Hi Kent: It was nice to meet you in Portsmouth, Dominica. What did you think of that ash from Montserrat? We are still cleaning up. I have been running my Climma ACs on 60 Hertz power for nine

On the Maramu, the block is attached almost at the end of the mizzen boom, so there's no big problem. I have, however, on occasion put a sling ove the end of the boom if I needed to lift something to

One more, thanks for indulging me. When I purchased "Kristy" I was told that I could run the A/C units on 60Hz shore power. I have done so for the last year with no apparant problems. The raw water

Hi, again, all, I've got a ? about what you do on very broad reaches and downwind when you only have a few hours of sailing on that angle. It seems I've done very little downwind work with "Kristy"

Hi Martin: I am in the process of building the security bars as depicted by Moon Dog. On my Super Maramu the groove into which the companionway hatch slides up and down measures 0.4375 inches wide

Thank you that was just what I was looking for. Can you advise how you secure the horizontal sliding hatch when the security grills are in position? I can see some other photoghraphs that might be

Hello all: My chain counter ceased to work the day before we arrived in Guadeloupe. I sought out Laurent but was referred to Pochon where they were very helpful. Mine has the Black display. They
