Reef down

The night it got nasty we were down to jib and jigger. Keep in mind that this was the first time for all of us on a full keel, ketch rigged boat, so a lot of experimenting was taking place. That...

Allied Mistress

I helped a friend of mine deliver his from Tampa to Houston. My impressions are:
Way overbuilt and strong as you could hope for. Comfortable motion. Doesn't go to weather. Good tankage and...

They all are questionable at best

I have had three or four deals come along from time to time, that offered free something for simply taking a survey. All of them gave me a bad feeling, and most asked too many personal questions the...

Just my .02

IMHO and speaking generalitites. There are three things that usually do not go together very well. That is performance, comfort and ease of single handing. For my choice, I would most...

For what it's worth

Just to kind of put a different spin on this. I spent several years in my mis spent youth racing motorcycles. Like most in my time, I didn't even start racing till I was in my early 20's. In those...

I do this

On my 70 amp Hitachi alternator, with built in regulator, I simply move one of the field wires. That way I can get up to 16 volts output. Just watch the voltage, and time to your own desire. Very...

SSB Antenna Question

I have recently purchased an SSB receiver. Receiver only. The intent is to enable myself to become familiar with SSB, and to listen to the various Carribean nets and get weather fax. My question is...

GPS

My personal preferance is the Garmin line of products. I will not try to tell you they are better, but I can tell you that their customer support is second to none, and they are more user friendly...

My Take

I believe that the Hunter is one of the Cherubini Hunters. If it is, that would make the decision pretty easy for me. I have sailed a Cherubini on a 4 day trek across the gulf, and they are...

Bulwaga

There is a guy on one of the sailing boards, who's screen name is Franklin, who rode out Gustav or Ike or both, in Galveston Bay with a Bulwaga. He swears by them. My only remark other than that,...

I have to disagree

I know this is a matter of basically personal preferance. But for me I find the added complexity of the system to be not worth the added gain from the system. First off, with what I have, I can...

Not being anything close to an expert on this stuff, I think you are way over engineered on this whole mess. I don't understand why you went with the series wiring to 24v in the first place. I...

Never Seen

I have never seen a torque figure posted for anything other than clean and lightly lubricated. Giving a torque reading for a dirty or dry bolt would be at the very best a guessing thing, as to how...

Best I have seen

Not exactly home made, but the best lure ever for barracuda is a piece of surgical tubing, with hooks imbedded in it.

Louisiana info

Louisiana is pretty reasonabale. No sales tax on a boat more than ten years old. Don't understand that, but is what it is. They do require state registration, even if documented, but is cheap. ...

Not brand specific

I am not very brand specific, long as it's got chickory in it, and it's strong. I make mine in a plain ol blue metal percolator from wally world. Drink it all day long. There is nothing better than...

One more thought

Lots of Carribean countries/islands are very restricted in who can get a work permit, as they do not want anyone to come in and take work from the locals. So, I would look for something that does...

Samd boat

I have the same boat. 1981 S37, hull # 65. Have a Raymarine wheel pilot on it. I wanted an X-5, but got tired of waiting for them to be released, so went with out the built in gyro. Read the...

Mule

It isn't necessary to run 100 miles offshore to avoid all the oil rigs out there. You can stay in the safety fairways, and not have to run that far off. However, the water 100 miles out is so much...

Cool it

I think your over reacting a little bit. You do not know much of the circumstances here. Racing around at full throttle with a 5hp outboard isn't actually racing around. I have had idiots yell at...

Never any problems

Take it from an old motorcycle racer, who grew up on two strokes. The gas you now get at the pump sucks. I have a 2hp 2 stroke Suzuki on my dink. Vintage 1991. I never have any kind of a problem. ...

Spot is nice and works

The Spot is a pretty nifty little device, and works well. Had a friend on an Alaska cruise last year, and he sent position reports every day. It is by far way ahead of anything else out there, in...

Totally agree

I totally agree with the Tortugas, Key West suggestion. Distance to both is about the same, and both are an easy overnight sail. If you like more of the party and touristy atmosphere, head to Key...
