Re: Grounded my boat

Yeah, on the Chesapeake Bay I refer to my efforts to go where I should not be "plowing crabs".

The important thing is to make sure you have sufficient supplies onboard as rescue could take...

Re: Russian spy ship right in my next rumb line

Make obscene gestures to them. They are not nice people. Also, they are probably using you and your electronics as training for new spies. I would not be surprised if they had already gone through...

Re: Annapolis in the water boat show

It is a bit wet isn't it? Rare to close the Spa Creek bridge too.

Re: REMOVING SS screws from my aluminium Fortress Anchor

This is one of the tricks we use in engine building if a bolt or screw is seized. Welding on a nut to a screw swells the threads, breaking any rust or adhesions, and gives a strong piece to turn on....

Re: Sailboats vs. Powerboats which is better?

Wonderful overview of boating and tough decisions to make.



OP - I will add to the stew, who will be doing the work? Buying an old boat which is cheap, very cheap, usually means it needs...

Re: Surveyor in VA

About seven years ago I had Richard Milner of Dynamic do one of my surveys. I think he is in Chesapeake.

Ocean Yachts 46 Sunliner A/C Inlet location

I acquired an Ocean Yachts Sunliner 46. The only documents on board were some general sales material from the period. Nothing covered the systems on the boat itself. Most things I can handle, but...

Re: Ocean 46 sunliner

I just bought one. A fixer-upper, but she is good. I think she can move along between 8 and 9 knot/hr. for fuel economy. A Detroit Diesel chart I came across shows best fuel economy at 900 rpm. ...

Re: Why not a motor yacht?

I enjoy reading these discussions. I am sailor, I love sailing. But, I have to give it up, my shoulders are no longer capable of life on a sail boat. So I am looking at a retirement/vacation boat....

Re: Lightning Strikes

Re: Bigger prop for Catalina 30

I have a 1984 Catalina 30 with the Universal 25 (850 block) with a three blade prop. It works fine for most situations. Backing up is something that is more of a wish than an actuality. I do like...

Re: Boat Names...point of view

One that left me confused was Cu Na Mara. To me Copper...

Re: Catalina 30 cooling question

For the water flow question, take a peek inside the exchanger for pencil zinc's that break off inside and block the exit.

Never planned to circumnavigate, so that is a nothing to check off the list. Never planned to cruise for weeks at a time. So that is another to check off the list.

Re: What Does the Name of Your Boat Say About You?

I knew the Chinese/Japanese name she had was not her to me. Perseverance sounded too much like a British warship. I reached into my heritage and found the best name. Think determination, courage,...

Re: Atomic 4 dies in gear...

A guess is your ignition system is in need of TLC. Points and condensor would be a beginning before pulling the carb. You might want to replace the springs if those are still originals.

Re: USCG to Implement Fee to Renew Documented Vessels

For those with a rebellious spirit, run for Congress (and win of course). The House sets the budget, not the White House, not the Senate, not DHS and especially the USCG. The CG is allocated so...

Re: Have Tailing Lines Ever Saved A Solo Sailor?

I will be adding a tailing line, except it is to a life ring with carpet patches attached to it. Something for Boo to go for if she slips off while under way.

Sounds good enough excuse to enjoy a better bottle of champagne, and probably a decent martini too.
