Unbeknownst to me at the time, this video clip was taken of Sampaguita 2 - underway last weekend: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hT0j25wAb4. Our plan was to...
... Sampaguita ... very ... Hmmm. To view the video, looks like you'll need to copy the link, paste it into your browser URL, and remove the period at the...
Wonder how the 24 and 25 would do in a match race? Looks like the Dana has a little more waterline, but is a little beamier. The transom would make the Dana a...
Hi Dana Group, I removed the leaking water tank from my 1987 Dana yesterday and also repaired the starboard scuppers which were the source(I think..) of a leak...
Have almost completed taking the platform back to bare teak. Used a stripper which worked pretty well. I am curious as to what other members ofthe ...
I used Cetol for at least 15 years and while it was better than varnish I was never happy when it came time to touch up the teak. While searching for a better...
It would be interesting to compare the performance of the PSC 25 and the Dana 24 sailing in the same conditions. The mast clearance of the Dana is 37'4", but...
Sorry, Kees, for the delayed reply - have been busy getting Cecilie ready for another sailing season. I was born in The Netherlands, came to Canada in 1956....
Having a dodger on the Dana helps a lot to reduce exposure to wind, sun and rain on long trips. But, I miss the bimini I had on my V40! I have an awning that...
Al -- interesting question. I'm reminded every boat's a compromise. ;) That said I was aboard LaurE out in San Pedro last month and she's rigged with a...
I, too have been casting about for some kind of bimini to shade the aft end of the cockpit for the dog (wife, too). I need something that attaches to the...
Al, There is a picture of a bimini on Graceful Exit under "Photos." It is made in two sections so that one can sail comfortably under protection and add the...
Laurence, I for one would be interested in your other pictues and close ups of how the connection fore and aft is made. Thanks, Martin, EOS 58 ... is ... ...
Martin, I'll post some pictures. I was just telling Alan that I thought that the frames would be a nuisance and that I would fold them back when not in use......
My boat was ordered with slotted aluminum toe-rails. I use one inch yellow webbing as the jackline. It is attached to the aft-most slot in the toe rail with...
Thanks Alan, and since I have an older Dana with wood toe-rails, I am thinking through the options. I am curious whether you have considered an arrangement...
Interesting idea. On page 13 of the June 2008 issue of Practical Sailor is this quote:"I prefer a tether that is half the boats length, and attached amidships,...
Hi-- I mentioned earlier that I'm selling my '86 Dana, but want to advise the group that I have a Triad trailer for sale as well. Over-spec'd with 2-8,000 lb...
Bob: I sent an email from my business account the other day (bill.huesmann@...) but fear it may have been swept up in your spam filter. Did you get it? ...
When I first got the Dana(#345) i noticed that the boat seemed to "squat" and not sit level on the lines, even when empty of all gear and tanks empty. I found...
Ahoy Al, I had a very poor waterline painted as well (#342) so I dealt with that. However, my exhaust only goes under at nearly full speed. And even if I hang...
Ahoy all of those later Dana owners with the Yanmar 3YM20 engine fitted. I recently had a serious problem. The engine was losing power. It happened very fast...
... I posted some pics of the stern exhausts, and the raised waterline. From Port to Starboard across the stern: Propane Drain, additional Bilge Pump Drain,...
Al, I measured Dana #344 and the top of the exhaust is about 25" from the stern top edge and the bottom of the exhaust is about 5" above the water with my...
Ahoy Al, Your Dana seems much lower than mine. I have posted a pic for you. Bear in mind that the boat was not very heavily loaded at the time and the...
Ahoy All, I recently bought a Kiwiprop for Doolittle and here's what I think about it: The prop was made and delivered all the way from NZ to France in just 5...
