Re: Polite Beach Antifouling Question

In water cleaning/scraping of ablative paints in Wa. State is illegal...$10k fine.
What part of that eludes you?
"therefore in-water hull cleaning is not illegal in Wa"
Interesting logic...

Re: Heavily worn Simpson Lawrence Seatiger Windlass

See post #2 above re parts. John is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. The 555 is an excellent windlass and if Johns advice is followed you will get years of good service.

Re: Should Chotu Quit This Forum

Good grief Chotu...grow up and quit acting like a child.

Why quit the forum when you can just concentrate on...

Re: New Member gearing up to build my first sailboat

I took a slightly different way to a cruising boat. I stumbled upon a derelict classic, walked away, couldn't stop thinking about the boat, and ended up buying her, building a covered workspace and...

Re: Upper and lower shrouds on one chain plate. How to?

Also your advice to Chotu on many of his questions seems well thought out and practical. In many years of working in boatyards I realized that one of the worst things you can do is ask 5 different...

Re: Upper and lower shrouds on one chain plate. How to?

Re: Upper and lower shrouds on one chain plate. How to?

I'm beginning to understand why you have so many problems getting anyone to work on your boat. The riggers, whom you seem to trust, have told you what you need to do, yet here you are on CF once...
