Hi Paul, i absolutely second Jim’s advice below, we did this 6 weeks ago on Liesse, our Santorin to install the aftermarket silicone seals which seem to be working very well btw. It took me 3 full day

PS Would you have any pics of the support structure? I’d like to get a sense of how it might work with the traveler as well as ingress and egress to the cockpit. Thanks! Dave

Thank you Joel, Interesting story. I guess I had a suspicion but no actual knowledge that the stretch characteristics of those lines was relevant. It makes sense and all the more reason to try and rep

Thanks so much Ryan, that’s great, I had just PM’d Bill, and he didn’t know, so I was resigned to using regular double braid, (which I am sure would work fine), when your reply came in. i have one goo

Hello, I am looking to create a new set of the blue,red,yellow downwind pole control lines and am looking for information about this type of line and it's sourcing. Bills book calls it 'Tempest' but I

For those that could not open the zip file i sent in a message recently, here is a screenshot of the details and contact information i received from Jose and successfully used to order the seals, whic

Hello All, Since there has been discussion of the BT seals, thought I would repost this thread with the contact information for obtaining the seals. There is a 10 unit minimum, I had no trouble findin

Hello All, I am ordering 10 pr (min order size) of the silicone BT seals pioneered by Jose Venegas a while back. Although I have not used them myself they are apparently quite effective and I am anxio

Hi Ken, I’d second Eric’s suggestion to use 4200 (or Sikaflex 291), 5200 is primarily an adhesive, not really needed in your application, additionally they are more flexible than 5200 thus less likely

Thanks James, Craig and Courtney, Makes perfect sense and certainly accounts for the variability in furler/outhaul ratio/speed. Sort of a joystick pas de deux. Now the hard part if is getting to the b

Hi All, It’s dumb (but short) question time regarding furling an Amel in general. Are the furler and outhaul geared to use simultaneously? or is it an alternating actuation type maneuver in which case

Hi Eric, Sounds like you have a perfectly good system that just needs repair, so I’m not advocating this for you but just thought I would take this opportunity to share my experiences with a compostin

Hello Bill and All, I would be interested in the audio only option, as it seems that 35 active participants would be plenty for the relatively short meeting time. Any topic would of interest, schedule

Hi Paul, I can unreservedly recommend Cleopatra in Preveza, it s the cleanest, most well organized marina I have seen and have heard same from several world cruisers. Average prices, not a steal but n

Hi, I have no qualms endorsing the PSS dripless shaft seal as I have had one on my Newport 41 for 10 yrs, with no problems at all. I inspect it frequently and have seen no actual wear and only slight
