"Maximum Capacity in Whole Persons" :O

Agreed.

I hate coming to a place and finding out that I'm already there.

This is one of the few sites I can come to where I can be assured I'm not already logged in.

Kudos MacFo for your superior user experience!

This is a known problem and occurs across all platforms.

I know the first one has been around a long time. Doesn't bother me.

Didn't know about the second one.

i am in the process of making an aluminum fuel tank that goes under the stern berth, in ali, with fill and venting to the outside, so no smells trying to get the weight lower, and free up some space in the cockpit. found plastic ones that would fit, but really didnt like the idea of them not being ...

... the site makes me relog in constantly.

This happens to me every time.

And yes, I check the 'Remember Me' .

... reply to a post and get sent to the log in page again...

This does not happen to me.

I'm too chicken to try the spinny - esp. since I'm singlehanding most of the time.

I'll get by on my 150 Jenny.

Cape Lookout, NC.

(I guess I don't get a prize for sleuthing, since your profle sez you're in NC...)

By the way, I experienced a very strange phenomenon this weekend: we were sailing on a beam reach setup when suddenly the wind turned 90 degrees and blew from the bow. There was no warning and the change was so sudden that we almost fell from the cockpit seats. It felt like bumping into an invisibl...

An auto pilot surely helps in a lot of situations. Or so I imagine.

I figured if I took some courses the wife would be more at ease I found a marked difference in the mate's comfort level correlated with my own ease. On my first boat I was jumping all around the boat like a rabid squirrel - up to the mast, back to the pit, up to the jib, back to the pit, throwing h...

When my preventer is set, you could imagine a line from the end of the swayed out boom running to the bow pulpit and pulled taut. So that I don't have to go up to the bow of the boat to set it, I just run the free end of the line through a block which attaches to the pulpit (it just lays on the dec...

Whenever I sail WOW, even in light air, I set a preventer. I have preventer lines rigged at all times on both sides of the boat, so I can easily set a preventer without having to go out of the way. I attach 50 foot lines to the rear stanchions on both sides of the boat. The lines run along the boat...

Single-handing, heading home, up L. Ontario coast, wing-on-wing in 20 knots wind. I saw 7.8 knots downwind on the GPS! No question I was planing. But my jenny just would not stay full, flopping back and forth, making the whole boat shudder every time it filled. So I went to the mast to jerry-rig a b...

My head has 2" PVC flex pool hose. It turns black after a season. In the bilge, it's even worse. Gawd, I hope it isn't the dreaded black mould - in which case I'm slowly killing myself every time I sleep aboard. I went to clean it all but gave up and just ripped it all out, to be replaced with new p...

BTW, I also use a single loop of bungie as a tie-down.
