re: Galley refit on 27' sailboat?

In my experience very few owner modified boats look or function as well as originally designed and built. Many are never quite finished, or done quite right. And most, I would say, devalue the boat....

Re: Origo 6000 alcohol oven, building/design one yourself?

There are three Origo 6000's on eBay in the US right now, including a brand new never used one. Two on the west coast and one in NY. $1750 to $2000. Plus shipping.
It would not surprise me if there...

Re: Hole in motor behind starter on Volvo Penta MD22L

I'm not so sure this would have been caused by a Bendix or drive pinion failure. The whole purpose of that housing is to contain such failures.

Re: Origo 3000 out of control

There is only one way this is happening; you are refilling the canisters while they are in place in the stove. Because that's the easiest thing to do. And you are overfilling them. Alcohol is...

Re: Health Care & Diabetes

Your doctor doesn’t know anything about diabetes that every other doctor in the world doesn’t know. He won’t talk to you on the phone because he can’t bill your insurance for that.

Re: North from the Bahamas

People often equate proximity to land with safety, when just the opposite is true.

In the middle of the Gulf Stream there are no bridges or bridge schedules, tidal schedules, nor schedules of any...

Re: Is a dinghy a necessity for the ICW?

Something I just remembered about getting a kedge out... I swam one out once. My big heavy inflatable was stowed on deck. I was alone. Just didn't want to bother hoisting it off and back on....

Alaskaflyfish,

Re: Is a dinghy a necessity for the ICW?

My vote would be no. handy to have? Sure. But you have a small boat. Compromises must be made. It will constantly be in the way and a general pia.
You can motor right up to any dock and sail up to...
