What tablets run OpenCPN?

I'm thinking of buying a tablet to run OpenCPN. I don't want to do root crap and other nonsense to get an app to run. What are the hardware and software requirements for OpenCPN. I searched their...

Re: Unwanted marks circles

I just installed V5.0 and a few of the new plugins (Squiddio, etc). Range rings appeared around all the Squiddio waypoints. With the instructions I was able to turn them off. I did not touch any...

Re: Hearing Aids for the cruising sailor?

I think my problem is different, but the results are the same. I have pretty severe Tinnitus. The constant high end ringing drowns out a lot of sounds, including people's voices and TV. I could...

Re: Let's revisit through hull installations

Sorry to be late to the discussion, but I had an additional question. Are all these through-hulls safe in freezing weather? As in the air temp can be sub-zero(F) for up to a week at a time and the...

Re: Fat Man in the Basement

I have a spare 22 footer I don't know what to do with. Be happy to give it to you but you would have to climb out of the basement to work on it.

I'm a big guy too, but ask anyone, I'm pretty...

Re: Early retirement and health care for boaters

Re: Choose musical instrument for cruising

George Harrison was a big fan of the Uke and so are we. Guitars are really bulky on a boat, but a Uke can go anywhere.

Re: Choose musical instrument for cruising

I roared when I read this! Lots of movies have poked fun at the bagpipes (EX: Longest Day). My brother in law plays them fairly well (and yes, wears a kilt). And with our family being Scotch/Irish...

Re: Has anyone tried Flexseal below the waterline?

I think this stuff was originally intended to be used as a gutter seal. Been on TV for a very long time. I too thought the wide tape would be great for an emergency. This topic coming up is a good...

Re: Advice on meals on Passage

I'm a can man. But then again, I'm not crossing oceans. Also dry goods. Mac and cheese (bagged noodles) can be mixed with canned tuna or chicken to make a yummy one pot meal. Change it up with...

Re: Catalina 30

I love my 30, but the slanted floor was treacherous. Fixing that problem with real non-skid was a very high priority.158940

Re: disposing of OOD flares

Can't speak for other countries, but in the US the Sirius SOS signal light is now legal. But I will NOT discard OOD flares because if I'm in peril, I want all the signaling capability I can muster. I...

Re: Living aboard in the Baltimore Area

Its cold in the winter and unless your boat is well insulated, you will generate condensation like crazy. Why not find a cheap place to stay and keep your boat at a cheap marina. I keep my boat at...

Re: Doyle Sails - Utility Power Sail

They seem well made. Surprisingly so for the price. I want to upgrade the hardware I'm using, but went ahead and hoisted it to check it out. I can actually adjust it to fly over the pulpit, so the...

Re: Doyle Sails - Utility Power Sail

Haven't used it yet, but picked up a "Generator" sail from Peak Sails for my Catalina 30. Seems very similar to the UPS or a typical cruising code zero. Basically a lightweight 165% Genoa that was...

Re: Where do all the salvage boats go?

If you are looking for used boat parts, just go to a place that salvages the parts and sells them. Like Bacon Marine in Annapolis. Search the web. There are plenty of other outfits that sell used...

Cruises at up to 20 knots (can do 30 MPH), can take it almost anywhere, easy setup, no slip fees and sails fairly well. As I didn't take it out much, I would rent a truck when I...

Re: Middle class family entry level coastal cruisers, what are they?

I feel your pain! But hang in there. You can replace the motor (cable it on next time), fix the trailer, strengthen the mast stays and be back on the water before you know it. If you lived closer to...

Re: Replacing genoa with Code Zero

Re: Fore and aft traveler position - effect
