@DrSteve - At least you are trying to upgrade as opposed to feeling the sting when the universal joint breaks, it's lost overboard, it's right there in the water just within grasp. . . . then poof it takes a nose dive to the bottom.
Hey Brits, Aussies, & Euros - tell us what's more right . . . use of the word "Trolley" being more similar to our parking lot and beach "Dolley" or as Wave Dancer says its more similar to American use of the word "Trailer" (ie towing a boat behind a car). I can see both cases for the word...
My recommendation is to use both. For example use a dolly with sling when coming in and out of water. Many dollies you can attach flip-up / flip-down gunwale supports. If I am at the club or regatta, for short durations I simply just keep it on the sling. However, if it's staying on the...
@AmirahMoon not sure your point exactly on the skates? If your comment was made in reference to the earlier "blades" comment above, the rudder/daggerboard are often referred to as "blades" informally. But yes, I agree - most sporting equipment (skates included) are allowed on airlines...
@usa538 oh wow - ya the other case at Jenson @ Midwinters.
I would be up to throwing the bag in there! That could save some time. However, the reviews of the case out there say the Pelican Vault series are good, but can compress under load (ie a luggage pile up). Vang metal, mega bolts, &...
Glad to share. Let me see if some descriptions can help:
Yes, the case has 4 layers of foam.
2 of the layers are thinner and those two layers fit snuggly into the top of the case and bottom of the case. I left these alone
2 thicker layers are really the ones I worked with and yes the...
Old string, but I thought I would post my "Pelican Vault 800 Case" I recently purchased and took on flight. I used an electric carving knife to make cut outs in the foam layers. Worked great, no issues.
Right @ProATC - this will certainly be unlikely to manage without a cleat and l bet I just need serious time off. I was hoping to keep racing to the start of December.
Regardless, I will still take recommendations from anyone out there who found a particular brace useful. I am planning to...
Wondering if anyone has had the unfortunate aggravation of "Tennis Elbow" which occurs in many chronic load bearing activities with a grip (ie main sheeting). This is inflammation and pain on the outside (lateral side) of the elbow on or near the pointy prominence. With this type of injury, has...
I went with Trailex which has a swivel bow piece. I think that is like a ~$50 upgrade (but they all might come with it now?)
In the beginning I asked for help (ie 2 people to pick up to transfer to dolly). However, now I am completely independent picking up the stern on my own for the transfer...
