At this point Island Crane would like me to be the Point-of-Contact coordinate for the loading of our boats. I am glad to do. It make sense and it will be cheaper to load as many of our boats on...

I had been planning on sailing the SHF Race as part of my SHTP training. A Bay race just will not do. My plan was to use this race to test boat modifications, my physical conditioning and just...
I'm in. Need to get more pre-SSS Transpac ocean time...testing new equipment/fixes.

It's time for finishing my food...
I recently (today) finished my SSB installation and need to test it. In addition, I have no clue how to operate this radio. Is there a SSB person who can walk me through it and who I can attempt to...
I am thinking of buying an ICOM 710 SSB on eBay. Does anyone know this unit? Will it do the trick (assuming it is in good working condition)?

I contacted Matson (Tony-888.362.8766). They will ship a trailer from Oakland (Terminal #1, I think), and deliver it to Honolulu and deliver boat and trailer back to Terminal 1. They leave Oakland...
I will be installing a SSB on an Express 27. I am wondering about a ground plane. I do not want to put plates outside my hull. My keel bolts are readily accessible, but my keel is fully...

Greg,
I have an Express 27 and I'm using a Raymarine S1 (g) computer and a ST4000 ram (with a spare). My initial setup was an S1 computer but it couldn't handle following seas and nor my going...

I'd like to request an inspection from Rob.
Rob,
Any weekday afternoon from the the 16th on. Let me know when it's convenient.
Thanks.

I just bought a receiver that receives both A and B signals. It works well in the Bay. I bought the one Bob reccomended (from the UK).
George/TAZ!!
The race instructions require a non-octahedral reflector to have at least a 10 meters squared radar cross section. The 2" dia Mobri reflectors only have 2 meters squared cross section and the 4" dia...
I'm going to join the fleet this year.. Its my time.
What's the deal with Duxbury?
George/TAZ!!
I'd like to begin the discussion of allowing high tech lifelines (eg. Spectra). Various fleets (recently the Express 27) are allowing it. They are certainly strong enough, they are easy to replace...
Is the AIS unit still available? What exactly are you selling?
Thanks ,George
