pulling

Finally the day has come to replace the 30 year old rigging after an adjuster rusted through on the forward lower stay. Luckily nothing lost but more of a wonderful day of sailing and no injuries with the mast and sails left intact. My question has to do with disconnecting the electrical for a...

I've not had any leaks (that I know of!) surrounding the mast, but there are some cracks along the base of the mast and while I am working on other cracks/crazing/gouges I thought I would take care of the cracks at the mast as well. But, if this is a larger issue I might need to pull the mast...

I'll be pulling my 27' (1976) out of the water next month and would appreciate some opinions. First the bottom paint, I'm in the Gulf, Florida panhandle and have been hearing some good reviews on the Interlux Micron 66. I plan on doing some extensive sailing this year around the gulf, the keys...

I recently aquired a 1978 E34T that has had a rough past 10 years. It is in good shape except the portside chainplate is pulling away from hull and through deck (deck has alittle rot which also needs repair). Any ideas on how to fasten it to the hull better? and would the deck rot cause the...
