Just wanted to let everyone know that the rudder on Avocet was successfully removed and repaired. It was really frozen in there but was finally removed,...
There are many reasons for the move to Yahoo. I like the ability to send messages as email and to receive your posts as email. If I want to review an old...
Rob, I hope you're documenting your progress in your restoration of Impetuous. I've got a few photos that you sent me shortly after you began working on the...
A couple of years ago, Carl Seipel, the owner of the Yankee 30 "Tootsie" sent a nice write-up and photos of his conversion from an Atomic 4 to a Nanni diesel...
Yikes, Just read the description of Tootsie's installation, seems like a very complex approach ending in a small engine. I was faced with the same problems...
Cliff Hunter took a similar approach to Doug's when he had a Universal 3-cyl / 25hp diesel installed in "Native Son" (#126) a couple years ago, including...
I was recently on a Y 30 with a brand new 18hp Nanni being installed under the dinette seat. The mechanic was present at the time and he said there was no...
18hp sounds like a good size engine to me. Much depends on the use of a reduction gear and the right prop to actually get enough power out of any engine. In...
Silverpoint is one of the Yankee 30s built by Heritage, so the configuration of the engine compartment under the setee may be different from the boats built by...
I have "Felicity", also a Heritage Yankee. She has a 12hp Ferryman under the cockpit. 12hp powers the boat good enough most of the time. Trent Steve Botts...
I sailed on a few Y-30's before I purchased mine and started the re- fit. Two had Yanmar 2gm20's (rated at 18-20hp) and one had an Atomic- 4. All of the...

I have been rebuilding my Y30 #39 "Windhover" in a shop for over 2 years now. I am at the point of determining the waterline. I have the original gelcoat...
... I don't think moving the waterline is a good idea. The boat is only designed to be loaded so much and still be seaworthy. The original waterline should...
When we painted the topsides on 'Pearl', We marked the waterline before taking it out of the water. We used a drill and made a slight dimple at 4 points......
Coming out of my exhaust manifold is 1 1/4" pipe, it travels through the bulkhead then turns 90 degrees vertical to hook up with the standpipe. Since the...

Guess I don't know what you mean. Is your mast spliced at some point with an insert? If so, where is it spliced and why would you want to take it apart? The...
