Re: Can I use oak instead of teak?
Can you use stainless steel or Starboard in this particular application? Just asking because they're always my first choices for exterior stuff.

Re: Keeping CF pleasant
What's odd about it. You already said that reputation scoring would be especially useful for newer members. I see no reason to believe these new members can't sort things out as easily as us old...

Re: Keeping CF pleasant
Scoring members and keeping track of their "reputations" sounds a little Orwellian to me.
I operate on the assumption that new members to a forum are just as smart as I am and are perfectly...

Re: Keeping CF pleasant
Yeah, you're right. Only in the last few months have I used the ignore feature, and have used it twice. I think I hesitated because the ignore feature doesn't remove them from the planet...it just...

Re: Noob trailering question
I come from a boating background and a travel trailer background. When pulling a travel trailer all over the country, you learn to do it right or wish you had. I would definitely respect the Subaru...

Re: I thought sailing was supposed to be fun
Huh? I'm here on almost a daily basis, but I must be reading the wrong posts, because I'm not seeing rampant cynicism and bullying. Sure, there's the occasional troll, but they're generally easy to...

Re: New Sailor Searching for His Dream Vessel
The list of boats that would fit your criteria is very long. We can all take turns naming a particular boat, but that's not going to be of much value to you.
You're 16 and you're going to live...

Re: Major prop walk in forward
A couple of responders have been right about what you're experiencing NOT being "prop walk".
I had a Catalina 28 that suffered from the same situation you describe. The faster I went in forward...

Re: Single Handed Great Loop
Met a singe-handed looper in the municipal marina in Ludington, Michigan. He had a Ranger Tug 27. He was happy with it.

Re: Rename or not?
OH, OH, OH...I know...I know! That's an easy one.
Your boat, you name it.
Unless you don't plan to keep it. Because when you peel off the old name, there's going to be a ghost of the old...

Re: Falling in a vessel at a boat show
My Catalina 315 is extremely unsafe. Not only are the companionway stairs steep with no handrails, sometimes they're at a 20 degree angle. In the dark!

Re: Sailing Boat Home ?
Inexperienced sailors and a boat that's new to them. Hell no.
I have many decades of experience, and recently bought a new to me 31 foot boat across Lake Michigan from me. I motored it home 85...

IMO, it was Obama's end game to nationalize health care in part to make it impossible for people to be fat. Or at least, way to expensive to be fat because you'd have to pay penalties for being...
