The more experience I get the more I come to believe the humble hand sanding block is the most important/most used tool on a wood boat for perfect fits and invisible repairs
Nothing is straight lines. Fair to the fingers and eye is everything
Sorry but I can’t wait until summer is through.
Maybe 10 percent of recreational boaters have read colregs or even excessive situational awareness or common courtesy.
I’m sick of people not knowing who the giveaway vessel is and thinking more horse power equals right of way
In 2025 what’s the best bang for your buck with 20$?
I’m going with a quart of oil based paint
Somehow cheaper than a quart of beer in the pub, and lasts a lot longer
I’ve seen 7 other sailboats underway this morning and I’m the only one under sail. I really don’t understand the mentality. It’s not even like they’re trying to time a tide gate. Very odd.
Gusting 25 or so off the straights and I had to row near a mile out to drag a swamped drifting windsurfer back to shore. Left dinner cooking on the stove and returned to it burnt, after working up quite the appetite: Truly no good deed goes unpunished.
Three years on this boat and I’ve not once plugged into shore power, used the inverter, or any of the AC wiring.
That’s a lot of 10 gauge tinned wire already optimally routed.
Just thinking out loud here. Reasons to keep AC outlets?
