Flicka friends: Has anyone in the fleet tried a "Campbell Sailer" propellor? It's sort of a poor man's feathering prop--but it doesn't feather. A fixed prop,...
Tom, I was quoted 1078 BP minus 15% for individual = $1322 USD If 3 or more props are ordered, 20% discount = $1244 Plus shipping. I also received one reply...

Tom, Missed part of your question: I told them I had a 1GM10 1997 and they suggested we check our transmissions, there is a tag that gives the ratio: 26:1 is...
Hello Everybody, I subscribed to the group a few weeks ago. I don't own a Flicka as yet, but have been a long time fan of her. I have manage to locate a set of...

During the process of removing the mast, shoring up the mast arch, refinishing the mast step, and replacing my rigging I forgot to mark my original spot for...
Sounds like a very cool and ambitious project. For my two or three cents... Gamine is a glass boat, no compression post inside the cabin for the mast, but I...
Don't worry about this question. Just found a picture I took of the step before I covered it with epoxy. Guess I'm not completely clueless. Thanks anyway....
For basic information. The mast arch is very strong but still susceptible to deflection. That was the case with Dangerous when I bought her and probably...
Woody, Yes it is one in the same. It is also the prop that Angus Beare has been using in the Mediteranean for sometime now. That makes two, if we can get one...
