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: I can't heave to

Do you have a working jib or a large genoa? Sounds like the foresail is overpowering the main.

Wow, do those pics bring back memories (nightmares?). Good luck with the project, you'll be justifiably proud when finished, and you'll never have to worry about a wet, rotten core.

Your handheld VHF isn't going to give you reliable coverage in a lot of places so you won't have current weather reports. Any way to install a fixed radio with antenna on top of the mast? Wouldn't...

Re: PSC 37 running backstays...

Brion Toss convinced me to do away with the SS and replace with Amsteel. It is spliced to line and we use the off side winches, the old fiddle blocks never worked very well.

Re: Otter problem, help!

As if the otters weren't enough of a PITA, they leave the heads and guts of the fish they eat, and most of the legs of the crabs, on the docks. The gulls, herons, and eagles grab them and fly up...

Med- I'd drill a small hole in the bottom of the keel directly under the hinge to see if more water comes out. If it does then there must be a void in that area. You might be able to figure it out...

Re: Bottom Damage by Pressure Washer

If there were a lot of blisters under the bottom paint I could see an aggressive pressure washing cutting into them. Surveyor (independent) would be in order at this point.

Re: Twin Keel sailboat?

Important historical note: I learned to sail on a twin keel Vivacity 20 :-)) I think Dad figured (correctly) that I'd run aground in it. Try as I might, I couldn't break that boat, lots of fun.
