Sounds like a fantastic project.

If you can't tell already, there is a small crowd of Mac nerds gathering, eager to offer help, advice, and perhaps a small amount of friendly heckling.

I'm. It quite ready for the old geezer handles (which means I am still in denial) but the technique of facing forward while stepping down into the cockpit makes so much sense to me. Obvious in hind sight, but that's where I struggle for balance. Very helpful!

Yup. All good here.

Didn't watch the whole thing but it caught my eye because we're headed to Nassau for a week next month. Staying on a boat slipped at Paradise Island and will definitely be checking out a few sailboats while there.

Happy to help and Happy New Year!

Hi Ed, I'm not aware of replacements other than what BWY has an offer. I have as an eventual project the repair of our broken daggerboard, however I'm concerned that the repair might make it so strong that would no longer be sacrificial. A super sturdy dagger board might do a lot of damage to the hu...

Could you please share what situation created your daggerboard to shatter? Maybe you can help a newbie learn. Well, it doesn't take much as the dagger board isn't really that strong on a :macm: .
