She really looks sharp, the black stripe just pops. I bet your speed increases by no less than 20%!!!

Hey group, purchased a used spinnaker for next season. I did order the Halyard relocation kit from bwyachts.com along with the whisker pole they recommend. I was going to ask if anyone else has done this install and any advice or reason to deviate from their included i structions which appear compre...

Looks like a great start-- Looking forward to updated pictures!

I guess they would want revenue generation from this but seems like they would understand a lot of negative downstream effects from an economy built on tourism for many of outlying (and main) islands. Maybe they dont bring in much money from smaller boats and for larger superyacht type boats its pro...

Looks like good company!

Had my sonar and depth guage lines cut thru. I have a garmin sonar on left that is a bottom mapper, depth guage and fish finder. The right is an older paddle wheeler speed and depth guage. The lines were irregularly cut and frayed. Initially I thought by an errant fishing lure but the marina thinks ...

Great encouragement guys, Lots of good information and arguments for raising the mast on the water. I think my favs were: stepping onto the dock instead of going up and down the ladder falling off the boat means falling in the water or to the dock, and not 6ft to the ground Im am seriously consider...

I always launch now before raising my mast. And I lower on the water. I tie off to a dock and i make sure my CB and rudders are down and water ballast is in. Those all make the boat more stable when raising and lowering. Frankly it makes it easier for whoever is helping me -instead of having to clim...

I have had this for about a year. It's tough and stands up to some abuse. If it gets dirt or food stains, so far, they just come right off by scrubbing with warm water. The final picture I posted is an example before doing maintenance cleaning which I do whenever it catches my attention but only ta...

Go with the 26X no regrets with having a family as crew.

In NE Ohio just east of you! Send a message !

I made an anchor riding sail for my 26X backstay.it works by using the wind to stopthe boat from swinging by "sailing" the back od the boat to the wind. I raise it with my spare jib halyard. Its relatively small at 3x6ft. The nice thing is that it can be adjusted on the fly if wind directi...

Sounds like a problem for a professional.

Just met as I was sailing by. Told him to come check the website.
