We don't have a spinnaker. There have been times when I'd have loved to have one but we just can't justify the space.
What I do recommend is being set up to pole out that big ole' genoa. We also have a large genoa and when its strung out with the...
I think you have that a bit backwards. He's right when he writes about a vacuum gauge. Most diesel engines have a mechanical or electrical fuel pump mounted after the primary filter. So there is no pressure in that line. A vacuum gauge would be th...
2 places that come to mind are Factory Creek in Beaufort, SC and South Beach in Miami. Factory Creek anchorage leaves you with less than a half mile walk to a large grocery store while liquor and a laundry are closer.
In South Beach you can actua...
The sooner you start moving the better. You'll soon find that there are groceries within walking distance of a lot of anchorages. No need to be transporting 9 tons of food down the ICW. A 2 week supply of food is plenty. Some places the walk is a ...
Seems like no matter where I go, there I am!

If you want information about KW or have stories to share this is the place.
Franc of sv Can Drac told me they used Skype when they could pick a free signal on their recent travels. They enhanced this capacity with a kit from Netgate. (btw - super helpful Customer Service - maybe it's since they live in Hawaii).
Since I'm ...
I have a 43, and it too can experience weather helm. Aggressive use of the traveller helps. I changed the sheaves in the traveller to ball bearing ones in place of the standard ones to reduce the effort required in heavier winds. It helped. Lewmar...
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.
Thanks

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...
