Re: Latest Mac Video
Niiiice! Makes me wish it was summer again.
Where'd you get the SS grab bar on the sliding hatch, by the way? The admiral wants me to add some similar bars on the hatch and companionway sides to make ingress/egress easier.

@Tom
Thanks, glad you liked the vids..
Main hatch grab bar was a gift from Highlander, he bought it from a marine store that has a room full of this and that.
Knowing him, he probably talked the guy down to 5 bucks....
The side grab bars with the blue led came from Princess auto 30 bucks each
They are all very much appreciated by all that sail with me.. apparently I tend to like a lot of heel...
@ seahouse and Obelix.. Thanks! Glad you liked them

I was thinking he talked the guy into paying HIM $5 each.beene wrote:Knowing him, he probably talked the guy down to 5 bucks....![]()
WM has some bars for surprisingly little money, like $22 for a 24" SS bar with studs. To keep the admiral happy, I'll be adding some bars when the tarp comes off.

Re: Latest Mac Video
Thanks for the vids, John.
And Geoff - I shoulda' looked at your bowsprit when I was there last summer, but didn't think of it. Did you post any info on that mod on this site? I don't know if it's possible to do on an
, but it looks like an interesting project. Given the extreme heel in the third vid, and the fact that the sprit didn't fold, I guess it's strong enough to last.

Re: Latest Mac Video
You're right John it's been a long winter. Nice videos to watch especially during this snowstorm.
Geoff, I like your idea of using tilex on those strips. Although I think your cabin boy should have been scrubbing instead of filming
