Re: No sailing experience but wanting to buy a 41ft morgan out island as a liveaboard

Man, this thread was ridiculous. Like watching a couple of kids bicker.

Hey Rognvald, Thanks for the explanation. I haven't fished Florida in many years, and when I did, it was mostly in central areas. But while down in Miami, a guy told me some stories about ciguatoxin,...

Re: Crimping Kit

On a related note:
NEVER use any crimp/strip tool that resembles the picture I attached.

Re: Please (try to) avoid sailing/transiting through race courses

As far as the Trawler goes... what an a**.

As far as the cruisers. it seems like you're asking the cruisers to alter their course. and on its face, it does sounds like a reasonable and polite...

Re: Crimping Kit

Great selection.

I've got a few different pairs of strippers. The Ideal shown here looks to be a pretty close copy of my very old General Cement Wire Strippers.

Re: Articles. What types of articles do you like to see in magazines?

Re: Atricles. What types of articles do you like to see in magazines?

All great questions, but maybe not the right ones.
Even if "Sailing", the general topic of sailing, is in decline (and I don't believe it is)

As others have said, the contract would need to be seen.

Re: Rooting the grooves in Teakdeck deeper, what to use to guide the rooter

Oh, and you can make a chisel planer at 4mm. You would just need to either finish the cut to the edge by hand or make it to where the chisel is more toward the end of the plane.
