I think the hole in the bottom of my Eun Mara for the motor well causes more drag than the motor itself. One of these days I might figure out how to close it up but it is really tight down there. The...

I built a lot of cool stuff back when I was in the scenery/trade show booth/retail display business. But there where those times when I was standing at a drill press putting holes in steel...

The Achilles Heel of electric boats (for me at least) continues to be recharging those batteries away from a dock. Solar panels work great if you have a spot to put them....

I do not remember there being anything specified in the plans regarding how the deadwood was to be built up....

Congratulations on your first outing.

I thought I had laminated a funky shaped tiller or two! You putting an extension on it?

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

Having been down this rabbit hole, I'll stand by the idea of just getting it...

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...

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...

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?....
