I've seen that marine railway on TV. That is so cool.

Hey Kevin, do you have the puffin design in a high res image. I blew it up and it got blurry.

Fortunately, Kevin lives not far from me, and his metallurgy skills have saved the day. I have though, ordered a spare pair for the next time. Kevin may not be close at hand :D Ray https://i.postimg.cc/6ymR3PWG/1457953-A-4-D20-4094-BE82-870-E59-B6-BEE0.jpg Me getting instruction on how to temper th...

Thank you very much everyone for the insights into deck wear that works. Still winter here in North Idaho, but spring will come. I'll be ready and so will my Mac 26M. Larry Long winters provide lots of time for planning and dreaming. It's 11 degrees here in SW Montana. You should put your location ...

Looking forward to your posts. You have come a long way in a short time. Are you sure this is Gelcoat issue? Looks like some stubborn grime/mildew. I would bleach this heavily first to be sure. I'm a big fand of Mary Kate On&Off. It melts away stuff like magic. https://i.imgur.com/2BkU8gj.jpg

Dark soled shoes leave marks.

I usually wear sneakers and kick them off when sitting in the cockpit. I hate wearing shoes. I know "deck" shoes are supposed to be for on deck. I sometimes wear them.

If there is no bottom paint on the boat now, it is a bit more involved. Sanding, dewaxing, priming, epoxy etc.

When I had a keelboat, I would lightly sand before painting. Old paint habit.

interesting. Well, concerning achors, the Rocna might be good. But the Jambo is far way better. Wins all tests. Good holding power is for years standard. But the grabbing quality makes the deal. How easily the anchor holds. Comfort if it works the first time. Life saving if it digs in in strongs wi...

Some cool looking model aircraft back there.

We have a planning forum, but now we have a trip report forum. Share your ship's log with other sailors.

Here you can post stories and photos of trips with your boat. Share experiences with other owners be it a weekend outing or a long cruise of the great loop.

I realize I’m [several years] late to the party here, but the Admiral has an embroidery machine, and I’m pretty handy with the ol’ Sailrite. A burgee seems a little simpler than cushions and boom covers, at least! More durable than silkscreen, and I’m content with the materials cost plus a l’il bit...

Not sure - I look at the top and it says BOAT and there is a picture of my ugly face so I think I might be a log. Hey! I just noticed I have a Bell with a red 1 and a Notification! I will look in there. (Nope - that wasn't it) I guess PDF files no worky here for me - I don't rate high enough for th...

Awesome.

The tweaks you mention should work well.

Now you can pull it out on the street and hose it off. I bet some bleach will do wonders. Marykate On & Off cleaner will remove stubborn stuff. Just be careful with that stuff as it's very toxic.

Why no letter? I was thinking of Tattoo sailors. But there are VERY few of those boats manufactured and honestly, most feel the connection to the Mac brand. MY vote is for this one https://i.postimg.cc/JGWTCmtY/Pennant2-zps3374de77.jpg Simple and has the M (mac) connection. The Puffin is cute, but ...
