Potting lead shot is okay, but no where near the density of solid lead, the epoxy between balls doesn't weigh much.

I have used Pre-Check for years and immediately pre-pandemic upped it to Global Entry because I thought I was going to be traveling to Canada and Mexico a bunch. So much for that...

I tried this route twice with Marianita's bilgeboards and now have a set of as-designed steel plates weighing close to 100 pounds each.
The first set came in at about 60 pounds each and...

Add a red flag or two and away you go!
I do, but that picture is all Jay Greer
I haven't seen a lot of canvas decks either, though I have been thinking about one on "Next Boat", the 'glass and epoxy deck on Marianita has held up really really well so Bruce's suggestion is in...
You do have some epic riding down there Ted. I don't know what those early road engineers were drinking back in the day but they sure knew how to lay out a road for motorcycles....

Almost exactly one year ago we moved into a 1500 square foot house that I built myself over the course of 2 years. Contracted out the foundation, roof and mechanical/electrical but framed, drywalled...

A light glued-ply boat like the Peregrine 18 ought to be fine on a trailer like that. Poking around looking for trailers I get the sense that most of the "off the shelf" types are built to support...
It has been some time since I last dove into the yuloh project. I had been thinking about a manual back-up for Marianita if her motor quit at an inopportune moment or to get through a consistent...

Looking at this makes me think about the similarly sized/styled Dunphy hiding under a tarp in my yard...
The current Port of Seattle water temperature is 53F, this after a week long heatwave....While I did jump off the boat a few times last week it was for pretty brief intervals. The 10-12 degree...
That's an interesting question.
I wonder what dry storage for a 35'-40' monohull (which I'm guessing is the range you are looking at) would run in either Florida or the BVIs? Tempting to keep one...

This is the set up I used to pour my 400-ish pound ballast keel. Roughly 4"x4" and 5'-6" long. Pine box...
Marianita lives in a slip, she comes out once a year for a good clean up and paint. This due to a combination of very limited launching facilities here on Bainbridge and the time it takes to rig and...
Thank you!
We're not saying we're going to deport all these people or whatever. You're free to stay here. You're not going to be forced to convert or anything like this because that's not biblical whatsoever....
Nice indeed. I own what I think is the only other Eun Mara in the area, if you have questions I'll try to answer them.
So the difference between my "not a shooting brake" Rabbit and your Lancia is?....

I have my own personal utility pole too. Power, telephone and cable run from a pole on the street to my pole and then cut underground. The phone and cable used to cross the 10 feet from pole to house...

I think the ID of your ring is too small. Having a bit of brain fart this morning but I think the "rule of thumb"number is mast OD+ 10%? Somebody here will know.

Pelican was up for sale in 2017, I think she was on Instagram for a bit but I can't find her now.
When I was sailing a lugger the downhaul and halyard belayed by the mast, but the rig wasn't as far up in the bow as the #130. Hoisting I just tried to fast and smooth, bring it down was a two-handed...
I have a couple of sea kayaks (from the now defunct Pygmy Kayak Co) paddled a few cheap rotomolded ones and higher end fiberglass models. It always seemed the stiffer the better in terms of efficient...
Looks like you found yourself a fun little project/boat. Hopefully as you tear into it your initial assessment pans out. Looking at the PO pictures, compared to some others found on the internet I...
Is there a way to simply lash the cleats on? They look big enough to go a great job catching a sheet at an inopportune moment, you also have the ability to easily relocate if your best first guess...

Thought about it but I was really enjoying my downwind run. It looked like you all stopped for the night in Appletree Cove? Must have been quite a sight and just a bit crowded.

It would make a fun casting project. Mine is welded up mild steel, worked it up as a proof of concept that worked so well I never got around to making the "real" one. I imagine Mr. Ledger will grace...
