Re: Boom assembly

There was a 'shoulder' to drill thru and pop rivets into, so I am all set now. Thanks for all of the assistance! Now just need some help stepping the mast and I'm on my way.

Re: Boom assembly

Okay, I will check on the thickness, maybe they just appear solid, they are hefty. But I bought it all together from Dwyer, I'm sure they would not send rivets if something else were needed.

If...

Re: Boom assembly

Thanks for those fast replies. I guess that makes sense. It seems like those pieces are solid, I was not sure I could drill just part way and pop a rivet into them.

It is for an O'day Rhodes 19.

Boom assembly

So I have a new boom, sliding gooseneck and end cap, but not sure how the gooseneck and cap stay attached to the boom. There doesn't seem to be any way to secure either. They just fit snugly in the...

Re: Mast sheave box question

Sorry, I wasn't clear. The holes line up in the photo, I'm just not sure what fasteners to use. Looks like rivets would be it.

Re: Mast sheave box question

It should be in there correctly. There are no flanges. The existing holes line up like I have it and the 'open' side has to point out for the halyards to go through.

Perhaps there were originally...

Mast sheave box question

On my small O'day Rhodes 19 the halyards run through the mast and exit the lower sheave box. When I received the boat the box was not attached to the mast, although there are small holes in both the...

Re: Mainsheet rigging help

Thanks all so far, I am always nearly overwhelmed by the responses here, it is indeed a great resource.

Mainsheet rigging help

Hello all. Have seen plenty of posts that have me pointed in the right direction, but I could use specifics. I have a Rhodes 19 that is ready to launch, but I need some blocks for the mainsheet. I am...

Re: Numbers on sail for Oday Javelin

Your boat should have the id, or HIN on the stern if it is mid 70's, at least my O'day does.

Generally, you can use the HIN as your numbers, the 4 digits should be sandwiched in the middle of all...

Re: Finish for new mahogany

So you all have just about convinced me. Varnish is the way to go.

That is beautiful Minnewaska, might make me rethink the gloss finish!

The time is not really an issue, and the sanding I can...

Re: Finish for new mahogany

Out. Yeah, I really do not like the darker look, so the clear would work better.

Re: Paint Remover for anti-fouling paint

I used the Aqua Strip product. Put it on thick, wait a couple hours depending on temp, place plastic underneath and scrape it of. Took 2 applications and still had to sand, but it works quite well to...

Re: Bottom/Top Painting-What Comes 1st?

Okay, thanks, that makes sense. Is there a formula to use to get the correct width as it widens near the stern?

Re: Bottom/Top Painting-What Comes 1st?

Topside paint for the boot. If you look at places like Jamestown they sell small cans for the boot stripe. I've read elsewhere that tape is often used, as stated above. There are a lot of color...

Re: Small first boat

How about a Rhodes 19? You might find you at a good price and would be a good boat to learn on. The centerboard version could beach, weighs about 1100 lbs. so you could easily trailer....

Re: stripping deck paint--painful!

Re: Flying Scot Question

If I decide on the Cal then I would not trailer it around, that's why the FS is the advantage in that regard.
