    Pirate?! Oh crap, I thought it said Primate! Guess that explains today's strange reactions. :eek:

    sunfish sailing in Great Britain

    Webfoot: "Anyone know the cost of getting a container to the UK?" Maybe in the cargo hold of Air Force One the next time Michelle pops over to Harrods for a wardrobe update? Just a thought. :D

    Refinishing

    Do a search on this forum for "varnish." You'll see many good pointers and suggestions. I have a tip from recent personal experience: avoid letting your hair come in contact with the freshly varnished (still wet) piece of wood. It screws up both the varnish job and your hair. Steve

    Beware of eBay new Neil Pryde sail rip off

    In that regard, you probably have never gotten a good deal on anything because no matter what you have purchased, someone somewhere has most likely been able to find it for less or been a better negotiator than you. Again, if you are happy with the purchase price and the seller is happy with the...

    Beware of eBay new Neil Pryde sail rip off

    I've always heard that a "good deal" is one in which the buyer and seller both walk away happy, regardless of what any outside party thinks about it. Having once been a car salesman, I sold cars at full list price to incredibly satisfied buyers who referred others to me, and I sold cars below...

    Sunfish Sailor Missing in Lake Michigan

    Not a good ending. Unfortunately, they found the Doctor's body on an Indiana beach late Saturday. He was still wearing his life jacket and was an avid boater and accomplished scuba diver, so it sure makes one wonder what happened. Also from southern Lake Michigan this month: Man hit by...

    sealant under coaming/splashguard?

    Sorry, I had searched the archives for an answer but it wasn't until I posted my question that I saw the "caulking of splashguard" message from 2004 under "related posts." Steve

    sealant under coaming/splashguard?

    When I removed my coaming, it looked like someone had used foam weatherstripping between it and the deck at one point. I assume marine silicone sealant would make more sense or is there supposed to be some other material there? Thanks. Steve

    Want to get back into sailing

    Prior to moving to the N. Carolina mountains, I sailed a Catalina 25 for several years on the Intracoastal (Okeechobee Waterway) and Gulf of Mexico in the Fort Myers, FL. area. There are plenty of wide spots on the Intracoastal where a Sunfish could be safely sailed, as long as you keep an eye...
