Re: Lofrains windlass

Not yet. Sailboat hasn't been on the radar lately but a launch date is looming. That'll force me aboard very soon. Will post as I have more.

Re: Lofrains windlass

Will do. After storm cleanup, I'll do some more digging and head scratching.

Re: Lofrains windlass

Haven't had a chance to search for the handle. Must have put it somewhere for safe keeping. Nothing overly technical to it, just a hollow stainless pipe.

Re: Lofrains windlass

Here are some photos. Still have the box, however I am scratching my head as to where the rod/handle is. Must be on my boat as it was shipped separate.

My brother still owns a Herreschoff H-23 that was built in the fifties. Mahogany on oak. A former owner pulled out the auxiliary for storage space and transom mounted a British seagull outboard. Then...

Re: Adding wireless remote to a old Autohelm 3000

Nice job! I'd be happy with just the wired remote for my 3000. One day a few years back and not knowing the gyro makeup of the controller... Had the bright idea to take the controller with me forward...

Re: Purchased boat, now notice Documented number

You say the owner prior, knew nothing of the documentation. That's a problem as the boat ownership was never transferred to him properly. You may have to track down the original owner who likely is...

Re: 300 lb dingy for 20' 2000 lb sailboat?

It'll make a great storm drogue. You need a small rollable inflatable that can stow below deck. i had a ten foot zodiac that slowed my old 23', 4 ton herreshoff down by two knots.

Re: New Member - First Question

Marshall Catboats are popular in the Northeast here. 18' & 22' lengths that I know of. I believe they were designed for the shallow Chesapeake Bay(?) shallow draft, center board setup with large...

Re: What yacht is this?

Lived aboard a new Fuji 35 with my entire family in the seventies. The only difference I can note is we had a captains wheel aft at the lazarette instead. All else identical.

Re: Holding Tank Mystery?

Both those ideas are very likely. I know that as a 32 yr old boat the vent hose is small, probably 1/4" ID, and likely clogged. It's been on the to do list. This winter for sure. It's the last of the...

Re: Holding Tank Mystery?

There was only an on and off button. Followed the instructions from the dock master. That would make sense if they had it set incorrectly.

Re: Dinghies

We live aboard and own a Portland Pudgy with a 2 HP honda. It has been a great little launch. I have ringed the Pudgy with fenders to make it scratch proofed against the hull when laying at anchor or...

Re: Shroud Extensions?

Probably best to rewire them. Thanks for the push. This has been driving me nuts. The rig is nothing to take chances with. I love my boat and my boat loves my money.

Re: Shroud Extensions?
