Re: Whats the best way to grow sprouts on a boat with minimal water and won't go mush

That's how mine are. A plastic jar (probably peanut butter :thumb:) with an aluminum screen, the type you get for windows, held on with a rubberband. Just rinse directly and drain the water without...

Re: Whats the best way to grow sprouts on a boat with minimal water and won't go mush

Re: Halyard for old-style roller furling

Yeah you don't see them very often these days. Mine came with the boat. I have hank-ons too but I use the furler almost exclusively. I'd prefer a normal furler because they're a bit smoother and...

Re: Halyard for old-style roller furling

I have the same furler and use a regular sta-set halyard. As long as the swivel at the top is working properly you shouldn't have any twisting issues or wear on the halyard

Re: Another pressure cooker question

I suspect my alcohol camp stove, which only holds 1 ounce of fuel, couldn't do the job. But, there's absolutely no sane reason to assume an Origo boat stove couldn't do it.

Re: Marina liveaboard advice needed, Magothy river.

Just keep in mind that's probably with a year lease. Good option if you know you'll be staying that long.

Re: Marina liveaboard advice needed, Magothy river.

In my marina the water is free. Whether it comes out of the hose and into the tanks of a 50 footer or out of the shower head in the marina restroom makes no difference. Electricity is metered....

Re: How to Secure Boat to Piling

For sandy I used a clove hitch finished with half hitches. I used two lines on the piling, one high and one low, so I wouldn't have to make any adjustments at the piling with the tides. The lines...

Re: Frankenstorm!

Re: Let's see your pride and joy(sailboat)

Just guessing here, but she might sail a little better with both sails on the same tack :whistling:

Or maybe that's just an optical illusion... I don't know.

Re: Derelict Boats - Not Florida

But! If we towed them and sank them, how could we account for the millions of dollars we get from both the federal government and private resources to fix this 'problem'?

It's not blinders, it's called perspective.

Re: Single Handed Live Aboard

If I'm understanding correctly... You want two separate 12v banks out of the 4-6v batteries, then you would need to wire each pair in series.

What most people do is then wire the two pairs...
