Re: sailing has changed my life

PTSD. Sailing, actually just being on the water, help bring a happiness and calm. I will be offering time on the water to other vets this year.

Re: Varnish brushes

Enjoyable thread. I will use what is cheap and available for the first two or even three coats. That includes a paper towel. Those are well sanded. The final coat is excellent with a foam brush,...

Re: What's your biggest bonehead move sailing?

Re: Purchasing Sunken boats

That sounds like a wreck that is worth less than $0.00. You should be able to find something that is not wet and broken with a little searching.

Re: Which winch?

Take yours apart and see what they look like inside. Have springs and pawls handy because those are good at jumping overboard. As someone who has been doing automotive and truck mechanics all my...

Re: How did you get the money for your first sailboat?

Re: VHF Radio in the cockpit

The PO cutout a small cubby to locate the autopilot out of the way. I mounted the RAM next to it. Due to size it sticks out, but I like having it close by.

Re: Sandy's Really a Bitch

Balony.

You are very mistaken about donations to the organizations that are doing hurricane relief this very minute and will continue to do so for months.

Re: When is the wind speed too much?

I grew up on the Great Lakes. Which explains a few things about my likes and dislikes about sailing on the Chesapeake Bay.

Re: When is the wind speed too much?

Sailing gets fun in that wind. It depends on what you like. I see people coming in to the marina any time the breeze goes above 10 kts. Others go out when it is putting a little white on the wave...

Re: A Sobering Realization

No answer for the finish details, one thing is to consider putting in a couple of red lights or white/red lights. Those are very handy.

Re: I saw the USS Constitution under sail!

Yeah, like if they had brought the old girl to Baltimore in June so she could have sunk one of the Brits boats. For old times sake of course.
