Rubber bungs be good! Of course one would need several to replace the lost ones, they would need to have a low profile so as not to snag the sheet but still...
So there she lay dockside -- Nancy Lee, all prim and lovely and ready for the new season -- snotters snugged, sail creased, ensign rippling at the stern, and...
Congrats Roger on what sounds like a real rip-snorter of a season opener for you! Knowing that you're a "Wednesday Sailor", I've been checking every Thursday...
I know of three Swampscott Sailing Dories for sail, one in FL and two in New England. Great all around beach boat and camp cruiser. Call or email me at the...
Hey Don -- Great to see you on here. I'm betting you've had several sails already, what with the lake in your back yard! Hoping we can connect again at...
OK, I'll bite. Where are the New England boats? I saw one earlier this year for sale over in Eastern Ct. They are beautiful and, I suspect, quite seaworthy and...
Hi Roger and gang. Where's the Florida dory? I'm traveling to Florida next week (part business, part pleasure) and would love to swing a ride on a dory! This...

I'm sailing my lovely Melonseed, Courtship, on Otsego Lake in northern Michigan. That's her permenant home now, as I no longer trial here between our summer...
I haven't got a sail to trade, but the word "trade" brings this story to mind. A middle aged, white American woman was driving down a long secondary road...
I am picking up a lightly used boat in Connecticut in early June and trailering it to Maryland. Is it better to fasten the custom fitted canvas over the boat,...

Dave, I recommend using the cover when trailering. _,_.As for the mast, oars, etc., I'd wrap and tape several layers of bubble wrap thick enough to prevent...
Tony, Thanks for catching that very important point about the C/B safety pin. My trailer has a flat roller directly under the C/B, so I never think about that....
Yesterday (May 17th) and the day previous I enjoyed a pair of delightful sails on Otter, her 2nd and 3rd of the season. For the first, I have to go all the way...
Greetings fellow Melonheads! John Meyers and my first post. I am the proud owner of a Crawford hull and sail it up in Rangeley Lake in Maine. Can anyone...
Greetings all. John Meyers here and my very first post. I finally purchased my Crawford Melonseed last year and sail it on the beautiful Rangeley Lake in the...
Trevor, The water level on the river is REALLY low. Since we went out for that sail at the beginning of April the level has dropped further to a 40-year record...
Albert, I have yet to try my drysuit, but I've heard that talcum powder will help on the neoprene seal. Let us know if you try it how it works! Tony...
I think that C Cushions (ccushions.com) makes a cushion that will fit snugly over the rail that surrounds the cockpit and provides a good moveable backrest....

Hi George, I really should read all the labels first. I've got a drysuit made by Kokatat that has latex (not neoprene) neck & wrist gaskets. I'll hunt around...
