My plan is to store her on the deck between the mast and companion way. This is absoulutly the best place to store a dinghy at sea because you have an...
We've got Shakabrah on the hard. The rudder seemed a little stiff to me and I wanted to free it up. I ended up taking the rudder off and taking off the pintles...

The good news is that after a lot of searching around I found 1/2" and 3/4" bronze nipples at Boaters World for attaching the bronze tees to the seacocks. The...
