I broke me gooseneck quick adjust and am looking to buy a new one. Sailing shops like aps jack up the price 3-4x on what is just a bike seat height adjuster. Anyone have a particular brand name of one that works well and wont corrode/rust in salt water. As a bike seat adjuster they sell for...

I used an adjustable strap last year and found some advantages in it. I know that a lot of people do not use them simply because the different systems of tying them can seem complicated at first. Then there is the issue of needing extra hardware that the various systems require such as the...

I recently boat a boat that was in awesome shape except this... I thought no big deal, I can replace it. There are plenty of people that have splash rails hanging around in their garages...But, that's not what I did. I made a mold of that part from another boat, then fiberglassed, sanded...

I have never actually had to use jens rig, but am only 130lbs and know that it could be an option in heavy air. My question is what is the proper way to tie it. I have seen oposing methods. In one method the halyard pases through the mast cap and is tied to the spar as normal, with jens...

A few of the foam blocks inside my hull are loose. I have inspection ports aft of the cockpit and just foward of the centerboard trunk, so i have acess to affected area. My question is what is the best way to resecure these blocks. I understand that correctly placed blocks are essentail to a...
