I use the Race-Lite stainless straight gudgeons (like the ones at Glen-L) and have bent them for a sharp "V" as on aluminum or some composite canoes or to a...
Sorry I missed this on the last post. A handy trick when bending the light weight stainless gudgeons is to wrap a piece of paper around the pintle and place...
Thanks for the great advice! Makes good sense. Another question (I'm holding back, really <g>) on on the Old Town 169 the stern is a bit "blunt". It sounds...

I installed a rudder on the stern of an Old Town 174 which is probably similar. There was no problem with any of the fasteners. The plastic toward the center...

I'm about to rig my Waterman 16 with Solway Dory's 30 and 14 sqft lugsails, and am wondering about placement of the mainsheet. I've been reading Todd...
You're still going to need a tack downhaul with (maybe a 2-1 mechanical advantage for the bigger sail). The sheeting arrangement you mentioned without a tack...
Hello, I've recently found this group and really appreciate all of the info I've found through it. I look foreward to building my own rig some day. Several...
I'm attracted to the elegance of this approach - Any views on whether this would work in practice on my 30 sqft lugsail? As a sheeting approach it would work....
