coffee I to use an aeropress and it makes great coffee . Simple to use ez to clean up , takes up very little space. All positive point for a small boat.

shop vac When at the hardware store for the disinfectant get 2 ft of clear hose a little smaller than the holes .tape it to the van hose . Cut the hose at an angle and use it to suck out water.

bilge cleaning I also have an e 28 + with the same difficulty. Rinse the bulge first. Use a heavy-duty water pump to pump the water out each time you fill it up . Add a quatenary disinfectant fill it up let it soak 5 min . Then pump it out. Air flow is key to drying it out, so a fan pointed...

#3 I sailed on a 911 for 4 years in the S f bay 30 fleet . The # 3 is sheeted on inside. When off the wind you either rig a outside sheet or put up the spinnaker , if the wind is far enough aft. If you are just out for a day sail you live with the bad angel off the wind, or you put up a...

I would show for this inside or outside the bay. Coyote Point Yacht Club would host if there is an intrest. Vince

boat to crew on The beer cans at most yacht clubs is a good place jump on a boat. I'm at Coyote point in San Mateo our beer cans start April 7th. If she will show up at 5:30-5:45 she will get a ride. Also may find a boat to crew on for the week end races. I won't be a regular attendee this...

I Do use a pole for the sym kite but not the a-sail just didn't make that clear, we have finished a race kite up looking good with a broken pole on the deck. Vincent
