Re: Top Items on board

@ Mike OReilly, we burn presto logs while at the dock and can easily store two weeks worth aboard our 48' ketch. We burn on average two logs a day and it never goes out while we're aboard. When...

Re: Am I crazy to buy a boat on the east coast when I live in Southern California?

From our home in Oregon we have purchased a vessel on the Great Lakes sight unseen. Some deals are just too good to pass up. Ours turned out to be a great experience. If the boat you think of...

Re: Top Items on board

Hands down, our Cubic Mini wood-fired heater. It transforms an otherwise dank boat into a cozy warm, home away from home.

Re: Dinghy, to name or not to name?

There was a time when painting TT or "tender to" followed by mothership name on your skiff essentially exempted your shore boat from local regulations regarding registering your dinghy and outboard...

Re: How to choose a dinghy

For the San Juans I recommend a good fiberglass skiff that motors, rows, sails and skulls well. You can always cut it in half and glass in a couple of bulkheads so it can nest one half inside the...

Re: Anyone have any idea what this is?

I disagree with this being designed and built as a lee cloth. There would not likely be but two grommets on one side. I suspect it was intended as a spray cloth intended to be secured to the...

Re: Help me figure out how to rig this boat!

I am curious if this is a vessel built by John T. Taylor in 1968?

It could be that the spar with the flattened end (notched) is the gaff minus the cheek blocks. In that the mast has a sheave a...

Re: Are More Expereinced Sailors Actually Safer? Prove It.

Experience is what you get when you don’t get what you want. If you’re smart enough to learn from your and other’s experiences then yes, you get safer. The proof is in the fact that experienced...

Re: Engine Spares For Remote Cruising

I run a 4JH3 HTE and do a great deal of very remote cruising. I carry many of the spares already mentioned but I wish very much that I had carried a spare set of the oil cooling lines that run from...

Re: why didn't this happen???...

Your HC38 did exactly what I would have suspected. Laying ahull is a very good thing but not very comfortable. As the boat rises up the swell it heels away from the wave, exposing the hull (strongest...

Re: VOR boat in Fatal Collision.

Just spoke to my brother whose daughter was behind Vestas, on MAPFRE. The fleet of fishing vessels, gillnetters, were all poorly lit. Most carried a single kerosine lamp at their mast head. Regarding...
