Re: Foam Floatation...Is it needed?

Kadet, When I purchased Nice Aft in 2004, I ordered it with a lot of options to be installed by the dealer. One of those was a thirty gallon (113 Liters) water bladder with an electric pump. Otho installed it in the very same area you are inquiring about. It has been there all of this time. I also ...

Re: first picture for tatto 26

Anyone notice the bunks on the trailer? They are perpendicular to the axel. It also looks like there may be a roller or something extra under the bow.

Re: Dry Tortugas Bound.

Cpt. Ron
I see you made it to Oceanside Marina. When do you plan to head out to the Tortugas?
Don't forget, if you make it into town, look me up at Key West Bait and Tackle.
BTW, we had a great day sail today!

Re: Water ingress into aft berth in 26M

(And DON'T tell me to carry a six foot latter around with me everywhere I go - that's dumb). I purchased a three-step folding stepstool from Home Depot that fits perfectly in the backseat so it is kept secure from theft while I'm sailing.

Re: Another neat new product...sugru

Re: Blood Stain Remover

I was out with a friend and the "Admiral-in-law" and some how I got a pin prick on my finger. I was unaware of it until I noticed my red flecked spinnaker sheet had some extra red on it. While the spinnaker was up she "requested" an immediate return to shore. As I was dousing th...

That's chlorine bleach. I was wondering if anyone had ever tried oxygen bleach. Does oxygen bleach have an effect on sale longevity?
