Re: What else to watch?

Re: Sail cover

True that. But 100.00 for a sewing machine, plus 7 yards of Sunbrella at around 30.00 per yard, plus zippers, plus fasteners, etc etc. In the end you save 200.00 for X hours of labour. And...

Re: Sail cover

A sail cover from a loft shouldn't be more than 30.00 per foot of boom length. Not sure where the 500.00 number quoted above is coming from. Don't waste your time doing this yourself.

Re: Mainsail Slides

Thirty inches is the norm. Any more than that you risk having the luff rattle at the upper part of the mast.

Re: Anyone used Kingsolar 120 watt flex panels?

Re: How is the water getting into my engine?

Just to close the loop on this thread, in the end it was the Westerbeke mixing elbow. Corroded and leading at the top where the water enters. Replaced and all is well now.
