wooden ring Ooops didn't attach a pic...

Little round rings Where can some one find the little round wooden rings that are used to pull up parts of the floor?

Pulled the floor out in about five hours. It came out fairly easy.. It was glued down. Now the fun starts figuring out what needs to be replaced under the floor. found why the floor was discolored the drain for the shower was leaking.

Doug, Just a thought... write the reply in a word document first so you don't loose it. Thanks for your persistence!

Doug, I emailed you directly. So you can try it that way. I can always post it for you if it comes through. Tim, Thanks for the encouragement about replacing the doors. Did you use bungs throughout the floor also? Any thoughts on if the trim was originally varnished. It looks that way…

I have already read the tread on teak and holly floor replacement… A few simple questions that have not been answered, On the E 38-200 it appears that the plywood goes under the aft door way trim. If that is the case is it possible to redo the floor without removing the doors/trim? It...

Bob, Where are you at in the inner track? My current 155 may be built a little larger than spected. The picture I sent shows where the sail is on the outer track. This year I installed a Garhauer adjustable cart system (great idea). Letting the track find its own sweet spot close...

You mentioned that you could only achieve proper trim using the outside track. We haven't seen that. I wonder if it could have to do with the age of the sail you're planning to replace? The age of the sail in this picture is about 4 years old... This pic is 3 years old. I haven't notice a...

Here is the current 155 on the boat... The inner track is about 1.5 short when the furling is fully extended. The 3DL doesn't stretch much at all.

I'm not itching to spend money but the 135 I have is stretched to the top of the mast and is not furling properly and doesn’t have proper shape. I think can have it remade so it still works. I plan on purchasing another and I do some club racing and the 155 I had has won handily when the winds...

Simple put... why go with a 155 genoa? I think that is the basic question I'm trying to get my hands around. We have light to heavy breeze air with out much waves.

I presently, delaminated my 155 genoa and have been in a quandary about what size the new genoa should be. Sailing for light are conditions vs. the heavy air and furling the genny. Both my main and genoa are North 3DL sails. I very much like the performance of these sails, but at the same...

AC Location Ted, I have a mental block as to the name of the air unit (It is a 12000 btu reverse cycle air conditions/heater). It might be a Adler Barbour or that might be the name of the frig; all my paper work is down at the boat. To answer the rest of your questions: I did not need...

The Harbor Queen Steve, To answer your question and then some: The boat was purchased from a marine on Lake Michigan. It spent most of its winter life stored indoors, and summering in fresh water until I purchased it 5 years ago. It looked almost new the prior owners lightly used it. They...

You've guessed correctly. Lake City and the only 38 there. How did you figure it out? Any suggestions on paint. I don't think it’s a high priority question on a mechanical page. Maybe in the future my boat will develop larger problems that can be solved here. :) Great site. Should...
