Sorry to hear of his passing, Greg. I didn't know George, but had heard of his name. It sounds like he lived a very interesting life.

Hey Cliff! So glad I decided after months away to pop in here and see what's going on. My Pac Cup crew will heading to Berkeley Marine Center this Saturday at 10:30 to weigh Kynntana and then we are...

Hey, which company did you use? I need to look into this for PacCup and back.

Hmmmm. What happened to the Freedom 38?

Still, a very nice compilation, Bill :)

How does one know whether the rating is affected by the type of spinnaker or even the presence of one? My current rating says "no" on both symmetric or asymmetric/cruising spinnaker.

Oh my. Aint no such thing as a free boat.....

The reducer is 16-33% and then there's an accelerator that helps pop the bubbles so (theoretically) I shouldn't have to tip after rolling. Will wait to do that tomorrow. Today, I'm focusing on fixing...

Chris, this is EXACTLY the same process on Kynntana and using the same product. How much did you thin the topcoat? I've been using 12% on the primer, which has been working great but thinking I might...

The first coat of primer went on and I was not a happy camper. It looked horrible. Then the second coat went on, and I could finally start to relax that maybe this won't look like hell after all. I...

OMG, that's amazing! I'd heard you changed Fugu's color, which I had always liked but that green is gorgeous. What paint did you use? Did you spray or roll/tip?

Wow, and just like that, it's done! What was the decision the boot strip? I'm partial to a two-tone blue and aquamarine.

Another reason is the non-skid as Jackie mentioned. I've learned so much about how boats are formed with certain non-skid patterns while in their mold. K's is one of the most common ones though I...

So after 3 solid weekends of reaming through-holes in my cored deck, filling with epoxy, cleaning up the cabin from dripping epoxy from the holes that I'd missed taping, refilling holes with epoxy...

A "mankini." That's my new word of the day :)

Dang. So sorry to hear what happened but glad to hear you were OK. Boats can be fixed, skulls - not so well! Hope you're back out sailing again soon.

Ha, thank you Jackie for the shout out. I really appreciate your enthusiasm and the hours of sanding support.

You know, those LEDs are really to add ambiance for the stripper pole that was...

This thread is one symptom of the reason I'm moving away from the SSS and planning on doing other things. I'll keep in touch with those I consider friends but the closed-minded mentality that leads...

Um, nope. I have Corian countertops, a water heater and a stripper pole. I think you meant Johnston, not Johnson. He probably has a jacuzzi on that amazingly beautiful yacht of his.

Did y'all see this?

I'm in!

BMC is where I have been taking Kynntana to do my own work for the past 4 years, but you need to schedule DIY projects at least 6 months out. Word has gotten out. All the folks who work at BMC are...

Criminy, that was easy :) Thank you, Rob!

Geez, I hope it wasn't an attempted hacker attack!

I hereby annoint you all Grand Poobahs of the 2020 SHTP web site / forum / thingee majeeze. Let's make it happen :)

Hi Sam, it's Carliane your friendly webmaster. I hope my compatriots will give you a tip or two for starting your new sailing life in the Bay area. They tend to be a shy bunch at first but warm up...
