Cuprinol may not be avalable but just go to a good lumber company and ask for the copper material they they spray on houses with wood basement. The chemical is the same copper napthnate and it is a...

We have owned a 33 ft Herreshoff design sloop since 1973 and every year she gets a gallon of cuprinol sprayed in her bilge, fore peak and thru out the transom area and any other places not visible....

As a pilot and retired ATC controller, tihs is no big deal. It has been on the FAA books for the last 10 years and there will be more in the future.

I have a 1934 33 ft Herreshoff flush deck sloop with the deck planks straight run tongue and grove 3/4 x4 fir. It was covered rather poorly (PO) by polyester and glass cloth and when removed no rot...

Short term mooring might be at Elm Point but I don't know the regulations. You can check with the historic society who I think manages the grounds. You have good weather protection but would use all...

John nice to see the progress. I have had good luck on stubborn seams that are slow to swell up by useing the old sawdust trick. Just find an old wood box like an old drawer and secure a long batten...

John your estimate might be a tad high but that all depends what you need or are looking for. I look for sea worthyness rather than top notch bristol finish. You can always look for something to...

I also have the concern of keel bolts in an Iron keel. This boat with about 3000# of iron appears to have 3/4 in monel bolts tapped into the casting. I have considered putting more in just to be...

Have another use for these wonderful tools. I had a heavily fouled hull (old fiberglass dingy but it worked on my wood hull also). I took the sand paper off and used scotch brite scrub sponge with...

I bought a sailware house main and have no complaints. It is a heavy (8 oz) cruisining off shore with conventional battens and very pleased with the quality. This is for a 33 ft heavy cruising boat...

We are running one of those heaters tapping the heat off the engine. Ours has been in uses for 20 years and is mounted below a bookshelf frame 15 ft from the engine. We do not use it a lot but in the...

She will take on quite a bit of water for the first 6 hours or so so have a 110v sump pump ready. You might have to go the gas power pump option if 110v not avaliable at launch site. A couple of...

Copper napthanate is readily avalable at any good lumper company. Cuprinol was the first to market it as a brand I think. I just ask for the preservative to spray on under ground wood foundations...

We have a 10 ton sloop rigged crusing boat. She is 75 years old and been in the Great Lakes her entire life. She heavy construction designed and built by a brother of LFH. I agree with Hanlery's...

I really don't like the foam against the wood plan at all. I had 3 in foam attached under a dingy seats and it was upright and out of the weather and paid the price with rot. I like the plastic heavy...
