Hi, I posted a log of my voyage on Minstrel (Dana #104) from Seward, Alaska to Puget Sound in summer 2006, in the passages section. It also contains a fairly...
Hi, benjy: Just let me get this straight: Instead of the usual two batteries, which are wired separately--one for "house" and one for starting, you have...
I think, perhaps this is being over simplified. If you permanently tie the two batteries in one parallel bank - then you need some way to isolate them so if...
Ahoy Jakob, Yes, the two batts are paralleled using the 'emergency' switch on the panel. Soon I will buy one of those little starting batteries and then I will...
Leon, Just take a look at the photos section of Double Eagle, please. The antenna shoud be a foot higher because the signal may be blocked by the solar panel...
I had one on a prior boat, did not find it very useful as too many false alarms, even mid-Atlantic.May have been picking up ships that were "hull down". John...
Ahoy Leon, I have one of these on my Dana. It worked really well mid Atlantic but became completely useless near Gibraltar where there are powerful radars that...

Hi Leon, I have both the CARD and AIS as well as radar. The CARD antenna is mounted on the pushpit with the control head below the circuit panel in the...
... Hello Karen. Thank you for posting your log of the Alaska trip. I really enjoyed reading it and can only wonder if I would have the courage to attempt ...
Chris, Yep, I had a nice forward searching radar on the first boat I crossed the Pacific on which I used every day... the USS Edson DD946. I think that set up...
Laurence. I always assumed that the OEM pump was a Johnson pump that Yanmar used to 'marinize' the basic 2GM block? Maybe not... Bill Huesmann (A long ways...
A 100# anchor and 200' of 1" chain!!! Just kidding -- soneone on the list will likely have good advice. Also either Tom or Max of Seacraft Yachts can probably...
Robert I think have seen your boat. Are you in Bellingham? I would suggest a 25lb CQR or a 22lb Delta with 100' of 1./4HT chain and 200' 1/2" line that way...
Robert, Are you in b/ham? If so, would like to meet you when I get there later this month. I am in Squalicum Harbor. I have 50 feet of 1/4" chain and 230+...
I have, I guess, a contrarian opinion to those who have responded so far. Specifically, 100 feet of 1/4 chain is way too much for the area you are going to be...
Ahoy, Martin, I totally agree. We have Delta 22 with about 20 feet of 10mm (3/8") chain. I find the heavier the chain the better, the rest is rope. This has...
The simplest way to fix the sailing at anchor is an all chain rode. I will never understand why PSC put such a wimpy anchor locker on a boat that is...
Hi, benjy: I acquired a FinDelta anchoring sail from Banner Bay Marine (www.bannerbaymarine.com) last year. It's pricey, but it makes a hell of a difference...
Does anyone have a Dana at or near this place? I am staying at the DoubleTree there for a couple of days and would wnjoy a chance to visit or chat at this end...
Bill I live in Irvine and have my Dana 183, SV Sunset, docked at Dana Point. Just finishing the finals of spring outfitting. She's looking pretty good. My...
Hi Martin and others, I have a couple of questions: First: I have a lot of weight in front (in my case on "Dana", Dana#199): 100 feet of chain, Delta anchor,...
Hi Kees, Great questions, and I am not sure I can answer all of them with my perspective because I do not use a windlass, and all my sailing todate is coastal...
Jake/Cecille, this seems like the right idea! Save chain weight, looks beautiful, and for a sail not out of line on price! Best, Martin EOS #58 ... Marine...
