Re: When is heel angle too much?
The capsize screening formula shows 2.41 for the M22. It shows 2.02 for the 26x, and 1.96 for the 26m. Compare your boat’s value to 2.0 to get a sense of how susceptible it is to capsize. The further over 2.0 you get, the less stable the boat. The CSF for a Sunfish is 3.25 to give you some feel for ...

Re: Boat back in slip, but took too long!
I don’t disconnect or move anything that I don’t absolutely have to. If I do disconnect it and or move it, I keep it as close to where it goes as possible.

Re: Garage
Sounds like you’ve got your priorities dialed-in! I brought mine into the opening slowly until the mast got too close to the top of the opening. Then, I raised the jack until I got the clearance I needed. Then, I painted a white stripe on the jack so I can always raise it to the right spot. If I don...

My guess would be chopped strand mat.

Re: Hot Hub
You’re probably fine. Caliper May have stopped ‘floating’ or the piston might have had some crud on it. After you exercised it a bit, it corrected itself.
I was mostly just pulling your leg.

My worst nightmare - a problem that won’t stay broke long enough for me to find it and fix it.

Re: 1992 26S leak under Head
Yes. You should do whatever you can to find the leak issue before cutting up the floor.ChillPill26S wrote: ↑Wed Oct 11, 2023 4:50 am ...I may need to get it off the trailer to get under and check before cutting the floor up...
Borescope, smoke, dye, leak test, etc.

Re: 1992 26S leak under Head
When you say “I could hear air…”, was your ballast vent closed while you were filling the tank? Or was the air sound AFTER filling? It seems that you might be saying you heard air AFTER the tank was filled and soap was added. If that is the case, it is hard to imagine you could hear air rushing into...
