Hi Ike Some people register their boats with the AMYA secretary for that class to obtain a hull number. They use the last two numbers of the hull number and...
Hi Bob I have had some of the same problems as you have had. Most Of my equipment is used and I have found that matching transmitter and receiver is mandatory....
Hi Bad idea. The hull deck flange is a vital component in keeping the hull dry and providing some protection from a collision. In fact it may be a good idea to...
Hi I have had some luck with using 75 MHz crystals in a 72 MHz radio. If the units are older and not tuned too sharply it may work, but test the distance that...
... hull ... Rich, I disagree with the word "vital." My flangeless boats are dry and have also withstood the rigors of racing - one for 2 and the other for 3...
Flanged or flangeless… both can be very attractive when completed. Either method needs to ensure a watertight joint that will hold up to the rigors of...
Hey John, Very decent description you gave us there, it a great tip and very well presented too... Thank you. I'm cutting and pasting this one to my growing...
About 9 months ago, AMYA members / Soling1M class members voted on lots of motions...only one passed, that being a Lazarette (Hatch) could be placed over the...
Thanks for the initiative, George! I installed a Victor lazarette this last month. It is easy to do as a retrofit if desired. Measure and scribe carefully and...
I made a fancy one from .040 styrene. It slides into a groove and is water tight. Saw a deck hatch at the ODOM National's here in Edina. Seems a disposable Zip...

Any advice on attaching home made decals to the sails? I made decals using Avery clear transparency paper. I then water "resisted" thm with clear acrylic spray...
In a message dated 10/10/2004 2:40:41 PM Eastern Daylight Time, ... Greetings: My Opinion: Put nothing on the sails except what has to be there...i.e.,...
I wouldn't stick anything to the sails unless you expect you'll need to remove it eventually. Instead, make stencils out of your decals and use permanent...

There is no way to put the decals on the way you describe without adversely affecting the sail. You'd have to do as Paul suggests and either paint the design...
Hi all, What's the current thinking on battens? I read the rule: 6.2 Battens Mainsail: No more than 3 battens positioned in such a way that the leach is...

Thanks for the reply George. So you'd suggest only something fairly thin and felxible for batten material. I saw in the archives that Alain recommended sail...

Ok...here's the follow up. The battens were definitely long enough to stop the roach from folding over or flapping. (I went a bit shorter than allowed, jsut ...
