Re: using a public boat landing to park car while anchored out

Some public boat ramps monthly rates. In Monterey, CA it's not very expensive. A public parking garage or a friend's house are other considerations.

I like the NUX Mighty Air for an amp if you want to take an electric guitar. This amp is super portable and has a decent number of modeled sounds for various types of amps and pedal effects. The amp...

Re: Good starter trailer sailboat?

Plus 1 for the Catalina 22. I am currently sailing that boat as my first trailer sailor. It's been great. I've learned so much, from sailing to all the maintenance. Everything is the same as a...

Re: Boats Less Than $30K Recent Noteworthy Finds

Beautiful boat!

Since you already own one, what kind of headroom is there? How about the V-berth? I'm 6'4".

Thanks!

Re: Replacement toliet trailer sailor w/ pump-out?

We have a Thetford. We keep it in the V-berth, but use it in the cockpit. It's decent. We went with the larger model but it's too tall to be able to use in the V-berth. We sleep in the main cabin...

Re: Foul weather gear selection

I'm only a beginner sailor and usually don't find myself in very bad weather often. Therefore I try to use what I already own. For example, I have a very nice Gortex fishing jacket which doubles...

Re: pvc glued seams vs welded seams

In the whitewater arena, the best PVC boats are made by AIRE, Sotar, and Maravia. I'm not sure if any of these manufacturers make dinghy style boats.
