Re: Best Time to Beat Up West Coast (California)?

I have done four trips north from Baja California. The first was...

Re: SF Bay: Haulout and DIY advice needed

I forgot to say, that I called Berkeley Marine, and they're not taking DIY boats yet--they weren't sure when they would start that up again. Nice people though! My boat is now in Berkeley Marina,...

Re: Can I use this boat to sail California coast?

I don't know how "little" your kids are. I do agree with the general concensus that the Typhoon, though a good boat, might just be too small for all of you. My family's best trips to Catalina were...

Re: CCA boats and wind vanes

We loved the very old Hydrovane on our Cheoy Lee Offshore 40, a nearly identical hull to your Rhodes Pearson. It got us around the world, with some maintenance (Teflon bushings added in Phuket) and a...

Re: Your 27 - 32 ft story...

In the late '70's we sailed a Pearson Coaster, a Bill Shaw 30 foot sloop. She had a full keel and cutaway forefoot; the east coast version generally had a centerboard and was called a Wanderer. We...

Re: Sail handling without winches

Re: WANTED: Cornell Ocean Atlas Pilot Charts

Paradise Cay (paracay.com) has the second edition. $79.95. Probably worth it. I am keeping my first edition for nostalgia's sake. Good luck and fair winds.

Re: WANTED: Cornell Ocean Atlas Pilot Charts

Re: Bent Chain hook for Snubber

Though we always used a rolling hitch for our snubber, a grab hook as pictured is a good thing to have on board. When the windlass has a problem, a grab hook on the chain, aft of the windlass, with...

Re: Does anyone sail now or have sailed before without a motor

The rig and underbody of our Cheoy Lee Offshore 40, Mary T, are very similar to yours. We had several periods over the years, of sailing without an engine, whether it was out for a re-build or...

Re: GENOA vs. JIB: choosing from 90% to 110%

Re: Newbies looking for a name for our boat!

One caution: we kept the simple name she came with when we bought our boat nearly 30 years ago. We thought "Mary T" would be easy to spell and pronounce on the VHF, and it generally was. However, I...
