yes ff4! Bacon sails in annapolis. They are a dealer, one salesman loves the San Juan too he had one. www.baconsails.com. My Genny's all are equipped with that...

Mark, That certainly is a great price. What does it include? Just the foil, bearings, and drum, I'd presume. I don't know for sure, but odds are your...
List, Last week while motoring the boat down the bayou on my way to Lake Pontchartrain I saw ahead what I assumed was a heron. As I got close I realized it...
In my earlier post I referred to a #5 and #6 bolt rope. Really meant luff tape...hadn't finished my morning coffee! Bill Sims #703 [Non-text portions of this...
Bill - They average up to 4 feet and the record is 74.5". Before you think I am just smart, I looked it up. I should think boating environs would qualify for...
I wonder if human development and destruction of habitat has caused the same thing on your lake as it has around here. The animals are coming closer because...
This is to the SJ24 who I raced against last week on Lake Lewisville. That was the first time we had seen you over at DCYC. Welcome and come on back. I was...
Dave, The snake was in the bayou, not Lake Pontchartrain itself. My marina is about a mile up the bayou that's I'm sure has had gators and snakes for millions...
#1 I am going out again today and I am going to set the spinniker. I was wondering about the placement of the guy and the sheet. Do you bring it all the way...
#1. Do NOT take the sheet and guy (or any line for that matter) straight to a winch-- you're just asking for an override. Put blocks at the aft end of the...
Chris, This is Cliff that sold you the sails. I have some things that are on the toe rail called twings. They are small swivel blocks attached to the toe rail...
My bow cap on #178 is missing. I see Gene Adams' price list shows a black fibreglass replacement. I recall seeing an SJ24 with a nice stainless cap. Can...
Lines must lead up to a winch at about a 5-to 8-degree angle to prevent overrides of the sheet on the drum. If lead blocks are too high to allow this angle up...
I just drew the holes the same so that the same fastener could be used in all four places. That could mean the top of the rudder post (or whatever they screw...
If you don't want the mast supported by the pivot pin (I suspect you don't) you can slot the hole it is in. I think my dad's old Venture 222 had slots in the...
I would go with fiberglass rope to form the fillet. It'd be a bit heavier, but you could probably get by with one less layer of tape. actually, woven roving...
I agree with Bill. I have found that my mainsail feeds itself quite well w/o anyone on the foredeck. I'm thinking of getting a more fancy prefeeder, like the...
It's been a busy few days: stripping off all deck hardware, finding an area of delamination on the cabin top, port side, overdrilling and filling all the old...
You really dug right into that boat, didnya!? I think you should put the picture of it on the trailer behind your new tow rig in the album too so everyone can...
I'm just learning to fly my spinaker and have read that some sailors use a preventor tied to the boom. I've been able to control my boom when jibing without a...
If you have a standard mast and at least part of the mast step, you might want to consider the pivoting mast step from Gene Adams. I've raised the mast with...
I wouldn't sail without a preventer. I have two lines that run from the fiiting on my boom for the top of the vang, out and down to blocks on my shroud ...
I think it depends on where you sail. If you're on a long run a preventer is worthwhile. On more confined waters with frequent jibes, a preventer is a pain...
Dave: I've tried to call Gene a few times, but his machine keeps telling me "... memory full" . So I sent him an email to see if he'll reply to that. About his...
Personally, I don't like them. Too many times I've forgotten it was on when I wanted to gybe or needed to sheet in the main. I've seldom (if ever) had an...
What was your impression of the Lancer 25? Didn't they make a 28 that was also trailerable? They first came out when I was a kid sailing in Dana Point, CA They...
