Re: Hong Kong sailmaker
An overseas loft just builds a sail to the design provided - meaning if you order from your local 'loft' that uses overseas to make the sail it is to the local's design. If you like how your local designs sails use the local as if you use an overseas you have no idea how they design a sail and even ...

Re: putting the boat back together
I've been busy between late Winter storms doing some things on my M17. I still need to complete buffing out the cockpit and then I’d like to put a coat of wax on the entire boat before heading to Puget Sound. I’ve scraped off the worse of the trailer’s rust and treated it with Rustoleum to keep the ...

Re: knock knock knock

I plan to do some tweaking to get the content here more 'noticed' by Google et al, that should help new folks find us. :) Forums are a 'hard sell' these days. ...

Re: putting the boat back together
Electrical - here's a 3-function adapter for ~$16 you might want to try (Voltmeter, 12v power, 2x USB power)... I've seen those in my panel searching and my concern is the wiring and connectors not being 'true marine' and in this case 'marine' seems to be in reference to the 'waterproof' cap and no...

after years of neglect
