Let me begin with a thank you to Kent, Bill K., Dan & Lori, Colin, John C., and Jean -Piere for their thoughtful responses to my previous question about Dinghy choices. I must admit I am not sure how

I also have used toothpaste with good results on hatch plexi.And the added benefit is the boat has a nice minty fresh smell afterward. With bestregards, Mark Skipper Sailing Vessel-

Not being able to see where you are going will leave you worse than puckered, Willy! Use the fresh water. Make some more... Joel F. Potter THE EXPERIENCED AMEL GUY 954-812-2485

My problem is that I find it very hard to just spray fresh water on deck and let it run into the ocean... Leaves me all anxious and puckered. Old conservation habits die hard! Bill Kinney SM#160

After working on my self-steering gear failure, I thought I would put some info in the "Files" section. If you see anything I could improve on, or that is in error, please let me

Jacob, I would go with a solid piece of fiberglass , I am sure you can find a scrap in Cole Bay. Fair Winds Eric Kimberlite Amel Super Maramu #376
