Re: Floor materials and finish

Guys, Everdure is epoxy and it's specifically designed for wood. International recommend 2-4 coats, but for an interior cabin sole 2 coats are fine.

Re: Floor materials and finish

I use Everdure which is a 2 pack product made especially for wood. It soaks in an provides a high degree of moisture resistance. Apply 2 coats. You can then sand the upper surface and apply nonskid...

Re: Best Dingy for a 45' Cat?

We purchased a Walker Bay hypalon RIB. PVC isn't intended to be stored in sunlight - so if you go PVC you must keep the boat well covered. I really like the AB dinghies which have aluminum bottoms...

Re: Sailboat about to be clobbered by a 100-foot rouge wave (pic)

I was thinking the appropriate equipment was Scotch and a pair of Depends.

Seriously though, there may be a myriad of reasons why the boat is abeam. It's quite likely that losing the rig is...

Re: How Do You Insulate Bare Fiberglass?

Re: What Questions to ask a Skipper?

And seriously, from experience:

1. Have you serviced the engine? Like ever?
2. Do you actually know how much fuel and water this bad boy carries?
3. Did you fill those tanks up?

All questions...

Wharram's are beautiful boats. I like his design sense and his attention to detail.

The sad thing is that with his work ethic, but a more realistic plan, he could have had both the journey and the enjoyment of arriving at his destination.

Re: The Flyin Hawaiian is gone!

As I've stated, it'll probably float for a long time as a barge and I hope it does.

But it was built with the stated purpose of sailing the builder and his family to Hawaii. Would any of those...

Re: The Flyin Hawaiian is gone!

What this man has built is analogous to the south sea Cargo Cult versions of aircraft.

The mere fact of building it doesn't somehow validate his efforts. It's a fairy tale to state that by...

Re: Glass on a Sailboat

The Grand Banks cod fishery collapsed in 1992 after a 500 year run. At the time of the collapse they reckon the biomass was about 1% of what it had been a generation earlier. At present, it's...

Re: Rudder Bearings

Hi Blaze,

1. Don't know if you could do it in the water. If it's clear water give it a try. I think the bearings just pressed on, but it was 6 years ago so I'm not 100%. They're nylon so you could...

Re: Rudder bearings
