... That was a great post. Keep them coming! Where I am at now it has been blowing around 20 for the past few days and it is expected to last a few more. I...
Hey Everyone, 1) Is it reasonable to expect the boom and spinnaker pole to be water tight? 2) Obviously the mast isn't, and it seems to be able to hold a pint...
Hi Avram Here are the answers: First the spinnaker pole - this should be more or less watertight - any rivet holes etc can be covered with tape etc. There...
Avram - I am by no means Mr. Laser 2, but I'll take a stab. I'd pop rivets into the holes with some silicone to not only assist in sealing it up, but also...

Dude, you gotta get that guy to the Newport regatta... with his boat - I'll provide crew if necessary... Is it your jib leech that's vibrating, or your main?...
Hey Everyone, Ok, so we have 3 boats signed up for the Newport Regatta so far - which is about as many as most of the other classes at this stage - very cool!...

Hey Dave, Just found this place, http://www.harrisdecals.com They charge $6.50 for up to 20 letters, 3" tall. They have a decent number of fonts, effects &...
