Hi, I got only one question about the single pin-hinge. Are you going to only use one of them and don't you think there will be alot of pressure placed on it? ...
About three weeks ago I was forced by circumstance to perform two strong wind/cold water, offshore, novice canoe sailor rescues. I was also under sail, which...

Hi all, I know I'm sailing on dangerous waters, walking on thin ice or sticking my nose somewhere it does not necessarily belong when I comment this rudder...

Kia Ora Howard, This is a subject that has been at the back of my mind for some years. That is the problem, at the BACK of my mind. We are all bullet proof, ...
Howard.. I think it's a GREAT idea post any and everything about safety in these little boats. As you pointed out, there's not much out there for the sailing...
Hello Don. I agree on the safety page or some other shared/written vehicle as posts here get buried quickly and folks like me who check the site sporadically...
