Thanks! I ordered a bottle on Amazon just now :)

I put my AIS (same one) in that place too. But my VHF is hanging above the upper shelf, so I was able to stick a 9" B&G chart plotter where your VHF is without impacting the AIS, and back just far enough not to obstruct the nav table lid.

Late to the party with my 2c ... The cabintop traveller is a performance compromise from the designer: mainsail control leverage is lost the further forward on the boom the mainsheet is attached, but the main benefit of a cabintop traveler is that the cockpit is much less cluttered - it's a...

Naptha and Xylene are common adhesive removers (and thinners). The acetone in the above mix will help with evaporation/drying. In the spray format, you might not get the same solvent concentration on the targeted work surface (losses to evaporation and overspray?) You might try 'Painter's...

Looks like you're making great use of some teak & holly panels remaining from the saloon floor job?

Great. Thanks. Only after selecting 7/16” plywood and building my boxes, did I read that you had used three-quarter inch marine grade plywood on your second set. So, I have wrapped the outside of my boxes with a layer of fiberglass cloth. And I glued quarter round on all inside corners to, try...

Hi Christian, I have my jerry can storage boxes built. Next step is painting Did you include a drain hole in one of the corners of the base? It occurred to me, that, since they tip out words, rainwater and spray will accumulate inside the lower after corner.

The April issue carries David Blake Fischer's interview of Christian. I thought it was pretty good. ... it will very likely generate a spike in new orders for Christian's books and views of his YouTube channel ;-) ... might even prompt a little extra interest in Ericsons too?

Thanks. If interested in selling it, I may be interested if it’s a bit bigger than mine (which was designed as a slightly oversized storm jib). Thanks.

I finally had the right weather and enough time (and motivation) last weekend to try again. I’ve attached a pic of the system I used: end of mouse line woven through about 15” of light steel chain, with a small fishing weight attached to the end; and a strong magnet with a light tether to go...

Just curious - what are the dimensions of the staysail?

I think that the main goal of your first inspection will be to come away with either an overall positive or negative 'feeling' of whether or not the package as presented is a good fit for you (budget, location, overall condition and features, and especially the layout and how you'd like to use...

I just looked at the pics ... really nice condition! I has quite a lot of extra usable space compare to my 32-3's layout.

I also have the same swivel connection (by Maxwell). I have a Vulcan Rocna anchor (curved shank - no roll-bar), which likes to hang in the wrong orientation when trying to get the end of the shank over the bow roller. I have to give the anchor a kick to turn it so I can get it over the roller. I...

I don't have a folding prop - just the original 2-blade fixed prop - probably OEM.
