Seems nuts to me. Reservoirs in MANY other states allow non-powered boats. Maybe MD has found a way to keep birds and fish from pooping in its precious reservoirs so they want to make sure we humans can't foul the waters either. Rule is beyond stupid IMHO.

Thanks. Do you launch from a dolly or your trailer? Is there fresh water at the "soft launch" area to hose down afterwards?

I thought that ALL boats were prohibited on the lake at GFSP. Where do you launch from there?

Has anyone worked out a way to mount a countdown timer on a Sunfish?

Thanks for the #10 info, but I need length for thru-bolting using machine screws, not self-tappers. Perhaps 1.25"?

Anyone know the size (I''m guessing #10) and length of the machine screws to thru-bolt this fitting? Thanks! John Barrere

If you have a line run thru the eyes of the deck fitting and up over the vang tang to keep the mast in place in the event of a capsize, it is fairly easy to get into a capsize situation where the mast rotates 180 deg or more which can cause bending/failure of the deck fitting. Why not allow a...

Assuming that the Aussie Embassy gets off their duff and processes my (Arg) wife's visa in time, we'll be in Sydney from about March 10 to March 17. It would be a real rush for me to be able to hook a ride on an Aussie 18. Any thoughts how I might be able to pull this off? Thanks mates!! John...

Since lacrosse and hockey sticks are banned as carry-on items (at least in the US) and a duffel large enough to fit these goodies inside would have a HUGE surcharge ($150 on AA), has anyone out there come up with a different way to solve this problem - aside from shipping in both directions that...

Or would there be a rules issue if I were to replace the standard part with a piece of PVC pipe + glued-on ends of the same diameter?

Anyone have any trick for keeping the large plastic ends from popping off the inner threaded portion? Silicone sealant works for a little while, then gives up.

The current rules don't include dimensional info to locate the daggerboard stopper. I'm thinking that mine (an '02) may be off as the board doesn't fit properly into the receptacle on a LockPit. The culprit is the stopper - it's not where the hole is in the LockPit. Is there any archived info on...

Re: Back Problems - avoiding same I'm an early stage great grand master who just built a deadrock-design hiking bench. As I begin training with this torture device, any advice/suggestions how to avoid back injury? For example, I've heard that situps with straight legs are an invitation to back...

Nowhere. But what's the alternative if you want to use the new daggerboard brake? There is none. So those of us with boats that won't work with the new brake are supposed to forego it b/c of manufacturing tolerance issues? Give me a break.

Hmmm. Looks like the glass-filled plastic brackets that connect the dolly uprights to the axle tube may be taking dynamic (ie, impact) loads they were probably not designed for. I wonder about shortened dolly life. Why not just buy a $200 Harbor freight utility trailer with the boat tongue kit...

Hull 174241. New brake installed with screws in original position doesn't come close to aft edge of the board. So it's drill and patch for me as well. Annoying that the mfr didn't do enuff testing to uncover the problem and include appropriate instructions/warnings. John Barrere Fresno, CA

Is this PC only or will it also run on a Mac?

Can anyone compare this with Rooster's The Boat Whisperer? Thanks!!

Exactamente! I need an extra pair.
