Has there been a date/time/place set yet for the rendezvous? Thanks, Duane Wanderer, SM#477

I am not getting any power to my propane switch. I bought a wire tracer and cannot trace the wire. The solenoid is 12v . Does anyone know where the 12v power source would originate? I could not find a

About 8 months ago took me 3 days of frustration, fearing the worst, thinking that it would never come out. It eventually came. Just be persistent as mentioned, keep spraying penetrating oil you

When we had our main drive motor rebuilt, we were told by company that did the work that about the only thing that kills these motors is if the splined shaft wears out or is otherwise damaged. As far

I'll have to think about the gooseneck, and how it changes things... a good thought... And I agree the elasticity of the mainsheet can help... but only to a point. If the mainsheet stretches enough

Hi bill and all. This acidental gybe discussion started from a boat having to do a crash gybe to avoid a collision. Opinions were given regarding lifting the pin on the traveller line control winch

Thank you for finding that, Bill! It sounds like I will need to slack all my rigging and start from scratch, which I think will necessitate a professional. Olivier has also graciously agreed to come

Bode, Mark is giving you good advice, go slow and have patience. My bow thruster was stuck as well but after a couple days of spraying penetrants in the holes and lots of gentle tapping it came

Steve, I am confused. What do you mean, "Can't say how much force was on that thing, but it was enough to make it impossible to turn those four bolts. " ​Which four bolts? The most important

Bode, Using thespecial Amel tool, the removal process can take several days. Tighten the tool,spray penetrating oil, repeat. With bestregards, Mark Skipper Sailing Vessel- Cream

Complete Fail. I tried everything, but that shaft is not coming out. Ever. I was super clamped on with the custom tool that I had made. Can't say how much force was on that thing, but it was enough to

Wow I didn’t intend to open a big discussion like that. I always gybe the usual way like Danny describes. But I did leave the knob across once and there was an accidental gybe. There was no impact

Bill, Your comment about a real preventer needing to run to the end of a boom raises some interesting questions. Namely what are some factors that determine the shock loading that the boom and the

Well Bill, maybe we're not all as good as you. It's happened to me a number of times when things haven't gone quite according to plan and there's not much distance between the mainsheet going to the

It is important to remember that the Amel tackles are vangs to pull the boom down and control sail shape, and are really very poorly set up to function as preventers--no matter what Amel calls

.......and talking of snagging something, how many times has your main sheet got caught around that knob near the centerline that latches the windscreen shut? Errrr... Never! Not once in 20,000

Could you also send the info to me please. richardcolebatch609@... Many thanks.

Please send sale info.
