Until they have this resolved we have de-activaed chat. We've opened a support incident with Envolve and they will hopefully have this corrected soon.

Re: Advice on O'Day 22

We owned one back in the 70's-80's. Very simple boat, yet a forgiving design. Since we had previously owned a swing keel boat, we felt the O'Day was much more stable and sailed better.

Re: sailing in a thunderstorm

Some years ago a boat racing on our inland lake was hit by lightning. Being a trailer-sailer you would think it would go through the swing keel. Instead, it came down the shrouds and entered the...

Re: Stylish and effective sailing hat

I second the motion for Tilley. Found mine at REI and, though not what you would consider fashionable, it keeps the sun off and is relatively cool in these hot Texas summers.

Re: Wonderfully 'quirky' interior

Doesn't anyone remember "20,000 Leagues Under The Sea"? Looks like Captain Nemo has been there.

Pretty neat.

Re: Progressive Insurance

My boat isn't up to the value of yours (10k), but I've had very good service with Progressive. They stepped in last year when the wind caught us in the marina and threw us into our neighbors.

Re: Whisker Pole Sticker Shock

There's a nice article in the May/June issue of Good Old Boat that shows you how to make your own whisker pole for about $50. I'm going to adapt the idea to use for awning poles.

Re: Choosing a slip at the Marina

Re: Choosing a slip at the Marina

I was also concerned about insurance. My homeowners policy covers boats, but the marina conglomerate wanted to be on the policy as an additional insured. Hartford said no.

You might do a search overseas. When we were in Scotland we saw a large number of sailboats with shoal draft TWIN keels. When the tide was out, they were resting on the bottom still tied up in...
