Re: Port lights

Re: The bare necessities.

Interesting what different people think of as necessities for a sailboat! I might be too simple thinking, but a solar panel attached to a lifeline, wires to a regulator and battery, wires to...

Re: Propeller shaft seal compression amount

Similar to the two pieces of lumber thread, but easier. Try this - measure from the end of the seal to the end of the shaft. Cut a piece of timber (say, 19x30mm) that length less 3/4”. Place a flat...

Re: Maintenance chart

Thanks Gord, but I was hoping someone had done a specific one for sail boats. If not that will be a good start for me.

Re: Singlehanded, sailing out the anchor.

Somewhere between three and six months ago “The Rigging Doctor” on YouTube had a whole segment on raising and lowering the anchor single handed. It looked easy and was simple.

Re: Hot water

Gene is a good idea and one came with the boat. May be an issue in a crowded area though. Have read some threads where the ops were complaining about gene noise

Hot water

Our new to us single hull sail boat has a hot water tank heated by the main motor, which I’m not in favour of. The boat has two gas bottles for the stove. We also own a caravan which has two gas...

Re: Holland 30 for bluewater cruising?

A Holland 30 won the Sydney to Hobart in 1979 if that counts. Have a look at Ron Holland in Wikipedia for more information.

Auto pilot

Joshua Slocum’s book, from memory, says that once the sails were set the boat found its own way without outo pilot. I think he said the tiller was immobilised, but not sure. The boat seemed to find...

Re: boat discount if i can pay some of the sum by cash by hand

Most of you didn’t read the op’s comments - “cash by hand / private account”, also it’s a “Charter company” supposedly selling the boat.
Is it safe to do so - probably not to put money into a...

Re: 110v 220v definitions WHY?

Australia is 240. No ever says anything different. I’m currently in Uganda and people say either 220 or 240, but mostly 240. However, the actual can vary from 180 to 280, but is generally around 230...

Re: Construction details of Rudder question after the sailboat sunk at Cowes

The stump jump plough was as Aussie invention. Looks like someone has jumped on a good idea and modified it for boats. Good on them!
