that reefing is a good thing too, but I haven't tried that yet :oops: ....

Forgot all about this: last September, I posted a question regarding the purpose of a certain bolt in my hull, I surmised it was probably the remnants of a speedo and left it be. http://i1199.photobucket.com/albums/aa465/cs3079/QuestionBolt2.jpg Mariner had another guess: mariner Joined: 21 Aug 2008...

Thanks again for all the comments and suggestions. I got some ideas about how to approach this from each of you! Now it's time to get off my big butt and do some preliminary investigation for myself, LOL! Anticipating what was sealed inside the C20 for 34 years was like waiting to see what was insid...

She's a beauty Scott! I love to see these old Chrysler's brought back to glory. Dang, makes me wish I'd kept my '74 Charger! BTW: Love the C20 in the background. Add the 26 and you'd have a most exquisite privacy fence! Myself, I'd love to put in a horseshoe driveway, just think of the possibilities...

Thnks Capn'n B, Doh!, never thought of that! There's a large area sealed off right about where the weeping is occurring. I've pumped a lot of rainwater out of the storage and front keel bilge areas since I've owned her and this isn't a new issue. (Has anyone been in there?) Time to get the sabre saw...

Hey!, That looks like my trailer Bob! :lol: Anyway, I tried to give it a go. I'm no engineer... but I did take a drafting class in junior high. LMAO. Here's a link to some more pics and measurements. The OEM trailer measurements are not so straight forward, but they're a wonderful fit. http://s1199....

...but really, trim the jib in :D Thx, Cap'n B. , Looking back at the vids, there's a lot of genoa flapping a lot of the time. This year I'm going to concentrate more on sailing right.

Thanks Bob, and you're right about that! What a riot once we got things underway. The commotion at the beginning of the vid was my nephew grabbing the boom so I could hook up the forgotten main sheet....doh! Even with all the errors made, this was by far the best sail I've ever experienced! I hope t...

I'm not as think as you drunk I am. Believe it or not, I actually had only one beer while out there. Hubbard Lk is well patrolled, esp on holiday weekends. It was the first time on a big lake... and with a brisk breeze. Even with all that breeze though, the boat never once felt out of control (unti...
