Re: Van-De-Stadt - best mono hull ever built.

I have a 1964 Van de Stadt Rebel 41. To me, she is the quintessential "boat". If you asked me, draw a boat, I'd draw her lines. If I had to be in a storm, I know she'd look after me. I know,...

Re: Corian counters

I redid all of the countertops in my head with corian.

I am not at all technically proficient but I found corian quite easy to work with (just need a router, matched adhesives, and undermounted...

Re: Lagoon bulkheads

This, precisely.

Bulkheads detaching/buckling after less than 10 years, particularly on a catamaran where they are essential to structural integrity, is not just an "issue". It's a fundamental...

Re: Canadian COVID-19 News

Scorpius, we too slowly circumnavigated Vancouver Island. What a trip! Must have been just out of sync with you.

Mike, I completely agree (as I seem to with most of your posts... first time...

Re: Canadian COVID-19 News

I think Canada, and BC in particular have struck a pretty good balance thus far.

Flexible, fact-driven restrictions that have tracked the growing science and case numbers. Nothing approaching the...

Re: Canadian COVID-19 News

Sadly, there shouldn’t even be an “anti-vax” camp. It’s existence is a testament to the extent that ignorance, quackery and, self indulgent selfishness are so prevalent.

History provides a helpful...

Re: Canada. Buy a boat in the name of my corporation

You’re literally describing tax evasion, and asking about how to get away with it on a public sailing forum. Go speak to an accountant and/or a lawyer. If you do, and they don’t instantly tell you...

Re: It's the little things...

A pot full of fresh caught crab, and beer in the icebox.

Oh, and my wife bringing me one of those beers while I lounge in the hammock on the foredeck.

Bliss.

Re: Bronze Manual Windlass

Hi Jim - I realize I never replied to you! Perhaps “fabricated” is a bit of an overstatement. The new handle was simply a metal bar about s foot long and the right dimension to fit the slot on the...

Re: Bronze Manual Windlass

We're geographically close, and close enough on price too, so I am sure we can work something out, newhaul. I can do $350, provided you can figure a way to get it. I travel to Pt. Roberts on...

Re: Bronze Manual Windlass

Hi Newhaul - I'll actually be in Seattle next weekend, albeit only for a quick visit, so if you're interested that might work out. I was thinking something around $500 (based on jrogers' 2008 post),...

Re: Got a plastic classic?

I've just pulled the original, manual bronze windlass of my 1964 Van de Stadt Rebel 41, and it's looking for a new home. Don CL suggested I link to the post here.

Re: Bronze Manual Windlass

Thanks, Don. I'll see if I can do that. I just joined the forum today (I've anonymously browsed it for hours, but never actually signed up), and just subscribed to my first thread: Plastic classics!...

Bronze Manual Windlass

This bronze windlass has been on the bow of my Van de Stadt Rebel 41 ever since she was launched from Southern Ocean Shipyards in England back in 1964, and it is still working fine. The chain gypsy...
