Thanks for replying. No, we don't have folding bikes. If you're saying it's tight with folding bikes, it'll definitely be so with non-folding. I was hoping to strap them on deck or something but it might not be worth it.

Mike, can you provide information on the breaker? I will pick one up and keep as a spare since this seems to be a problem that may pop up based on at least a couple of folks experience.

I have been in the process of getting ready to do a refit of my Cascade 36 Puff which was hull 21 from Yacht Constructors Inc. I want to put the aluminum toe rails that Cascade has used on many of her sailboats. I repeatedly called & emailed the n...
I have the 3-bladed fixed prop and the shallow draft keel as well. The folding prop can also improve sailing speed, but at the expense of motoring speed.
