Capt K, a little bird told me....

Probably best to keep the bees in a area where any wind blowing wouldn't tick them off?

Probably best to keep them near the exit in the cabin. Or in the cockpit under a dodger. So that the hive wouldn't get all wet for the waves and rain!!

CaptainK once whispered in the wind:
Hey coyote.

I never seen a expresso maker like that before. How much does it make at a time. One cup?

Yes, it's a one cup operation. You set the cup right on top and it fills from the brass tube you see. It's pretty fast, so you can make a couple of cups right away. It's a GSI product. I think they make a stainless steel model also, around $20.

Nice coyote.

Wouldn't be bad to have around!!

Are you absolutely sure that the website/store "Catalina Direct" has those special life rail stanchions, on their website?

I looked that thing over, and over. It really didn't mention anything about "that" specific item. But they did mention a certain other type of replacement stanchion, with a curve in it. Could that be the one you could be talking about.

And another thing. How many of them do you think I would need. I would go and count them myself. But I'm in Arizona right now. And my boat is tied up in Moss Landing, California. I'm over 700 miles away from my boat!!

Any help with the Catalina 27 stanchion positioning post spots. And the amount of them that are needed would be very appriciated!!

Congrats CaptainK. I hope your boat treats you well and that you have much fun and adventure aboard her.

[CaptainK]

Thanks Weyalan.

I love my boat. Just got her a couple of weeks ago.

Kai Nui helped me out in getting this boat. He knew the owner of the boat. And the owner wanted out of sailing. And put the boat up for sale.

And I ended up getting her myself!!

Thanks!!

rsn48 or anyone knowledgeable about Catalina 27's?

Does anyone knows how many stanchion posts are there on the deck edge of a Catalina 27?

rsn48 mentioned about this site http://www.catalinadirect.com/ and mentioned that they have special stanchions that would give you more walking space around the cabin along the deck edge area?

If anyone has any info. I would appriciate that very much. I will continue to research this on my end.

I will count the ones on the boat over on death row tomorrow. I think there are 4 on each sude.

[CaptainK]

Thanks Kai !!

I found these stachions at the Catalina Direct site. They have two models - 10 degrees out and 6 degrees out (which is on the second page). Hope the link works, I'll check it out.
