Re: 1985 Moody 47 Rudder Rust

If I plan to move forward with it I'll definitely get a surveyor. I was on the boat yesterday but now 6 hours away. Looking through pictures this morning I saw a bunch of places I failed to check...

Re: Knot Booklet

I'm new enough at tying bowlines that I have to do it the same way every time or I screw it up. So please take my inexperience for what it is. May be useful since knot books are most useful to those...

Re: GoPro - What do you think?

I have the HERO3 Black also. I love the camera except for the battery life. The HERO 3+ is supposedly better but I've not seen one to compare. I like that the video can be displayed on my mobile...

Re: Young Yachties-Sail article

I'm 34 and would love to cruise but I'm just starting out in sailing. My job doesn't allow me to be gone for very long so until I can retire I will be limited to where I can go. It's not something I...

Re: Being pulled in many directions...

I make lists but it is still distracting. When I got on the boat I only had three things to do. After I make the list I have 20. Since I have a hard time focusing on one thing, I try to work on a few...
