Re: Where are the younger people?

For cryin' out loud, I scored a Hobie 16 for $100 with a trailer and a complete set of functional sails!

I agree that income has not kept pace with living costs, but come on, how cheap does it...

Re: changing helm style

I feel like a wheel eliminates one of your senses, sort of like losing your hearing or sense of touch, but I fully understand that some boats are simply better sailed with a wheel than a tiller.

Re: changing helm style

A fellow Sailnett'er has an Edson wheel installed in her O'day 25. (She hates it)

I call it a disaster. Due to the transom-hung rudder, it required cutting holes where there really shouldn't be a...

Just store the cans outside (but don't let them get rusty) and try to have some ventilation while you're cooking.

You could install a CO...

Three cheers for Chuckles

I got to meet Chuck today, and scope out his Irwin.

Chuck gave me some parts that will keep two Good Old Boats in fighting trim, and I just wanted to give him a public thanks.

Thanks Chuck! :)

Re: Rebuild head, or replace, and with what?

A friend of mine has that exact toilet, and he has had to rebuild his pump every two years. He actually keeps a spare, and just swaps them. I think the Groco toilet is terrible.
