Re: Best Apps for Celestial navigation?

You couldn't do better than StarPilot. Their website is StarPilotLLC.com.
I bought it a few years ago and cannot remember the price exactly, maybe something like €40.

Re: Do use Day Shapes

I'm with you there. I always show an anchor ball when the hook is down because I'm a great believer in minimising risk as much as possible. Especially when the measure taken costs so little time and...

Help identify logo.

I wonder if anyone could identify the company that uses/used this logo. It is on a traveler car on a 1986 Jeanneau.

Re: Placing Screws in GRP: advice sought.

The track is bolted on but at either end there is a screw which holds the fixes stoppers. The latter never experience any lateral thrust as there are also plunger type sliding stops on either side...

Re: Placing Screws in GRP: advice sought.

I like the sound of the Simpson product. I am located on the East coast of Ireland so should not have any trouble sourcing it.

Placing Screws in GRP: advice sought.

I plan on replacing the end stops on the mainsheet traveller track which is attached to a bridgedeck aft of the companionway. What sealer or filler should be used to accept the new screws? Are there...

Re: Share some Sailing Terms....

I always thought that "the whole nine yards" referred to the 27 foot long ammunition belts that fed the heavy machine guns on bomber planes. A gunner would say that he gave a target "the whole nine...

Re: What is a good steering compass?
