Would anyone care to recommend a boatyard in the Los Angeles / Long Beach (California) area? My Flicka is in need of some attention -- at least new bottom...
If you are going to do the work yourself, or have a contract person do it....the most economical haul out and lay day charges are at EDDIE'S on Cerritos ...

Hi, I live in Dickinson and keep my Flicka at Galveston Yacht basin. Used to keep it on Clear Lake, but too much traffic for me. We should get together....
I forgot to mention that at one, time there were 7 Flickas in the Galveston Bay area. Tell us about your boat. Hal. Hal wrote: Hi, I live in Dickinson and keep...

Anything over 5' is wasted water!  I am on Mobile Bay (average depth 9') and spend a LOT of time in 7' water until I go out the channel and hit the Gulf. ...

Hi Richard, Thanks for the reply. I'm a bit of a newbie in greater LA/LB harbor, so I really appreciate the benefit of your experience. Best, Gary. Scamp, #28...
I've just arrived back in Minorca after crossing from Spain and had some sailing alongside Doolittle (Dana 342) on the French coast. On all points of sail the...
I note that the Dana 24 is now being produced by the new Pacific Seacraft. The base price in 2007 was $149,000. Fully fitted out, with the three-axle trailer,...
A Dana or a Flicka? I went with a Flicka because of the lower initial cost, ease of use, and ability to find a 20' slip with very little effort. I move my boat...
Woody. I won't go into a long diatribe about apples and oranges except to say comparing buying a new Dana to a used Flicka is kinda -- well -- silly. :) That...
I have had both. My first blow boat was a Flicka--and I still regret the day I sold it. I loved the Dana--what a boat!!! But, the Flicka is the finest vessel...
Destin holds a place in my heart. Nearly 50 years ago, I took a bicycle trip from Oak Ridge, Tennessee with a final destination of Key West. By the time I...
Valid point. If the used prices are about the same, then it seems the decision would revolve around how many people are likely to be aboard. I'm mainly solo or...
Don't forget the Allegra 24, it has the interior of the Dana with the basic design of the Flicka. The Allegra 24 "Fred Bingham" Is faster on every point of...
My complaint with the Dana is that they only seem to offer one layout, which doesn't really work for me. I think it's a fine boat for a single sailor or a...
Ram, the Allegra was a production boat built by Scanmar marine but very few were built. All boats built by Scanmar were subject to an independent survey at...
I am still wondering if there is a maximum distance you can set the end of the vang on the boom before performance suffers. Can someone please measure the...
Randy, The bolt through the boom for the U-bracket that holds the upper block of the vang on my boat is 28" from the aft edge of the mast. The center of the...
Rusty...... The ideal for a vang is 45 degrees...for even pull on mast and boom, but there is no hard and fast rule......and the exact angle of the vang is...
... block of the vang on my boat is 28" from the aft edge of the mast. Our boom has two U-brackets (bails) on it - the aft one is for mainsheet block, the fore...
I do wonder if the build quality of Pacific Seacraft is the real reason the Flicka is such a legend. I'm pleased to see PSC has a new web site at last and...
My French main sail came with plastic sail slides that keep breaking. The old Ulman main I had came with heavy duty slides that had a metal bit moulded into a...
