I have owned a Omega 14 for several years now and have found you have to be constantly aware of this hulls stability. As an example: I was at anchor in about 2' of water and was sitting in the boat just aft of the mast. I moved in some way I don't remember and the boat rolled over. No harm...

I just went crazy again and bought another Sunfish. This is my 5th Fish, not counting a Sailfish, two Minifish and two Force Fives along the way. I have been sailing an Omega 14 recently but I have found that the time spent setting up and taking down eats into my sailing time. So I will be...

I bought a quick release binder bolt for the gooseneck from Intensity Sails. The item works well but there is a prbolem. The threaded bolt on mine is made of something less than stainless steel and has shown some corrosion. I am now removing it after every sail and spraying it with WD-40.

I bought a 1981 Omega 14 in January and worked all winter to get it ready for the sailing season. On my second outing in April a friend and I were calmly sailing along when we heard a loud crunch. At first I thought I had run into a crab pot but my buddy quickly let me know that the mast...
