America's cup challenger playoffs were supposed to start today but were postponed because of lack of wind. Boo! But it sounds like there was still a lot of fun to be had by all the fans in Bermuda. Who's gonna watch the playoffs tomorrow?
America’s Cup Challenger Playoffs Postponed, No Wind >>...
I'm always looking for cool places to go and fun things to do for kids and/or adults. I was thinking about my favorite vacation as a kid. Of course it involved sailing. Camp Trinity in Salter Path, NC was my absolute favorite childhood vacation. That's where I learned to love to sail. They have...
Does anyone use Navionics Platinum+ or HotMaps Platinum? I currently use Navionics+ but I noticed that Platinum+ and HotMaps Platinum are on sale for the month of April. What are the differences in Plus and Platinum Plus and HotMaps Platinum? What is your experience using the Platinum line?
Thanks!
It sounds like to me that you need Navionics+. It includes their SonarChart technology which is an HD bathymetry map with amazingly accurate bottom contour lines so you can tell exactly where shallow waters. And you can adjust your settings to account for your boat's draft, cruising speed, etc...
Thanks for responses! We were thinking refurb but if you guys think she just needs to be refinished, we'll go with that. Oh, and where do you recommend purchasing battens? We are missing two. Thanks!
Sorry the photos aren't very good. The garage is a disaster and my step-son decided to use it as his table to build his own boat. I just snapped these really quickly before work. I can clean it off and get better pics tonight or tomorrow...
Does anyone have any suggestions for refinishing a Super Sunfish? We've only had it about 1.5 years, but it's a 1974 model. We are very new to sailing still and we're not really sure where to start. I'm not sure if the location of the boat makes a difference but it spends most of its time in the...
I thought there was a thread to post funny or unique boat names but I couldn't find it. Anyway, I was driving the other day and saw this boat. Unfortunately the antennae got in the way but the name of the boat is Poopie! Haha!! Only in the south!
I know Navionics usually has really accurate charts so out of curiosity I looked this up on the Navionics web app (Navionics Webapp). Definitely be cautious.
Hi, does anyone know of a place in St. Thomas that rents sunfishes? We're flying there in January and would love to sail around a bit. We're going to be staying on the eastern coast (where the blue pin is on the Navionics map) so we'd like to stick around that area but we will have a car if we...
I had heard how beautiful the world's brightest bioluminescent bay is (Mosquito Bay on Vieques, Puerto Rico) but I had no idea it was going to be as breathtaking as it was. I just returned from there last week. Unfortunately we didn't sail there and we didn't even get to sail any during the...
The race is on!!!
The Bloody Mary Regatta has been postponed to November 19th, 2016. This is also the weekend of the RiverFest in Wilmington, NC which is a fun event to attend. Visit Carolina Bloody Mary Regatta for more info. Also, the Riverfest website is wilmingtonriverfest.com.
First off, I hope everyone made it through Hurricane Matthew ok. I wasn't really sure where to post this since it affects not only NC but pretty much all of the SE US coast. After Hurricane Matthew I was amazed at how much my navigation charts changed. I have Navionics so I know the changes are...
