Re: What is this? Wrench? Snubber? Any clue?

Looks to me like a hasp one would use to vary tension in a stay or foot of a sail to a deck mount.

Re: on the look out

I would drop your goal length slightly at that price. Something like an older Tayana 34 that might be reasonably outfitted could be had at that price point.

Re: Sold home bought boat - now what?!

So, all well, and good to bend the rules to get your mail. But in the long run, you’re going to need to find a strong legal solution. For example, what happens if you die while this phase of your...

Re: Sold home bought boat - now what?!

So… All well and good to use alternatives to get your mail. However, you also need to think of the legal side of things. If your bank turns a blind eye to the legal format of your address… What do...

Re: The best way to learn how to sail

Re: Can anyone identify this boat please?

Honestly, I don’t see the current owner EVER getting 350-500E for that boat unless its hauled, cleaned, geared up with what goes with it, and establishes enough information to prove he has the right...

Re: Shore transportation - Bikes

We have an old Kubuki folding bike we use. Folds VERY small, and fits in a hanging locker.
I recommend it if you can find one. Also, does not appear to rust or corrode… We have had it almost 30...

Re: Dinghy stole with new outboard - AGAIN - what do you use?

There are literally dozens of GPS tracking devices to use to help track stolen property like this, yet I haven’t been lucky enough to test them on water. I know they typically need some wifi or cell...

Re: Could use a little advice. Aluminum or Fiberglass for this?

Just one question?

W. H. Y. ????

Why would you mess with the engineered design of your boat? You are talking about affecting your center of gravity, your moments of inertia, your ability to...

Re: 304 vs 316 on deck

Re: Crash Gybe!

Very interesting discussion. I think you have all covered the boom brake issues well.
My question relates more to, essentially, single handling at night on a downwind tack.
First, I remove whisker...

Re: How to deal with aggressive ducks...

Re: Repowering. Where on the US east coast?

Try Old Lyme Marina (CT). Have some good mechanics. They service my Yanmar 110. But, plan to wait (everywhere) for the engine to arrive! Unless you sourced one already…

Re: Frustrated

LOL. I guess I read his first thread as ‘live on $900 a month’, and he only covered $350 or so in slip fee plus elec and water, which no way gets you to $900… so I was assuming he’s including...

Re: Frustrated

The only place I ever found living on the boat to be less costly than living on land is when I lived aboard my boat on a mooring at City Island, New York, just offshore from New York City! Not sure...

Re: On Not Wearing A PFD

Honestly, I can’t think of a ‘sound’ argument for not doing so. I usually have an inflatable PFD on when on board. I always have it on if alone, aboard. I have even set up kill switches on engines,...

Re: Cheap good marina Bimini

Check with the casino on the north end, Resorts World Bimini. They have a big new wharf and marina, and may have deals if you ‘stay and play’. Might be worth gambling 40-60 bucks for a possible free...

Re: Is this a good first boat?

Sailed with a friend who owned one years ago, and they liked the boat. I thought it a bit ‘broachey’ in a breeze. But you may appreciate the shallow draft if you plan to ‘go south’.
But yes, plan ob...

Re: Doubling Up Mooring Lines

Of course it is prudent. Also, use of chafing gear is critical.
I run main line thru mooring ball, and have second line rigged to chain hasp below ball. One lies on port side and one on starboard....

Re: Catching Fish while Sailing?

I always use a heavy bottom fishing type handline when trolling by sail, not a rod. I find the rods a bit of an obstruction to moving around. I haul in the line, luff up when not too rough, and bring...

Re: New Boat vs Used Boat?

New boats are the same as new cars… Only worse. You drive off the lot and lose 30% of its value. Most warranties are rarely used because you’re never in port to use them… If it were me, I’d find a...
