Steve; No galley, no stove. I guess I have always had a fire extinguisher on board. Cheap insurance, you never know. This one fits nicely. Bud C-18_pensacola ...
Moe brings up a lot of good points. The one that sticks with me is that all the variables leave me to believe that even if you go to extremes to make our...
On board in a storm at night, I just say my prayers and go to sleep. Well, maybe there is a little emphasis on "if I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord...
In Calif., it's the law to have a fire extinguisher on any boat (and mounted inside the cabin) if that cabin is capable of sleeping one or more people. I have...
Going through all the old messages.... I used a simple tarp over the boom for a while, but finally added a simple two bow Bimini. (check the photo album under...
Reporting aboard.... I bought my Capri 18 'Spirit' early last summer and have really enjoyed sailing her. What a sweet little ship she is. She is in the water...

Howdy Alla Yall! (Tex-Talk for Ahoy Mates) I was reading all the old messages. LOTS of good stuff there. But Yahoo Groups seems to have gone down for now so...
RE - 16 foot long extension tube -- boy that is a serious piece of metal to carry around. they say that things are bigger in texas! i lengthened my stock...
Welcome to the group. This is a fairly new group, but the members are very helpful. Sounds like you are doing a great job in restoring and improving your...
... Hey Russ, I have to agree with the helpful part. For instance - the cockpit step. I've been scratching my head trying to solve that one and still be able ...
... I tried to arrange the long one's mounts so I could just slide it out and hook up but I wasn't happy with the geometry. 16 feet won't retract far enough...
Richard, thanks for the info on he bimini. Someone in the group has installed the step and I got the C-Mesales contact from him. When I install my step in the...
... I've been trying to get over to see Blaks about his boat, but we haven't been able to hook up yet. He's on the "other side" of the Ray Hubbard. I wonder...
hello richard - i think the triad trailer company has an arrangement where they store an extension that is as long as the trailer and also use it when ...
I installed one of those steps on my C18 this past summer. The idea came from a picture on the C18 site. There's a pretty good pic on my website here: ...

Richard, we're taking a little different approach because we want a table, something like Ron Houston's that slides back between the seats/berths. Ron's is...
Sounds like an ambitious plan, Moe. Check out the clearance height tho. I kept mine low so we could easily put stuff in the storage area. like our sea bags...
... Good advice, Ron. One of the reasons I'm keeping table height lower is for overhead clearance when folding it forward. I plan to mock it all up in pine...

hello cavelamb - i was looking at the picture albums and i noticed the one of your boat on the trailer. i noticed you had multiple trailer jacks - what is the...
I normally put car jack stands under the rear when parking for some time. I then crank up the fron jack to get rain water to flow out the scuppers, steady the...
hi ron - i also have jack stands, but i was looking for something that i didnt have to worry about picking up or leaving behind. i had looked in the northern...
One of my boats came with swing down stands. Well, at least part of one. Road hazards will take their toll. My stands go in the back of the truck along with...
