Re: Topic 1000

Every time I have rebedded a port light I have done some epoxy work to make the cut-outs in the cabin sides fit better. I also seal any exposed wood with epoxy. Last time I used West System 6-10, which, while expensive, is so much tidier than mixing and thickening in a cup. I mask the cut-out on bo...

Re: 6 Volt conversion in F38 or F36?

Re: Haarstick jib-top reacher

Hans,
I saw Scherezde when she was at Warren River Boatworks. On your long runs with the Top Reacher, do you use running backstays? I don't recall if you had them or not.

Re: Looking for Massachusetts Sail maker
