Re: AGM vs Flooded House batteries

Solar panels like sailors get old and they produce less efficiently, I had them in service for about ten years and they were collectively rated at 210 W 70 per panel, I think before pulling them they...

Re: Jeanneau drop keel stuck

Have you thought about lifting the boat from the stern while on the trailer, lower the tongue to the ground and set a support as far forward as you can then raise the tongue. It should give you room...

Re: Vessel Documenting Web Sites Scam

Yes, but if you are buying with a lender they often times require the use of a third party although most people are quite capable of filling out the forms themselves. I almost got scammed on the...

Re: Best GYBE Preventer ?

Where Hunter used B & R rigs exclusively there is always a lesser limit to letting the sail out downwind with no backstay. The spreaders and lowers are aft of the mast so accidental gybing is even...
