Ahoy All, Some good points. What needs work the most is the Anchor Platform. It is hopelessly outdated. The CQR anchor is being superceded by the Bruce and...
Benjy: While their (bow platforms) are outdated, perhaps ours don't have to be? I've seen some of your work and been suitably inpressed...so a question....

Ahoy Bill, I must confess I haven't given the bow platform a great deal of thought but I think I have solved the bulk of the issues. Firstly there is no need...
I deleated the your email before I sent the responce so here is a link for the page on the bottom of the page is a second link to pics. Sorry. Mike ...
Benjy and Martin, I am tempted to adopt your teak maintenance plan having just sanded off the flaking cetol. One question: As the teak fades to grey do you...
Todd, I don't find that the grain raises. But the key is getting thte teak to 320 sandpaper smooth, and then when you remove the mold that grows on it over the...

Before owning our Dana we had a Tayana 37 and believe me I have had plenty of experience with teak upkeep. For years I used nothing but Sikkens and was pleased...
Hi Jerry, you have got my attention! Would you be willing to describe the different weather conditions of your area - eg. hot and dry, wet for some many...
Dana friends, Jerry...I am interested in your reply to Martin as well! Civilization could have not sent men to the moon and saved money developing a wood care...
I live in Michigan and sail about 5 months of the year. The rest of the year the boat is covered. It's all fresh water. So cannot speak to a salt water...
Because it is oil it can be wiped off easily. However I got a bit remiss and did not wipe as best as I should. What you get is a light yellow stain. However it...
Just thought I'd throw two cents worth in here. I don't believe Chris has email capability on the boat as he heads for Hawaii -- but suspect someone is ...
I spoke to Chris on his satellite phone yesterday. He is doing great. The Dana is holding up better than most of the other boats as there have been no...
Bill, Benjy et al., Re: bow platform it seems that having the platform even with the sprit is a good idea but ... has anybody considered the sprit side stays....
Ben: I'd not really thought about taking it that far, in all honesty. I believe that would considerably alter the salty appearance of the Dana? I'd have to ...
has anyone replaced the fitting on the end of the foreward water tank with a "T" fitting to include a standpipe to monitor the water level in the water tank....
...interesting... And, it will be interesting to see if Bob (who I believe monitors this list) will weigh in... Bill Huesmann Morning Star (Dana 139) Gulf...
Hi everyone, Has anyone installed a fluxgate compass, and connected it to their radar? If so, where did you locate the compass and how did you run your cables....
My recollection is that the rectangular port lights replaced the old oval ones because the oval ones were no longer available since the manufacturer went out...
Hi, I just joined this group. I longed for a Dana about 10 years ago and looked at a few, but it was not a realistic dream at that time. Now my wife has become...
Welcome to the group! You, like many of us, have decided that "smaller is sometimes better" and your situation proves thought-provoking. I'm sure you will...
Hi Bill, Thanks for your response. Sorry about not properly signing my post... my name in my email address, but I'll still add it. Maybe I should add that...
Claus...no apology required or desired. Merely letting you know how the bulk of folks sign it. It makes it a bit easier, at times, to add the "regional spin"...
Claus, Welcome aboard. There are a few of us on the group in the Puget Sound area if you have local questions. I assume you are headed to Seacraft to look at...
Hi, Claus-- Martin has a Dana down in the Olympia area, and Jim has one in Everett. They will probably be responding directly. This is a pretty friendly...
HI Jake and Bill, I did call PSC re the Port Lights, and they told me to contact Chatfield Marine Engineering in New Zealand! That is a little far to go for...
