Roller or hanks Does the jib have hanks or is made for a roller Furler ?

Has anyone used the new Awlwood MA that is marketed by Awlgrip?

Salmon 2 years ago on the "Bridge to Bridge" race from Astoria OR to Newport OR, we had just put up the spinaker and threw out the hand lines with some plugs and hoochies when we started catching the silvers then we hooked a nice Chinook. We had to stop fishing or take the beer out of the...

Blue Rhino On the bbq size metal tanks you just have to take them to a place that sells "Blue rhino" or another exchange place, bring in the empty tank get a shinier new one. I believe Home Depot, Lowe's, Menards, Walmart and almost everybody else sells them. The small camping size green size...

"on TV" On Ship Shape TV they stated 1 canister is equivalent to 1 gallon of gas at full throttle. I like the idea of of not having to worry about a 3rd fuel. And the new composite propane tanks are really lightweight.

West Marine I see that West Marine has them, 5hp short shaft for 1599.00 The world's first propane-powered outboard marine engine. Great for sailboats, dinghies, tenders, fishing boats, pond prowlers, canoes and other small watercraft. Powerful 4-stroke engine uses 110 octane fuel but is...

Roller and new head sail I am looking at adding roller furling and going with a 145%, any input on which furler people have I'm considering CDI. I have a 135 now and it doesn't seem to have enough in the general conditions for us.

walk the deck Walk the deck and look for soft spots, check for leaking windows. Gas or Diesel?

Sad to see it for sale I haven't sailed on this boat but I have inspected it twice for the Bridge 2 Bridge race and can confirm that it is a solid fast boat and whoever buys it will be getting a winner. So does this mean you will be racing something else in the B2B next year?????

Practice I found that by filling the fuel tank up and practicing till it's about empty that I can now successfully back up our E29 with Max-prop fairly well. If the wind is blowing over 15knts then I am the best in the marina at doing a prop-walk 360 turn. I've also noticed that when the...

Muriatic acid and Odorlos The muriatic acid MIXED PROPERLY did the trick on ours, worst problem is that the water coming into the head is seawater and gets stinky fast. Odorlos is the best treatment I have found I now use it in my travel trailer too, takes a few complete flushes of the tank to...

Join the club Just hang out with a whole lot of other boats from that era and and nobody will notice.

Raymarine I used the raymarine ones, they seen to fit ok.
