No kidding! I didn't actually do ANY sailing last season because it just seemed like the weather/wind was either too crazy or not crazy enough. This season, that changes. I'm going every chance I get, even if it means calling in sick!
I know dollies are kind of expensive, but trust me, they're worth their weight in gold. I wouldn't be able to sail without one (I suck at backing up trailers).
Got the boat ready for the next nice day we have, and in doing so I noticed that the plastic cap that you run the halyard through on the mast only has one metal pin holding the cap in. Not sure when and where the other one fell out, but what should I do about this? Is there a way to pin it back...
Ordering the new bailer tonight and I'll report back once it comes in and I can take the old one off. Guessing there should be no open gaps or holes in there?
Did a leak test today and realized I have some leaks on a couple of the rivets on the coaming and the autobailer. I know I have to replace my autobailer, but as far as the coaming goes, is there a recommended way to sealing it that doesn't involve taking the coaming off? Should I even worry...
I went sailing today and the ratchet block worked great! Much better than just hooking it and at no point did it feel unsafe. Thanks for the recommendation!
So I rigged the boat to try it out and I’m a wee bit concerned about the grip it has when the sheet goes back out. I’m guessing it’s different when the wind does it vs me just pushing on the spar, just hoping it doesn’t catch and cause a capsize.
I’m sure it’s functionality will all become...
I don't really plan on using the auto mode, so as long as I don't use that, I shouldn't have to worry about it being tough on the sheet, right?
Debating whether I should install it or try to exchange it for the one I ordered. I'm guessing I should probably just install it and call it a day.
