The time is coming close, when I am actually going to have to go out and DO all this wiring. I updated my wiring diagram on onedrive, which changed the photos on my original post from my hand sketch to the CAD file. https://n1kawa.bn.files.1drv.com/y4mQqUuYJs1BPqQqUIq6rAnrXeZ-T8pI5E2DqlLDir2BQsPLY6o...

Yes but for $660,000 USD you can buy a luxury motor-yacht from them with the following specifications: "The boat is class IV boat. Means a yacht designed to sail not more than 10 n miles from the shore and having a minimum designed wave height (Hs) of 1 m." https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/sig...

Zero chance that a purchase wouldn't end in disaster.

The Macgregors in the product photos look great, the actual product looks like $#!+. Even if a brand new one was $10k I wouldn't buy it on principle.

2) Any tips on how to tie off in the slip? I don't have a cleat midships so spring lines are off the list unless I add a midships cleat. My slip has a midship cleat, so I run a spring line from the bow cleat to that to serve as a spring. The stern line is something like 45 degrees off vertical, and...

http://www.macgregorsailors.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=16517 From my post on that thread: Based on some previous threads on this board, I too changed my prop after a bottom strike. I bought an OEM Honda 4 - 11.8 x 9 to replace the unmarked 3-blade that came with the boat. Honda BF50. Original 3-...

It just folds up and clicks into place without need for a bracket. The hinge has a little spring loaded pushbutton that clicks into place either fully up or fully down. The leg is still available on Amazon.com for $30 USD but is now $126 on Amazon.ca. Those shock cord holders from JTOutdoor are like...

And since I was going on the boat to get curtain photos, I brought a drill and installed the swing-leg under the table. Works perfectly: had to cut a few inches off the leg with a hacksaw, but the rubber foot was simple to pop out and reinstall. https://n1k9ia.bn.files.1drv.com/y4mHrbTa5pRGEpueAuKu6...

I'm going to redo the "curtain rods" in our boat with your shock cord idea. Do you know what you attached them with? These things are kind of spendy when you need a lot of them. --Russ Not sure...the things were already in the boat when I got them. I think I can get in the back now that we had a co...

Let the mainsheet out to spill wind and furl the jib. Sail slow. Until tolerance levels build up. Why modify a perfectly good sailboat? When we first started sailing my wife couldn't handle any heeling at all, but now we can hold full sail in 15kn. Takes time. Until then the skipper could control th...

Based on previous discussions on this board and elsewhere, I will be spending my sail replacement dollars either with BWYachts or Hyde. Both companies contribute to this forum, and are important resources for our boats. Peak has nothing positive going for them other than price. You get what you pay ...

Got home today and found fresh flowers from the garden in vases around the house...….. I hate you. In the nicest way possible of course. I just took out the compost a minute ago and snapped a photo of Bear Hunt in the back yard in her winter dress. https://ovlskg.bn.files.1drv.com/y4mzX8vOelVP6MPbs...

This is about the closest thing I can find to what I have: https://www.jtsoutdoorfabrics.com/Stayput-Shock-Cord-Knob--White_p_15393.html with the springy cord running through the curtain and hooking onto the knob. A non-openable curtain could be made by sewing up a simple hemmed rectangle and using ...

'sfunny, but I don't have a lot of photos of the inside of my boat. Here's one with the curtains in the background. She's under several feet of snow right now but I'd be happy to take up-close photos of the curtains and hardware, and take measurements, but it's gotta be just a bit closer to winter's...
