Ken, Congratulations on your new purchase. I own a Clipper 22 and love it. I own a Canvas/Sail repair shop located on the water in the State of New...
Hi Ken, There isn't any finished area under the cockpit of a CM26... it is plain structural fiberglass some emergency boyancy foam on the rear end and a...

Re: avoiding electric overrun: I have not thought this through very much, but an idea that occured to me is to embed a small magnet inside the stainless cable....
Hi John, Sorry if I may have offended you in any way when I explained why I was concerned about solvent based polyurethane foam... I only intended to provide a...
No offense taken. The way I look at it is this: In this country Liability Law is King. Lawyers spend every waking moment trying to find a way to enrich ...
