Hi all, I took Frolic out for a sail on Labor Day. When I arrived at my slip at the Brisbane Marina, I noticed I have a new neighbor who happens to have...
Hi Tom: I'm Addie L's owner. Just moved her over from Loch Lomond, San Rafael. Happened to be looking at another boat at Brisbane, and was impressed with the...
Hi Bill, I look forward to meeting you. The marina is located in the shadow of San Bruno mountain and is very calm and warm compared to Oyster Point which is...
Hi, I have a Yankee 28 that had the same problem except the wet balsa extended all the way around the boat, except the fore deck which the core is teak ply. I...
Addie L's mast has approximately 10 to 15 small pop rivets at the partner. Some are just above deck, while others are in the partner area itself, where the...
The last rivits I saw were used to attach an internal piece of PVC tube to separate the masthead wiring from the halyards. Norm Makai To:...

Awhile back I purchased Winterhawk, Y30 Hull #122 in southern Cal and had her shipped to my home in Sequim Wa. The plan was to restore her and do some serious...
I'm concerned cramming pieces of glass into a hole would result in a lot of voids and little strength. If you could get enough thickened resin in there to...

The conventional appproach to this fix would have been to remove the upper skin , remove the rotten and wet balsa, install new balsa and lay up the new top...
We have just come into possession of hull #60 'Amazing Grace' which used to be September Song. I would love to communicate with any Yankee 30 owners in the...
I do not think that any of the Yankee 30s started out with masts with riveted joints but there are at least 2 reasons I can think of that would explain why...
Wow! I think I'd be looking for another marina, boat, hobby! Sounds like a lot of work! I certainly don't see any signs of the modifications I should be seeing...
I have one of those boats that used to be docked in the Santa Cruz inner harbor. It had a custom hinged tabernacle. I have the tabernacle removed and the...
Speaking of masts... I would like to know the basic maintenance for the mast step. Does it have weep holes to drain any water that may get in through mast ...
Hi all, I usually lurk here, but felt I should give a little advice. First, the mast should have some weep holes, otherwise water will collect in the mast from...
Thanks Jack for your comments. I know of Yankee 30s that have experienced similar problems of water standing inside of the mast if there aren't weep holes....
Does anyone know where I can get an owner's manual for the Yankee 30? Also, I'm thinking about cutting out all the balsa cored decks (because of leaks, soft...
Hi, I have a 28¹ Yankee that had leaked along the toe rail and nearly all deck hardware locations. One of the beauties of the balsa core is that it is...
I'm thinking about switching to a 6 gallon fuel (diesel) tank. My Yanmar sips fuel and keeping 15 gallons topped off doesn't seem to make much sense for Bay...
First a quick introduction. A couple of months ago I bought hull #73 and have been sailing her as much as possible. I love the boat, the more I sail her the...
Big questions but I have one brief comment about the lines. Remember that line materials and technology have advanced a great deal in the last few years. You...
Good point Peter. I tend to think that the size currently on the boat are a bit big, but I will be single-handing and short-handing quite a bit so anything...
Here is a place to start with New England ropes. http://www.neropes.com/LineSelector.aspx . Using their selector 10mm VPC is the best all round for main and...

Where do you keep your boat? One of my sons just moved to Bellingham and I wondered if perhaps that is where you are. From: yankee30@yahoogroups.com...
