Hi Andy, Thanks for the message. I am only a hopeful Yankee 30 owner. It is the boat for me. One of these days. Regarding the great brass debate - so called...
Doug, Stay tension is pretty much a personal touch and racers generally adjust differently than cruisers. Anyway, here's one way to do it. Set the uppers such...
Richard, Good to hear back, much good information. I wanted to use stainless for strength, however the quadrant(wheel steering)is not stainless and I didn't...
Hi Richard, I was planning to go forward without discussing this further but I got a call back today at work from a boatbuilding icon and decided to share with...
The only place that might still have the parts would be Rig Rite in Rhode Island. Best chance is his website @ Rigrite.com.. You will be better served, and...
The mainsheet system on my Yankee 30 MK III was totally frozen. The track was in overall good condition. My rigger removed the old system, polished the track...
I am looking to put a dodger on my mk1. If anyone has designed one, or recently had one made I would like to hear opinions. Also, would like to get an idea...
I just sewed a new one for Amigo. I used the existing frame, so it looks a lot like the old one, except I made the front window area larger. Also made the...
I built a dodger for Andiamo , the hardware will probably be in the realm of $200 and as Steve said the soft material will be about $300. I mocked up what I...
I'd love to find someone selling an old frame, or one from a similar boat, but that is unlikely. How did you deal with the traveler, does the dodger get in the...
My dodger does not interfere with the traveler in any way. If you extend the sides of the dodger further back, make sure you won’t interfere with your...
There is no problem with my traveler when the dodger is up. I am over 6 foot and have no problems with space in using the dodger, I will admit that I like to...
Steve - I had a dodger made for my Mk III by Sean Breese at Breezy Upholstery (4110 Roosevelt Way NE, Seattle, WA 98105 - 206.545-8538). The result is quite...
If you don't mind my asking, what did Breezy Upholstery charge to build the dodger. I am in Washington and am considering having it built rather then doing it...
Hi Tom, I have a direct drive Atomic 4 on my boat so our prop requirements are different. The shafts were originally 7/8'". You can measure your shaft ...
Hi Tom, Props can be a bit complex. The correct prop for your boat is dependent on a number of variables. The HP of the engine, how fast it turns at max power,...

Good evening. I am 'bella, I am in the process of purchasing Cache O Wind, hull #67, a 1972 mark II. The deal will be finalized when i get back from my ...
Steve; When I had my standpipe checked for corrosion about ten years ago, my exhaust guy (who is at least as old as dirt and has been fabricating and repairing...
John, You're absolutely right about the standpipe originally installed in the Yankee 30. It is a great design and it will not allow water to flow back into...
