BTW, this is my cruising dingy, well, a sister ship anyway. I built my six footer about 10 years ago. It's tiny but it gets the job done. I use a couple of throwable pads to sit on when I am rowing. If you go with two people, pack very light. It folds up and I store it on my transom inside the pushpit rail.

Yep, stainless seizing wire is a Magma griller's best friend. Lost all three grates from my Cabo last year when I didn't have it clamped tight enough and it spun upside down with the lid unlocked. Wired the new ones together, and then one of them to the grill. Magma owes me a tri-tip and brussels sprouts, at the very least.
I preemptively bought a spare regulator, which is probably why the original has lasted so long.
p.s. if you use the 1 lb propane canisters like I do and don't have another source of propane in your life, Sports Basement will refill them, for free, forever, if you buy the refillable canister at their store!

I note that our twice-yearly cruise-ins gather a small, but not insignificant crowd. Some sail in, some drive in, but we get a dozen-plus people around the tables. I like these, because I actually get a chance to get to know people. Since going to Wednesday night race meetings in Oakland is now really impractical due to Bay Area traffic, the cruise-ins are great.
I'd like to suggest that the cruise-ins are one of the best additions to the SSS in a long time, so kudos to whoever dreamed up the idea.
But "No" to changing the SSS name! LOL
