That's a great idea! I didn't consider that an existing boat could be ... retrofitted. Do you have any pictures or details of how you restructured the transom?

How did you secure it to the cabin?...

I know a lot of people seem to like storing their dinghy either in davits (my beam tapers at the stern, so I have a small transom) or on the foredeck (I happen to like having access to my foredeck;...

Fantastic thread, thanks for recommending!

I would point out that relatively few people are walking on that paint. That being said, you could counter-point that the surface was in all probability minimally prepped. Very well. You win this...

I notice that I see a lot more wooden boats in New England than I do elsewhere. No doubt there are a lot of factors owing to this: climate, hauling the boat out for almost half the year, affordable...

In the US the CFRs cite the ABYC codes which require electrified lamps for this purpose, so anything I do with oil would have to be a secondary. I recall the CFRs being fairly specific with regard to...

Sorry, having a bit of a hard time following you. A crane as in a short yoke-shaped spar that lives up by the truck of the foremast? Would this be in Chapelle's?

What a beautiful boat! I hope you will tell us about it. It looks like you had a splendid day, I do hope so, everyone sporting their Nantucket reds! I put into Ogunquit once with Outward Bound, it...

Hello all,

Long time lurker thought I would finally sign on.

I have port and starboard lights mounted either side of the cabin top, a foot abaft the foremast. These do a wonderful job of...
