Re: An old man takes a small boat to the Bahamas...

Nice thread Sumner. Sounds like a great trip. Bummer about the rudder, but what luck having trouble when and where it happened.

Cheers to you, Sumner.

Re: 2nd Try To Not Be Embarrassed Off Forum But Unsure What Topic (If Any) I’m In

Actually he is in a Macgregor 26S. I also own a Macgregor, and he is very active on the Mac forums. A great guy and good writer. Worth the time to look at his thread.

Re: Where to sell a boat

Re: Best Sailing channels on Youtube

+1 very good Youtube. The reason I found this thread, I watched all of the SV/Delos videos. Looking for something new to keep me motivated here in Iowa.

Re: Insurance question

Good question. I hope you get some discussion on this. Probably been asked before, but my search skills are poor on a good day.

Re: courtesy vs national flag

That was an interesting read. Although I will say I am surprised and disappointed that SWL has flown the white flag. She is clearly the right one in this discussion. I do enjoy a spirited discussion,...

Re: Stainless Fabricator Recommendations for Bent Anchor Roller?

If you need to drill stainless, buy a cheap Cobalt drill set. Cobalt bits go right through stainless. Go slow and use lots of oil. Don't get the bit hot or it will harden the stainless.

Re: Sailing with a welder aboard?

I'm not yet a cruiser, so I may be wrong about this. But I am a weldor, in my home shop on my free time. I'd also recomend a TIG rather than a stick welder. You will be able to weld many more of the...

Re: Most useful skill for cruiser?

I'm a home brewer. I'd be interested in that thread. Got a pointer? Or help with search terms so I can find it.

Never mind. Tonight my search skills are beyond normal, found it myself.

Re: Celestial Navigation

I just want to say thanks dacust for the link. I just got started reading the book, but so far it makes celestial navigation interesting and understandable enough to keep me going.

Re: recs for under 3500lbs trailer sailer?

Re: Cheap Sailboat Sightings

That looks like a deal on the Cal 2-29. It's a real drag living in Iowa. My Mac will have to do for a couple more years.
