Re: St Lucie & Lake Worth Inlets

Re: Why would they alter the shape of the propane tank??

From Benz.
Gas companies are notoriously paranoid about any-ANY-tank modification. I wouldn't risk it. I'm sorry for all the trouble....been there. I've even had to lash a 10-lb composite tank to my...

Re: Why would they alter the shape of the propane tank??

It looks like my anchor locker is about 1 inch too short for the steel tank. 😩 I am considering grinding down the base so it fits. Has anyone done that before? Hoping that won’t cause the gas...

Re: Why would they alter the shape of the propane tank??

Thank you all for your replies.

I did look into composite tanks but could not find the right size. Then I read about the tighter recertifications needed as marcjsmith stated so I gave up on...

Re: FL east coast vs West coast

Great advice has been given for both coasts. Depending on what type of sailing you’re looking for, the St. Lucie River is a great place to get out for a few hours in almost any weather. Nice small...

Re: Day sail in New Zealand South Island near Dunedin

Jim or Ann,

Re: Day sail in New Zealand South Island near Dunedin

Thanks for the responses. Yes, racing would have been nice but as you said, I’m a bit late for that. Unfortunately we won’t have enough time when we get back to Auckland before we fly back. Maybe...

Day sail in New Zealand South Island near Dunedin

Good Day All,

Re: Hawks Channel question from Marathon heading North

Thank you for the responses. I see what you’re referring to on the chart re: depth and like the idea of catching the west wall of the GS for a boost.

And thank you Sailing Harmonie for not...
