Dear Collective, Hoping to use our Kismet (hull 156) as a tender for our Solstice (Sabre 426) this season. Anyone have experience with gunwale guards for a...

Until my wife's illness prevented us from sailing together; over a period of 25 years, we owned a series of four sailboats; the last being a beautiful blue...
Hi, I've recently been smitten with Roger Crawford's boats. Downsized from a Catalina 30 (which we didn't use nearly enough to justify the trouble, not to...
There are 2 or 3 on the hard at Washington sailing marina. I do not see them used often, so they may be willing to sell. I sailed mine on the upper potomac...
