Will be sailing mostly SoCal bays/harbors and I'm shopping for the right all-purpose anchor (mud/sand/pebbles/rocks) so the kids and I can jump in and snorkel or cool off. Thought a small mushroom would do it but YouTube reviews show they just drag. Danforth kinda edgy takes up larger footprint...

Bought an old chalky mod 1 for my wife on her B-day. The boat really has nice bones and We’ve been wanting to get back in the wind for quite a while now. Rubbed it out, filled all the spider cracks and chips, all new standing & running rigging,made a tiller extension, varnished all the bright...

Just got a mod 1 and bought new halyards from CD. Downloaded manual, threaded jib lines according to pic (thru cleat, becket, and jam cleat) - but - big but - when halyard is completely released the jib shackle only comes down to spreader height. What’s going on? Anyone have a couple pics with...
