Cider Vinegar and dish soap in a cup. Works like a charm, and you will collect tons of the little buggars.

I'm sorry to hear about this. I have used Debond 2000, with lots of scraping and it worked ok. A quick google found this:

The Grafton smoked cheddar is a nice cheese for everyday use - they are a smaller cheese maker as these things go, and pretty well respected. You should also try some of the Shelburne Farms Cheddars...

I saw those winches too - I have a pair on the Swede. Let me know if you need actual dimensions...

But they were chanting "USA, USA" so they must be patriots.

There was just an article in the NY Times about this - and they said you didn't have to boil. Do a search, I'm sure you will find it.

I think the first photo is from the event in Burlington Vermont.

Ok, so I lied...I don't alway reef before 20, and sometimes I sail with the 135% in those wind speeds. I had a great sail yesterday, and at the time I was sailing, the wind was around 18-20 knots,...

One thing I always seem to forget each year, is that colder air is denser, carrying more force at a given wind speed. 15 knots at 45 degrees is pretty different than 15 knots at 85 degrees. It can...

They can give a pretty good bite (or maybe it's a pinch).

I like the name "Beaver" for it...

Just a note - if you plan on racing, you have to have the Spinnaker Pole (or whisker pole) "fixed" to the mast - otherwise it becomes an outrigger, which is illegal. I was on the protest committee...

Why yes it is, the difference is that there isn't wood under the fiberglass.

I am aware of the Vaitses technique, and I do believe that occasionally it can be an ok thing. I have seen many many...

My family probably sailed this boat (and maybe even were part of the purchase originally), and I was gung ho, until I read about the Fiberglass to the waterline...

I would love to see more about this boat.

My dad and I ran about 125 buckets last year - not a great season, but I think we ended up with 30 gallons or more. Good stuff, but I'm not a huge sugar guy.

If it was me, I would add much more detail to the listing. Show some construction details, in the water shots, talk about actual performance (give cruising and top speed, fuel consumption as well)....

Very interesting - let me know if you decide to pass - it's just what we have been looking for for a Lake boat (though I would need to figure out where to store it - 1 mooring and storage bill is...

Stihl MS290. Does the light duty work I need it to very well.

Stereo to Mono? Oops, says right there Stereo to Stereo...

Well, give them a call then. Put together a spreadsheet to see if you could afford it, ask yourself if you could find the time to fix it, or at the very least not let it get any worse and go for it. ...

Your correct - it's way too small!

One trick I used to trace a leak was taking a gallon milk jug (full of milk) and punching a few holes it in. I watched in the boat and had a helper swim under the boat and squeeze out the milk. It...

Kinda like my cascading backstay system except it's 32-1.

There are many things that can cause one engine to generate more heat than another - not just the cooling system. Timing, mixture, etc could all influence what you are seeing. Without more...

In a recent poll conducted on the WoodenBoat Forum and SaililngAnarchy.com 110% of male boat owners reported spending 10-30 hours per week during work researching their next boat project. They also...

Yes, we have to fend off the occasional attack...

"bring it up".

There is a guy at our club with one - he must be pushing 80, and goes out for a sail darn near every day - always with a smile on his face. It seems like it goes well in light wind and heavy, and...

I think the political theory that describes this trend is the "Overton window".

The plastic classic forum is probably the place to go for answers to this question.

If you look at the shots, they are Elliot Patterson sails, not North. My guess - he's trying to give the boat as much horsepower as he can in a light wind area.

Here is the load shedding panel I mentioned on sale at Defender.

It always seems like a good idea to put less power on...

Ouch - what a shame.

You could get a load shedding 30 amp panel. Not sure if it will be more expensive in the end or not...

My favorite thing in hummus is horseradish - and lots of it!

Just to clear this up, he is missing the bulb on the keel. Details aren't in yet, but it detached from the boat at some point. He had enough time to make a phone call to race head quarters, but was...

Yep, could be sap wood, but I still have my money on old epoxy that was killed by UV.

It sounds more like you had epoxy problems and that changed the appearance of the wood - I have never heard of Cherry turning yellow in the sun - usually it gets very dark.

I also think it's a...

Sounds like a good time.

In the town I grew up in we had a small community fair in the fall. It was always a good time - nail pounding contests, good food, etc.

Well one of the contests is a...

You get those bolts out yet? Sorry I missed this thread. If you can get the nut off the bottom of the bolt, I recommend pulling the bolts out.

It goes something like this:

Get nut off bottom...

There is a charting app for the iPhone that uses these charts and will use the internal GPS to provide a location. Do a search and I'm sure you can find the name of the app.

My Folkboat keel had pockets cast into the keel about half way through the keel. There was just enough room to get a nut on the end of the bolt in the pocket - no room for a wrench though - you...

LL Bean Canvas Bags embroidered with the boat name.

I just saw this in Craigslist here in Vermont. Figured somebody would be interested in the engine.
