I had big issues as well, but I note that the person who bought my Pelagic installed the software updates and apparently has been using the unit just fine for almost two years.

Whatever the case,...

I was given these for my last boat and never got around to mounting them. Good luck finding spare parts, but they turn and go clicky-click now, with a disassembly and cleaning I'm sure they'll be...

It's worth considering that drogues work by slowing the boat down. A LOT.

I was on board Surprise! when Bob J tested drogues at the 2020 self-steering seminar. Bob is a good sailor, he's got a...

My thinking on e-rudders is strongly influenced by being on the 2008 race, where Ruben Gabriel lost his mast about 800 miles out from Hawaii. I want to have solutions on the boat...options...I'm not...

We're in Morro Bay for the annual Foote family post-Christmas get-together. We spent yesterday morning hiking along the beach/bluffs at Montana del Oro state park.

Views of the barber hauler system. The structure under the deck is probably way overkill, but I had all the materials so the whole thing cost me $30 for the two Ronstan - through-deck fittings. I...

I was out for a nice sunday afternoon sail and came across BlackJack and his handsome Dame, Lively Lady, out for a solo spin on a pretty, but chilly day.

I hope you're keeping Mssr Bedard apprized of your progress!

When i get around to building the Caravelle, it will be nothing as exotic as your RoG!

Are both hoists at Brickyard out? I guess your boat weighs more than the second hoists rating?

Alpha is signed up for the IYC's midwinters on the Estuary. I had to miss the first one....symphony tickets...but will be out for the rest of them. I ran into an interesting problem. The spinnaker...

It took me a moment to process what I was seeing, there...

Great shot!

That's a sobering list of "denied entry" stories, Skip.

you've been busy...

I missed the "turning over"!! SWEET!

The waves stayed down for the memorial, but piped up to a nice 17 knots for the sail back to Richmond.

Ben Mewes memorial gathering was yesterday at the Richmond YC. The SSS was well represented. In the morning, about 8 boats went out to Southampton Shoal and threw flowers on the water while Lucie...

If anybody is itching for a pretty, classic looking meter boat but can't quite bring themselves to maintain a wood six-meter, I have a line on of these "for free" in Oxnard! She needs "some work"....

Someone is having fun!

I'm just back from 20 days in Scotland, where in addition to visiting places I daydream about moving to, Joan and I hiked in Glen Etive, Glen Coe, Loch Rannoch, The Quiraing on the Isle of Skye and...

Fun! Sleddog getting back to his small boat One Design roots!
