Len, The other company you mentioned, Miller Marine Canvas, is in Milford Ct and is run by Judd Miller, who I believe was former president of Fairclough, so...
Len, I live in Minnesota, the installation was straight forward. The biggest issues is keeping the two halves straight (in your head). On Jackito, the two...
Thanks. The installation (first time only) was part of the deal so I couldn't opt for a self-install. I would have to pay shipping charges additional to get...
Hi Martin, Sorry for the late reply on this one, but I too have collected water in the same location that you describe....so here's another take on it. It ...
Wow, Chris...talk about the road less travelled! That is at least as/more valid than my condensation theory... Bill Huesmann Morning Star (Dana 139) Gulf...
Fellow leakers: I also have a leak in the port (only) lazarette which drains into the gutter on the port side of the engine compartment, and also list to...
I think this may have been suggested before. When I forget to close the head sink seacock, on a port tack the sink can fill with sea water, which then spills...
I too have a constant problem with the water issue. For me, it seems the pump on the sink in the head is the problem. It tends to siphon water from the tank...
I have discovered a crack in my bowsprit. The crack extends all the way through on the extreme forward end but only on one side aft where it is at its widest....
You must have the manual (hand pump) faucets. I, likewise had the same issue on Jackito, tended to be most pronounced on Port tack, as the 30 gallon tank in...
... A LOT of water. In fact this is what destroyed a $1200.00 camera! OOCH! My boat has no valves except the one at the forward tank which is not easy to get...
Since owning Carroll E I've noticed a very loud "popping" noise coming from around the bridge-deck area when gybing or when the boat rolls hard from one side...
Can you trim the access panel? Or trim it and edge the panel with flexible materials, such as pipe insulation? \ Doug Maass Sleepy Hollow, NY Dana 316...
I'd be interested in advice, too. My bowsprit is slowly delaminating at both its aft and forward ends, despite oiling, polyurethaning and epoxying. The large...
Chris, to add to Doug's thought, what about trimming and adding neoprene on the edge just as you would on the portlights to seal them. You could I support...
Ahoy All, Just got back from a summer's cruising and a trip across the pond in a Swan 65 (still rather have my Dana!) I have been following the various posts...
Also, remember that, I believe, the epoxy is not UV protected which degrades over time. Me - I painted my bowsprit. Plus guests kept stepping on the aft curved...
I made a foolish mistake recently by not buying ATTITUDE, which just sold. I foolishly waited too long. I am a serious buyer for a Dana in the $50,000 price...
Hi Ned. I`m thinking of selling my Dana. It is a 1988 #118. It is on a heavy duty trailer custom made for it by Loadmaster. About 650 hours on the motor....
Can anyone advise me where to get a bimini top for my Dana. We have the tanbark sails on Seabear, so that color would be a necessity. I A note: some time ago I...
Hi group, I've got two questions I'd like to ask the group: 1) I'll be placing an order for a new mainsail soon and would like to know how the people that have...
Jim, I went to a loose-footed full-batten main made by Quantum Sails. I have been very happy with it. I installed the Strong Track System on the mast and the...
Was it an older S&S Swan 65 or a newer Frers design? The old 65 is, in my humble opinion, the best looking Swan ever. Yes, Danas are great, but offshore racing...
Jerry, I got some local references and found a good canvas man as a result. I have attached some pictures that show my version of a dodger and bimini top. I...
Here is a pic of Slainte's bimini. It is a full enclosure. It all unzips. The top is in two pieces. The forward part goes about 2/3rds of the way. There is a...
I had my US made Main converted to a free footed main by Carol Hasse in Port Townsend. It is fabulous. Only negative is you can't collect rain water if you...
Thanks, Jerry. it looks great and worth keeping which I will. Your boat is looking great, but what else with a Dana. ... Thanks, Jerry. it looks great and...
