Same Problem I had the same problem on the same boat. What we did was fill the keel cavity with lots of poly resin, then resealed the keel from inside the bilge. Took a while, but I think it cured the problem. We were concerned about the ballast being able to possibly move around inside the...

Sun Cover Replacement Thanks everyone. I understand the Singer 237 is the old school machine to use. Anyone have any experience with one or can suggest a similar machine that would do the same job? Has anyone bought UV Dacron bulk? Is this a job worth doing yourself? Last time I got it...

I'm planing on replacing the suncover on my genoa and am looking for a resource for material and maybe some advise on what used heavy duty sewing machines people have bought (ebay, Craigslist)to do this kind of job. My goal is to do this repair myself while gaining the tools and the knowledge...

What do these measurements mean in regards to a spinnaker: SL 41.23, SMW 21.18, MSD 53%. Also my boat partner says our mast is 32 ft, I thought it was 38 ft. How many options were offered for the 35-2? What range of luff measurements will work well for a spinnaker for this boat? I have many...

Thanks for your efforts it much appreciated!

What does the ATF do for your fuel? Also does anyone add acetone to there fuel? A few years ago it was all the rage to increase fuel economy in cars.

Using the out thru hull sounds like the best solution.... But won't the waste water mix with the new water below the Y fitting. Has anyone else done this? Do you attach the Y fitting right after the thruhull? Any pics available?

Im looking for a used sail resource in the Vancouver/Victoria BC area. I would like to get a spin or a drifter. Any suggestions?

Plumbing Sea Water in Galley I currently use the old bucket method to get sea water into the galley sink to do dishes. I would like to plumb sea water through a faucet or the existing old fresh water hand pump that is still mounted next to the sink without drilling another hole in the hull. I...
