Well, I just got one after posting. It appears that one of our members has this rather annoying ChoiceMail service and has elected to receive individual...
Choicemal is a TMDA service (Tagged Message Delivery Agent). I use one, but not choicemail. The services can be great at stopping spam, but you have to know...
... I find it ironic that he is spamming people to advertise his ant-spam software. Anyway he has been banded from here, since it is obvious he is not ...
Actually Nels, I have to respectively disagree. I find that many people move to TMDA type of mail systems, without understanding the ramifications of what can...
I did not see it, so banning him was the right thing to do. I have seen many people screw up using TMDA. I was trying to give him the benfet of the doubt....
I was about 2-1/2 miles from the ramp, sailing along on a downwind run, minding my own business, when . . .l "CRACK!" ... Make your next mast from douglas fir....
... (Klip..) ... done. ... I Disagree, AF3 CAN be rescued from capsize. At least I've done it. Bailing out "all one feet" of water from the cabin floor is not...
Hi Dan - Hard to find DF in the northeast. I'm sure I could find a specialty mill that might have some, but your average home center or lumber yard is dealing...
... my use of them resulted in a failure. (KLIP) My opinion is that problem is in annual growth rings, they should never go thru the lumber. No matter what...
... As kid I had an 18ft oldtown canoe with sail and no floatation. I capsized he once or twice and had the same problem you have, We found by setting down in...
I had a strange thought today. Has anyone considered using a pole vault pole for a mast? It seems that might work on boats requiring a mast less than 15 feet. ...
... Hi David, In my capsize the wind was 10-15mph, I had full sail up, wind waves were close to 1 foot. I tried rounding up into the wind in a gust without...
As I slowly approach completion of my Fatcat2, there are a couple of questions running around in my mind, and I'd like to get some feedback on these. #1 The...
Mike, One of the problems with the internet is that people who don't really know will offer advice (like me). With that as a caveat.. 1) The gunwale on...
Thanks for the input, John. I do appreicate it. The aft deck is already on, attached to longitudinal members glued along the inside edge- same way as I did it...
Hello, I was cruising craigslist and found this ad; http://jacksonville.craigslist.org/boa/908317526.html They seem a bit pricey and the picture is kind of...
I've been (briefly) out in those conditions, and didn't feel at all uncomfortable. That must have been a heck of a gust! I'm surprised that your cabin filled...
What did you do with your windows? Did i change the line of the wale? I would say that the wales are absolutely critical to the integrity of the design and...
I have had a heck of a time trying to figure out why my 1956 30hp big twin jumps out of gear. I have adjusted the shift lever I believe the right way . I...
Just a thought. IIRC those props had a rubber cored hub. I'm wondering if what you had in the first place was hub slippage. These need to be torque tested to...
I had a spare prop on the boat and threw it on as a last attempt of desperation before the winter hits upstate ny. It was no better. Thanks for the thought...
Go to the Antique Outboard Motor Club website and post to their Ask A Member section. There are a number of guys there who have over 50 years of professional...
Good suggestions from Chris. I wasn't quite clear on how you had the linkage set. It should be set so the detent is pulling the lower unit harder into gear....
I used the clear deck plates from Duckworks for my portlights- the 5" for the aft portlight, and the 4" for the forward one. They are both mounted on a line...
Looking for some links on how to construct the companionway door. I have not decided as yet whether I will go with a "slide-in" door, or hinged doors, on my...
I like the way I did it on my Philsboat. I made two strips of wood 1/4 inch by about 1 1/2 that run parallel to the sides of the companion way hatch and...
Well I got the initiative to take the lower end off again and after getting a email from Max he suggested just replacing the clutch (if I had access to a cheap...
