I finally decided it was time to clean up the ice box covers. All in it took almost 2 weeks, and about 15-20 hours but the end result was very satisfying! Here’s a 3 minute video time-lapse: First Step, starting the project. I took home the small cover and started getting an idea of what I...

I've been seeking plastic suppliers for deck hardware bases. This site also has lots good stuff for instrument panels, engine panel covers, etc. A helpful site: https://www.tapplastics.com/product/plastics/cut_to_size_plastic I've also been looking for some exotic woods for a few small...

On Oct. 7th we had a nor'easter rip through Long Island Sound, and it kicked up 50 knot winds and 6 foot waves at Morris Cove in New Haven harbor. The Aluminum casting on the bow was broken in half and the rub rail came loose all the way to the stern. The force of the pennant also broke part of...

I'm sure that isn't the right name for them which might explain why I haven't found them by Googling :-) I'm talking about the plastic ones, like the ones in the attached pictures. I'd like to get a bunch of them to replace the metal ones on Senta II. Any ideas ? Thanks, -Sven

In the 80s (today ?) a lot of higher quality boats had settee hatches (and seat areas) coated in what looked like fiberglass (without any roving or mat). IOW the surface looked like it was covered with thick white plastic. I'd like to go through Senta II (née Serendipity) and put on the same...

Hi All, I'm going to replace most of the original instruments in the cockpit in the near future. (Old Loran repeater, Knotmeter, Compass and Depth). I've seen both white plexiglass and wood (teak or other) used as the cover for the old hole and as the mounting point for the new instruments...

I saw technical literature on this somewhere most likely on this list, but I couldn't find it with the search. Can anyone providing the engineering rational to justify and/or dismiss aluminum, Stainless, or plastic. thanks shaun :confused:

This weekend, June 18th, Port Royal Yacht Club in Redondo Beach is hosting a "Classic Plastic" regatta. They've been promoting it for a while and our boat is entered, but I guess I didn't realize how big a deal it is. Its a regatta for fiberglass boats designed prior to 1980. Our 1970...

Anyone know where to get new ones? They snap into the mast and mine are pretty brittle. Any chance Kenyon still sells these? I am referring to the exits on a 1989 E 38-200.
