I purchased a new Jordan Series Drogue from Ace Sailmakers (East Lyme, CT) in 2009 prior to a circumnavigation with the World Arc. This is for up to 45,000 lb loaded monohull. Their price for nylon

Thanks, I've sent another email today, if I don't get any response I'm going to 'phone them Cheers Alan SV Elyse SM437

Eric, Interesting. I assume if you have too few cones, the angle to the waves increases above 20 to 30 degrees. Am I correct? BTW, we have a drogue exactly like yours. It has never been

Hi This summer my daughter in Law called them from UK. This got a response! Best of luck Chris Smither

Hi, Alan, Yes, unfortunately I'm having trouble finding anything out about my Cdrive which they've had since July. Usually no reply at all. When I translate my email to French using an on line

Even when I'm not hooked up to shore power, there's a delay of about 10-12 seconds before the 220V shows up. I was thinking about the motor running that long before the pump turned on, but really

Dear Jean-Pierre, I can’t really explain what it is like on a drogue but you do not slide down the back of a wave. Imagine a duck sitting on the water . The duck just goes up and down the waves.

Is anyone having trouble with this ? I got a quotation from Emilie on October 30, but some of the parts were not correct. I went back to her for a revised quotation and have not heard anything

Thank you Greg!!!!!!!!! I'll get back to you next week we ate booked in for halout Monday morning I'll get back to to shortly after with details Tom

Tom, According to Gene Carter in Bellingham, Morse cutless Devil Fish is what he's used as a replacement. The Sharki shaft diam is 35 mm and the OD of the original cutless is 47.7 mm. I have

Problem ended up being cutlass bearing possible engine alignment issue Does anyone out there happen to know the cutlass bearing size on a Sharki The shaft is original Don't have a caliper with us and

Thank you Jeffrey. I will await Eric’s comments before finalizing my order. JPG

Dear Eric, Thank you for your comments. I have Davits, solar panels and HF whip antenna installed on the stern… obviously, I will have to engineer a few “boat specific” changes to make it work

I look forward to seeing what you come up in testing. I'm more concerned about the sail damage than the batten itself failing. You could certainly carry a spare set as well. Personally I'm a lot more

I see that this grounding strap is attached to the end cap of the heat exchanger. Mine is connected to an area on the exchanger where the paint is removed and then to the pan of the generator.

Dear Jean-Pierre, I found that the best attachment points on the boat are the stern cleats. I do not understand why you would want the bridles attached to the mid ship cleats. When you need to

Kent, The generator has a transfer switch that switches from shore power to generator power after 10 seconds. This is so you don’t electrocute an electrician working on the dock while running your

Thank you for the info Dave, I can see how over time the battens, particularly if they are left partially rolled in heavy air can have high dynamic stresses and cause fatigue on the stainless steel.

Jose, He and I are both sailmakers but he's a third generation sailmaker and older than I am. His experience was that the battens ended up breaking and causing damage to the sail if I recall
