Resesved I have my mooring reserved and will be there in the early afternoon. Hey Pride of Cucamonga do you monitor Ch 16? I'll give a shout while crossing. I'll leave around 9am. Dave Neptune:cool:

Creeking My ole 1970 began creeking many years ago. It was the bulkheads creeping in the slots of the overhead supports. They were originally set in a rubbery gasket like material. To fix I scraped around under and behind where I could around the tops of the bulkhean and then injected a...

Cool Jeff, if your in Emerald my mooring is A-2 and I'm there quite a few weekends. Dave Neptune:cool:

Perhaps I may be in Emerald that weekend and for sure will be this weekend:egrin:. If I get to the Isthmus I'll look you guys up. Dave Neptune :cool: Volador E-35MKII

Fwiw I have a 1970 E35-MKII # 136 wooden spreaders and double lowers. I have had her since March of 1983 and did all new statding 5 years ago. Not to hi-jack the thread but I have been having a problem with the lower spreaders "drooping" aand it's not the side the burgees are hung on. Any...

Tha dinett In the MK-II 35's set up with the dinett you could have the engine mounted from the factory in either position. If you went diesel you lost a bit of the bunk cushion. Those with the setee (bunk on each side and a folding table~rare) and not the dinett were all mounted aft. I have...

Ah the Osprey I had an Osprey take up my masthead as a dining table for a year or so after loosing my masthead wind indicator. It was a bit fun to watch it while he was hanging around and even dinning. The prevailing wind actually made the mess worse for my neighbor. I finally picked up another...

Ouch svein, I have seen shall we say seen worse ways to loose an anchor and seeing a few lost over the years just reinforces something I was taught by my sailing budy who taught me to sail. Alway secure the bitter end:). I often drop the hook here in the LA harbor for lunch or an evening BBQ...

Ho-hum Well that was my 7th year in a row of working the CYC booth and the first time I actually headed it up. This year and last were very slow when compared to just a couple of years ago. Lots of sellers and not many buyers. Although this year those in the "know" were there however due to an...

Just a heads up for you that are close to Newport Beach. Minnies will be hosting it's anual "Swap :egrin: Meet" this sunday morning starting at O-dark thirty. I will be working the Corsair Yacht Clubs booth so if your there stop by and say howdy. Lots of deals for those who arrive...

Fwiw Derek, I had a similar problem with my ole' 35 and it turned out to be the drain hose from the icebox got pulled out of position woorking on something else. The drain hose had been pulled back up under the cabinetes and was creating a wet spot (I use the boat a lot), upon investigation...

Check em' Leon, the ground paths should not be an issue. I dothink that possibly the swtch is not wired properly. The grounds (one from each battery) just hook directly to the block and require no switching. First the positive leads should go direct from the battery to the switch and be tied...

Maybe Sven, Ganall Lumber in OC may have it. They have suprised me with the hardwood and "sheet" type construction materials in that particular yard it's huge. Oh yeh, lots of construction trucks to dodge. tenders, are the same "tenders"I have run into elsewhere? I saw your post for McM Carr...

Read the label Well guys, I went to the boat last night to check on the can of Dentured Alchohol or read the label! I am a bit embarrased as to what was on the label. This I bought at OSH 2 weeks ago and it is the same that I have been using for a few years now, since gettin an OSH account. It...
