Sorry I have been away for awhile, but mother illness turned for the worst and lost her in August. I am ready to start back working on my 1992 26S. What would be the easiest way to pull new battery cable from the laz up to the power distribution panel or should I give up on that idea and mount the b...

Brings on a whole new meaning of raising the mast. LMFAO

Bimini is on the short list now. It was covered in bird droppings where previous owner had stored in a barn. Toying with idea of hooking some type of mister system on it. Similar to the ones used in poultry houses to keep the birds cool. Fill one of those stowable plastic water talks up with ice and...

Took most from my phone and they are grainy, but friend just sent this one.

Great being out there. I've got a short punch list to finish before next time. Dropped one of the circle keys over the side and luckily had a cotter pin handy in my toolbox. Just the little things that will drive you crazy. Hope it cools off sometime for the next sail. High temperature and humidity ...

Finally, got my 26S in the water. No major problems, but Tohatsu motor kept jumping out of reverse. Hotter than a firecracker though 95 degrees F with 90% humidity and not more than a whisper of wind. Sweated out a lot of bourbon from the night before though.

I can't remember where I saw this and trying to find now. A guy had taken a 26S and made a swim platform and had put a steering wheel system on his boat. If you know the link please post or email me.

I am using Pettit SR40 paint black below the Water line and Pettit Vivid Electric Blue on the walls with white top.

Thanks for the pic. That gives a great idea for the stern. Unfortunately, I am working outside in the pollen now in my driveway. I though about getting the kids swing set. it's one of the heavy wood ones made of 4X4's & 2X8's for the bow, but it is too short by a few inches. I guess I could use ...

Does anyone have a set of plans for boat stands? Ready to paint my '92 26S and need to get it up off the trailer. I can't get to the swing board as it is sitting on one of the trailer runners. Read several posts about using 4X4's but not to sure of how steady laterally that would be.

I applaud her. Teens now a days are lazy to a most part. If we did not have risk takers and dreamers, we wouldn't have gone to the moon or America wouldn't have been discovered. Maybe she will inspire some other teen to excel at something that most adults wouldn't or couldn't do and be the next Eins...

Me too!

Guys, thanks for all your posts. My son was posting under my name. He is an EE major and tends to go overboard. My Question is any recomendations for all this wire and stuff? Should we pull primary wire or duplex?
