Yesterday in the Chesapeake.

We sailed as well or out sailed other sailboats in our class with our new sails.

Left a comment on his video where he used my YouTube content. Let Old Boat Saolor know he is ignorant on Macs.

Apparently somebody got in touch with Triad trailers and recently ordered one for their 26x. The Triad owner call me and needed to do some measurements on my trailer to confirm the dimensions since it's been a while. I mentioned that we talked about widening the trailer a little bit and a mod on the...

Finally got to sail in small craft advisory weather with the new sails. Awesome! No scary violent healing and round up. Was able to furel the 135 Genoa with the luff line and use the jib blocks. Worked as designed. Kept the shape and improved the point. Have not tuned the luff line yet. Double reefe...

Got busy in life and didn't have time to finish it up for production. Figured nobody would pay cost near double the $600.

Got rid of round up by bottoming out the forestay then tuning our rig. That's a bit vague. I assume you man shortened your forestay as much as possible. Mine is as short as it can be, and it is VERY difficult to attach, meaning there's no way of shortening it more. As for tuning, that's what we've ...

The aluminum fortress anchors are not to be trusted. We've been caught in bad weather many times and they don't hold. Keep one in the locker for quick deployment. Would never trust to hold while we are sleeping. For real security we use the Lewmar Claw Anchor (16.5 lbs). Drop it in and forget about ...

We've used the Garhauer Rigid Boom Vang since day one purchase in 2005. Would not sail without it.

Highly recommend.

My winter project.

We added shore power and upgraded the DC panel a long time ago.

100% worth the trouble.

Pro tip: Spray all connection with CRC battery terminal spray (red). The spray will capillary into the wires. After sitting the spay is very sticky like grease deep inside so it does not wash away. Zero issues since 2005. Including spade connections that got soaked in the bilge. Done this many times...
