Yes, a locked head door should be sufficient. But the local marina busybody, trying to be "helpful", wanted to do a courtesy inspection "just to show how we do it here". I was in compliance, he was...

I actually liked mine. The only two downsides I can think of may not apply to you. The first was it absolutely needs salt water. Brackish won't cut it. Learned this on the northern part of the...

I can't speak to any potential issues with "new" ones because the Turbo II I bought in 2004 is still running well, and pulls dust whether I'm using it as a shop vac, connected to my sanders, or...

See, the problem isn't the acetone per se, rather, it is that the acetone will carry whatever you are cleaning through your skin and into your blood stream. ​Therein lies the danger.

Todd brings up a very good point, and in this case he is quite correct.

E. C. Emmerich still lists their 113. I haven't used one, but ECE makes some great things, so I would imagine they wouldn't tolerate low quality on this one.

Not sure there's enough information to help, but look for a copy of Number 83 (July/August 1988), for a story called The Wreck at Cape Ann.

This is my favorite page describing the use of butyl tape. Please note, it's not actually a "tape", but rather a butyl strip, which can be torn apart, lumped together, etc. in order to fit where you...

$2/# sounds about right. Did not realize they sold ingots on Etsy. I need to spend more time on Etsy. All of the shotshell prices seem to be going up. Something about a supply/demand curve, or so...

Easy day. Any place that sells equipment for shotshell reloading will have lead pellets. The nice thing about pellets over ingots is they melt so easily. Midway is out of stock...

According to the last email I received, they are working on exactly that!

Mickey, normally I would jump at this, but right now, I'm at least two years, possibly three, before I can consider it... I hope you find a good home for her.

I was going to recommend this book, as I learned a lot in what I just learned was the first edition, published in 1990. Today I learned that an updated second edition was published in 2016... so now...

I would like to go there this year. Once upon a time, it was so easy for me to do that. Now, things are a bit more complicated... But it's always on my list.

In an effort to assist, I posted on the Off Center Harbor site that you were trying to get in touch. I hope that is helpful.

Edited to add: The response I received from Off Center Harbor is that...

Chris, thank you. To be honest, I haven't been on a gaff rigged boat since the early '80s, and one of my few memories was trying to get the gaff tension right after lacing on. Your comment on slots...

I guess I was thinking that after a time, and use, there would be some stretch in the sail and the grommets would no longer align with the holes in the gaff. But considering the high tech racing...

I'm not sure... but there have been some recent guideposts on Off Center Harbor (i.e. 19 December 2020). In one of the posts, this note was included at the bottom:

At 2:08 in the video, it looks as if the sail is "stitched" through the gaff. Are you saying the gaff is flat on the port side, and laced through the gaff? Grommets in the sail? Adjusted for...

That is an interesting method of lacing. I'd love to see more information on that!

I am assuming a groove in the gaff, but grommets on the sail?

If you go to the BetaMarine website, there's a lot of info there. From the looks of things, it's generators after the transmission, and bolts on to several of their different engines. It's actually...

Makes sense. Some thoughts:

We sanding will help contain the dust. You will need a bright base to ensure adhesion.

If you collect the dust on a tarp, you can then collect it and re-melt it...

Once upon a time, there was a free at the docks sailing magazine called Santana that had tons of local advertisers. Latitude 38 does that job up north, and SpinSheet on the Chesapeake, but I don't...

Where are you casting? Any chance you can sand bright, add the InterProtect while it's still bright and outside, and then bring the now sealed lead inside?

I think maybe a rack and pinion set up, and that's not the tiller but a shaft? The wheel is not currently attached? Looks like a big "Edson" nut on the end...
