Re: Dealing with insurance company

I left the seacocks out. Sorry. I had them closed from the time I got to the marina. I tend to do that before I leave the boat after a sail. Standard procedure for me I guess.

Re: Dealing with insurance company

No I knew I didn't have full coverage but I thought I at least had something to repair a hit on the bow. It isn't going to sink her but the boat is over 20 years old so my agent said they wouldn't...

Re: Dealing with insurance company

Re: Dealing with insurance company

So what is reasonable? That's a vague question indeed. I did n't remove the panels for lack of time. There comes a choice you have to make. Board up and help board up my home, moms brothers, aunts...

Re: Why are there few high-weight Cruiser Folk?

two things I have noticed is when sailing I drink a lot of water. And I don't feel like eating as much. Water might have something to do with it but I am sure I sweat most of it out during the day...

Re: Liveaboard don't ask don't tell

I checked one marina here and the dock master said you can stay aboard five days but If I catch you on board three in a row then your a live aboard. ?. Where's the thinking there? The first thing I...

Re: Liveaboard don't ask don't tell

This is how I got away with it. But the marina I was in had facilities but was not a live aboard marina. I wonder what the state wants for a marina to be live aboard.

Re: Conyplex Corporation Contest 33

Mitiempo you are right. I ordered a tank from a tank company and they screwed up the placement of the two inlets so I couldn't use it. I was going for a gravity system up until that happened. In the...

Re: Dangerous skippers, and not wanting to say anything.

Just on a side note. I have learned more watching others and not doing what they did, then I ever could have learned getting advice. If you see a guy not using the wind and or current to his or her...

Re: Shopping for a Sailboat, General Question

I would say look for anything with a survey from a good surveyer. And shy away from anything without one. A owner should have one and be able to tell you things like when the bottom was painted last.

Re: Father and his kids missing at sea

I remember about five years ago getting knocked over about 70 to 80 degrees off Johns Pass with no sail up. Shore was only a mile away. I will never forget waves cause knock downs not wind.

Re: Conyplex Corporation Contest 33

What Glue would you recommend for the lap joint Sandero? I was thinking it needs to be able to take wet and oily as teak has oil in it to bond well.
