Re: Conversion ex-charter heads

Sealing the seacock? Surely not.

I may have misunderstood but the disconection will only be from the head to the holding tank, non?

Just to clarify I have never removed a head from an...

Re: Conversion ex-charter heads

Right ok first the caveat:

I have never removed a head from an ex-charter FP Lavezzi, Lagoon 380/410 or Leopard catamaran.

But:

Seriously how difficult can it be? I'm a pretty practical...

Welcome, welcome.

I've seen a C&C 33 on eBay up at Sag Harbor that might fit the bill:

Re: How do you do it... (no AC)

I knew a girl in St. Lucia that swore by that technique.

I pretty much only wear lightwight merino wool tee's also. They wick the sweat over the entire surface of the garment thus making heat...

Re: How do you do it... (no AC)

Don't move ever. Stay as still as possible and the heat will be bearable.

And most certainly don't have a heat generating laptop on your lap typing a message on a sailing forum........that would...

Re: Any 30 something folks out on the East Coast?

Money. If money was no object then they'd be a lot more 30 somethings out there I'm sure.

Cruising on a budget still requires a significant budget.

Re: How much Heel?

I'd always assumed that the efficiency of forward motion was related to LWL? A healing boat will "generally" have a longer LWL and therefore will drive forward - well to weather at least.

Re: Challenging ASA Standards

Yeah I get that. But to get more time on a boat it helps to be better "qualified" then the next guy, well at least that's my logic for doing the ASA 108. If someone is looking for offshore/delivery...

Re: Challenging ASA Standards

The only certification I want is ASA 108 - Offshore Passage Making. But I can't do that without all of the previous keelboat standards being acheived/signed off.

I've never been that bothered...

Re: Why do i have a mizzen?

I like yawls/ketches.

For me the main benefit is being able to balance the boat in diffiuclt conditions. There is no speed benefit on any point of sail as far as I know.

Re: RYA or ASA ?

Difficult choice. But I agree that RYA is for professional sailers and ASA for recreational.

If I were to do it all again I'd probably go RYA - the courses are pretty comprehensive even at a...

Re: Freaking Radar!

This might be a bit of a low tech solution but have you considered taking another person with you? Four hour watches = four hours sleep (you can double that if you take two crew)

Re: Introductions

Nothing that would warrant a letter to a gentlemans magazine. They were a lightweight crew and I'm not lightweight.

Re: toilet paper - poll

Bagging is the way, nothing worse that have to clear those pipes.

Conachair makes a good point regarding the shower, I'd never thought of that.

Re: Introductions

Right, I can't add a profile picture. Anyway know why that might be? It's less that 400 x 400 pixels but more than 25kb. But that's not an issue apprently.

What could be the problem?
