Re: Caulk for Teak

Re: Caulk for Teak

Bond breaker tape makes no sense at all if the teak has been epoxy bonded to the substrate and is thin ie 90% of modern applications. Bond breaker stops the caulk from sticking at the bottom of the...

Re: Has anyone used a KiwiProp?

Yep. Had a 3 blade for 3.5 years after changing from fixed 3 blade.
It has worked perfectly for me. Low vibration was noticable and there was a significant sailing speed gain of about 1 knot on a...

Re: Price for ranger 33 in Australia

The Ranger 33 is a lovely boat. Everyone who has ever owned one will remember it fondly. Classic Gary Mull "nice little sailboat". But yes 79k is over the top.

Re: Do Dust Busters work?

Do yourself a favour and get a Dyson.

Re: Cleaning Sails

Good lord, I can't believe that people are seriously suggesting you wash sails in a washing machine. Fair go I'm speechless.

Mask 30mm wide strips. Topcoat varnish alternate strips and sprinkle or mix in microspheres. This way you get more shine. You will find the textured strip collect dirt but a soft nail brush and a...

Yep you usually need one for spray protection in a centre cockpit design, a bit less so for aft cockpits. There is still nothing like sailing with the wind on your face and a clear view ahead though....
