Is it too early to commission my engine for the season?

My boat goes into the water on April 27 and I was going to go down and de-winterize the engine today, is too early, are there any negatives to it sitting around or no?

Re: Icebox with no drain hole in the bottom??

My icebox also has no drain. I put my ice in one of those small plastic "trash cans", but any little bucket would do . I find it doesn't take up much room, and it makes dumping the ice out much...

Re: I am 26, and seriously considering moving aboard with my girlfriend. Any advice?

Sorry, let me add a little more. Eventually, yes we would like a house, but we'd like to take 6 or 7 years and liveaboard and cruise the lakes. I am fairly handy and would do many repairs on my own....

Re: I am 26, and seriously considering moving aboard with my girlfriend. Any advice?

At our club right now there are several liveaboards year round. They use water bubblers and shrink wrap their decks. I believe most of them use electric heaters powered by the shore. I will...

Re: Sewing in new battens: Asking for some advice!

Thanks for the advice guys. I'll take another look at the existing battens and pockets and see if it is worth the effort. As of now, all the sail has is two half battens, one near the top and one...

The end of my first season.

As haul out approaches I was getting sentimental and decided to put together a video of clips from my first season of sailing. If you sail on Lake Ontario you should recognize the sights! I sail a...

Re: seacocks for cockpit drains?

My bayfield 29' has seacocks on the cockpit drains. Like someone said before, I think they are required in Canada.

Re: Sailing alone??

I singlehand my Bayfield 29' fairly often, although docking in my slip is a pain. My gf is still getting into sailing, and it's true, yelling at your sig. other during docking can really cause an...

Re: Sailed singlehanded for the first time yesterday.

Thanks a lot guys. All of these tips are invaluable. I do always come bow in, my boat steers like a drunken brick when moving astern. The finger dock is on my starboard side, so when I put the boat...

Re: Single-handed Conversion

What kind of boat is it? For one, I'd try to have the headsail on a furler, and have all lines (sheets, halyards, furling line, etc..) leading back to the cockpit, with a good number of winches...

Re: Sailed singlehanded for the first time yesterday.

Ya, it is a cutter. I have only sailed it in sloop config so far though. My dad had just rigged up a 130% genny on a furler, and it wouldn't slip through the gap of the inner forestay when tacking,...

I'm 26 and inherited my boat from my dad when he passed this spring. It's a 29' Bayfield. Been learning to sail this whole summer on Lake Ontario. Took a basic crusing course. I was going to go out...
