Luckily I saved a copy - hope you don't mind Judy - all in the good cause of 'private research' :) . Great combined track layout for 150 genoa as it would give correct sheeting angle regarless of the amount of furling - perhaps not quite as clew would move up as sail is furled? http://i65.tinypic.co...

Oh yes, Sorry about the thread hijack! No it is a hank on also. It was a used UK I purchased from Masheadsailing Gear I have purchased some of my sails from them and they are exactly as advertized. It is just a gamble if they have what you are looking for. My good regata sails were custom from Doyl...

Hi Bob,
My understanding is that some (all?) of the 26Ds built prior to 89 had the lower sides. Sometime in 89 the sides began matching those of the future 26S.

Congratulations on a wonderful trip Sumner and thanks for the incredible amount of time you have put into sharing it with us.

Talking about the swimming I did use the 3 lb weight today and the day before. It still isn't enough. I bought some fish weights but maybe not enough of those either. Maybe I've 'bulked up' on all my great cooking :wink: . Actually I only cook about every 3-4 days and make enough that I eat cold le...

........... How much was your insurance and for how much through PIB?? Hi Mike, Sorry I can't find the documents at present - doing my annual paperwork tidy up at the moment. My boat is a bit under insured at 21K but from pencil notes I have here it looks like I paid an annual premium of a bit less...

I'm not fond of the jet skiers but at least most of them know and adhere to the rules i'll give them that. Seriously?? Wow. I gotta move to your neighbourhood, Dennis, 'cause the clowns I've seen piloting those things tend to completely ignore any semblance of nautical rules of the road. Some suita...

THanks RIck, I have mast up storage just around the corner and there are at least 3 or 4 Macs there - Cruiser do you still have your boat there?.............. No Paul, I brought mine home 2 years ago to do a few months work on it and it has been sitting in the back yard ever since :( . Son comes ho...

Out of interest, I have hit on a problem. insurance companies are apparently not renewing policies with trailer sailers kept on swing moorings.... Oh well, waste of time applying for a mooring I guess... have to think about getting some more chain and just leaving her on the hook here and there ins...
