Hi Bob, LD here. I'm not an expert by any means but there are a couple of things to consider. First, the age of the original wood. Older boats often have wood that's basically rain forest timber...
I'm selling my beloved 11-ft Spindrift nesting dinghy - learn more at https://bandbyachtdesigns.com/spindrift. I built Blue Moon about 13 years ago and it's traveled with us from Alaska to Mexico. It...
For me it's about self reliance. I really enjoy the feeling I get from completing a project by myself. A solo sail is a big "project" -- even a daysail gives me a feeling of accomplishment. And then...

One of my favorite memories of the 2008 SHTP--and trust me, there were many--was when Skip Allen and Wildflower escorted me into Hanalei Bay. In fact, if memory serves, he met every...
Because of my history with Dave King I knew they would have gotten there. They did. I think Dave took four and some of the other big boats took some.
Hey Bob, I'm chuckling at your confusion because it's a confusing subject. Here is a little online calculator that may help: http://www.ohmslawcalculator.com/ohms-law-calculator For solar panels,...
Hey Bob, I was going over Surprise's updated energy budget. It looks like you've got about 48 hours before you NEED to charge. I think if you were willing to put up with running the engine every day...
Or this...
To clarify, my generator idea was in response to Bpb's desire to not invest the time, effort and cost of installing a big solar system he'd use once and then store in his garage. Over years of using...
Jackie, we had a great trip up Snodgrass a few years ago. Took the skiff all the way to I-5. We were the only ones at The Meadows.
If you can find the CM-93 chart pac, it has all the charts of the world. I have two versions. Anyone that wants them I can copy.

I have a Dacron hank-on storm jib for sale. It sailed to Hawaii & back with me in 2008, with Gary Gould on Pakele in 2010, and has been sitting in storage ever since. It's in absolutely terrific...
LD here. We're looking forward to dinner soon! With our 'little' boat in the Bay Area, we drive up about once a month. Sounds like it's time for a drive up the beach instead of stinky I-5. But tell...
Hi Skip,
Hal and Margret Roth were and are my hero's. While some in my group really idolized Lin & Larry, and the go simple ethos, I felt more of a connection to the Roths, and the way they...
What I remember about the 94' race is that Reed Overshiner sailed a IMF to HI in two weeks. That has to be a record for a Folkboat.
Jackie, you are a treasure to our group. Thank you.
LaDonna and I really enjoy reading your 'blog', Skip. Every time I open the SSS site and this thread is highlighted, I click on it first to see what's new with you. We really enjoy hearing about your...
Anchor down in Clipper Cove. Did we have a working channel for tomorrow morning?
I will be in Clipper by sundown, just come over and raft, no matter the time.
...oh, way up there off of the Berkley pier, I will have to spend the night in Clipper to make it by 10a. Anybody want to raft?
