    Tool Reviews [Master Thread]

    I’ve seen those on a few boats. Do they still sell them? I’d love to get my paws on one. Not only does the battery not die, you can use it under water!

    Alternatives to cotter pins in turnbuckles

    I guess I never thought about it. I just used cotter pins because that is what everyone else was doing. I really like the bolt with a locking nut or the rings. I’ll try and be less like a lemming...

    Why the name Ericson?

    Lol, wait until you get an ericson with a hull number 666. You get all kinds of looks. No idea of the origin, but I loved the Viking, or in my case devil horns. I thought about changing the name to devil at one point...

    Sailpack or mainsail cover

    Uh yeah, spectra is dead and shut down! Well until we find out he really isn’t dead, just in a secret hospital in the alps planning his revenge. But yeah, I did upgrade to a 30ft boat (so now we have a door between us and the kids!!!!!). A lot of the canvas needed replacing. So I’m going...

    Sailpack or mainsail cover

    So I’m about to start my next sewing project. I ordered the sailpack from sailrite, but I’m not sure I want it anymore. A traditional cover would be easier to make, but I think a sailpack would be easier when our at sail. While the admiral likes to be out with me, she isn’t as passionate as me...

    2019 Rendez Vous Loction-Poll

    Ha! Yeah it is close to about 3000 now with maybe 20-30 aftershocks over 4.0. They water changes rapidly but mostly mostly it is the dense wind. Maybe someone smarter than me knows better, but since it is colder, it hits harder. Apparently a 15k wind is stronger here than a 15k wind in the...

    "Philosophy of Sailing": Ericson 38 Solo to Hawaii

    Put it off!!! I typically only buy audiobooks when they are read by the author. It adds authenticity. Also, you get all the real feeling and emotion the author felt when he or she was writing it. I totally get what you mean by voice actors... my wife bought the new book by Woodward and I was...

    Wow! Now I will definitely purchase the audio version. I thought you read it through and maybe did a couple retakes and edits. You sold me! You’re my hero.

    Replacing cushions

    I’ve had a blast with my machine. I’ve sown through some pretty heavy canvas with it. If the machine Boggs down, it has a hand wheel to roll it through a zipper and a couple layers of canvas.

    Replacing cushions

    No no no... the machine is amazing!! Me, not so much... I’m not professional quality. In my defense, I’m not making dresses, it is mostly sewing straight lines, squares, and circles. My only complaint is that I wish the arm was a little longer. But I bought the compact one for a reason.

    "Philosophy of Sailing": Ericson 38 Solo to Hawaii

    Has there been a release of the audio version? The first one was way worth listening to Christian tell it in his own voice.

    Crazy day!!!

    Nothing structural but some decent cracks in Sheetrock, a lot of plumbing and boiler issues. As far as the stuff inside... it was a yard sale. Christmas wish list: 1- dishes...
