Thanks Marc, that's just my plan also, right now I'm doing cold chisel removal of the grosser stuff, then to the grinder. There was recent discussion here...
Hi, I'm a fairly new owner of a T-22 and want to change from a traveller to the regular method of holding down the aft end of the boom (Already the names of...
I'd like to make a bimini, but my traveler is midship...just forward of the cockpit hatches....which reduces the size I can make. Has anyone ever seen a...
Karen, Nope, it made no sense to Me (chuckle) I just posted two pictures titled Main Sheet (see New Photos above) thinking perhaps they might help you to...
hello everyone, quick question on mooring preferences. i am moored in salt water (12' or so at high tide) and have heavy chain from the block to a swivel,...
... Except for a very few designs, most sailboats suffer from this. The common solution is a dodger that comes aft almost to the mainsheet and a bimini aft,...
... I don't have a mooring, but I used to and suffered similar. I like the idea of a swivel, I have one on my primary anchor where it changes from chain to...
... If I'm understanding correctly, then all that goes in between is the mainsheet itself. Upper block attaches to the piece at the end of the boom and the...
Except,when I attempted to change from the traveller there was some sort of metal thing (a clip of some sort) that was attached to the plate with a hole in the...
Karen, What you're looking for is called a Clevis. They come in many sizes and configurations, but are all basically a "U"-shaped piece of stainless with a...
Honfleur, T-7.5 #143, is scheduled to splash on Friday, assuming the weather cooperates and I can find enough hands to assist in stepping the mast and getting...
Where is splash in Keith? I have friday off, I launched my 7.5 May 6th and have had 4 good sails already. Perhaps - could help. Sent wirelessly from my...
Karen I think what Keith was referring to is the shackle with clevis. There are many styles of shackles from bent straps of steel with a clevis on one end to...
Glenn, Here are links to several photos showing my mooring gear that I use with my T22. Be sure to read the commentary beneath the photos as it answers some of...
Kent, thanks for the reply. i did consider stainless but with some research i found the galvanic potential between ss and galvanized steel is to great and the...
bill, great info...you and i must have gone to mooring school together! my only additions are a larger (1,000lb.) block and i have a swivel between the heavy...
Ah, thanks for the offer. I am on Penobscot Bay, Rockland Maine. I suspect a bit of a haul for you, no? :-) But it looks like I have at least one other...
Glenn, ... Then our boats will sink or float together in a storm ;-). ... Your boat is larger and I assume heavier but 1000 lb seems a bit high. It would be a...
Just to let you know how the T28 keel is going, the first step was to check with the previous owner when the keel had been worked on last. It looks like it...
I have posted the pics of myb auto pilot adapter block. However, I looked at the photos of the auto pilot installation on Bonaire and it seems much simpler and...
Finally! We're in the water & sailing. My first boat & still have lots to learn. We are surprise by the number of sailors telling us about their experience...
i am thinking of replacing the 1975 15hp johnson on my tanzer 26 was wondering if, with the advances in technology a 4 stroke 9.9hp would be sufficient..,...
I have a 9.9 - 4 stroke Honda and yes it is more then enough to power the vessel in normal conditions, but what if we were in a storm and needed more power to...
I have a 5hp on my T22. 2 years ago, coming into Rockland, I was under power, bucking a strong headwind that was piling up seas so tall that the nose of the...
I have a 2004 - 9.9 Honda and when it needs replacing, I would get a larger motor (possibly a 15 hp) and throttle it back till I needed the extra power to over...
