The cable didn't have any missing strands, and each landing in the star of the cone had a strand. I just removed a strand to make it easier to slide it up the foil and cut out the section that had...
Bay not gay, my bad. I can see how bad that looks. Trust me I don't care who your going to bed with unless it's my wife or daughter. As for a toggle up top I'd think so everything else was toggles...
Only the first few inches maybe foot had the missing strand to install the cable. The tapered part was cut off so all the strands were present for the full length of the forestay. To be more clear...
So as the title suggest this weekend my forestay snapped on me. Fortunately only my forestay was damaged. Mast is still standing tall and my brand new 2nd time out Jib is rip free. Hopefully she's...
How do you like the inReach? I just got one for work and was thinking about getting one for personal use. I was also looking at the new spot. I haven't looked at the fees for the spot.
My wife...
What is needed from the volunteers on the rocks? I've thought about volunteering for a few things in general and find myself more willing to volunteer when I know what is expected and what is my...
I've posted hi-res without issue. Things look much bigger on your phone when you're posting it.
I have used yellow brick (I found a UK device I'm assuming you're talking about) but at work we use Garmin inReach mini's they seem to do the same but are not nearly as expensive. You can also send...
I work with data radios and when lightening strikes it on takes out what isn't grounded. I've had things get struck by lightning and that one thing doesn't work everything is fine. I've heard you can...
Love where this is going. Hahaha
That's my thought just wasn't sure if that's except able
My boat doesn't have a hole for a paddle wheel. I'd rather not drill a hole for a transducer to check a box. I guess I could have a transducer on a stick. I don't understand why GPS wouldn't count. I...
I was just looking threw the safety requirements and came across section 3.7 AIS. All boats shall have an AIS Transponder. Maybe I'm miss understanding or they are using the term wrong but I though...
I'm finishing up some work on my boat. I thought I had some deck rot by the aft inner stays, and redid the non skid on the fore deck, added a bow roller, windless, moved my bow cleat from 1 center...
I understand what you are getting at this is a used market not new. I wanted to give an update that I'm now out of boats but still have 1 cooler left. This is more of a side-hustle to help pay for...

I ended going with an Alpine butterfly with a small 2" piece of webbing. Not sure how much protection it will provide but I guess I will find out. I don't think it's going to cause any hanging up...
Thanks it's labor of love. I'm 99% done with the cabin I just need to paint the traveler stand offs. Just finished the foredeck. Next is the side deck and cockpit. I'm going to be looking for some...
Thanks. The travel was originally a curved traveler. I added an aluminum beam using the factory mounting bracket. I think mid boom was an option originally. There's another 72 on my dock and it...
I have a new 110 showing up Wednesday and was wondering what you guys thought about single sheet vs double sheets. I don't plan on changing head sails often enough to consider easy of changing sails...
Definitely a beautiful boat. I see the attraction
Hahaha no. But I do take Venmo. I guess my intro was a little off. I'm new to the group and wanted to make sure I didn't offend anyone.
If this posting is not what the thread was intended for please feel free to let me know or delete/report the posting. I joined the forums to be a solo sailor, but I also have a side business of...
Thanks for the link. I don't have oil or fuel in my bildge I think the thought was if at some point you do get it in the bildge your pipe will survive, or if you are going down and there's that much...
