    Fales 30 For Sale - ***SOLD***

    *Thanks, Tony! Yes, currently we are boatless, sort of.* We still have the well worn dink! Our plans are to move on to "the island life"...on Galveston Island.* We will probably look at something trailerable that we can tow up and down the Gulf Coast for more adventures. As far as the new...

    Fales 30 For Sale - ***SOLD***

    RE: Fales 30 For Sale - Price Lowered! New pics on web site! Tony, Yes, it was on the bulkhead of Pier 12 at Waterford for a number of years.* I have only advertised it here and on Craigslist.* If it doesn't sell soon I will list it with a broker to get it on Yachtworld for even more exposure.

    Steady Sails...Do they work?

    The steady sail (about 50 sq.ft.) does not eliminate or even reduce roll on Boomarang.* It does dampen the roll.* It is less "snappy" and makes the ride more comfortable. At anchor, I find the sail useless.* It seems to cause the boat to want to "sail" back and forth, actually making it move...

    Deleting ????

    I think that only moderators can delete after a certain amount of time.* I think it's so if anyone decides to post something that they regret we all get to see it before it is removed! Tony, what do you need deleted?* If it is a classified I prefer to keep those for archive purposes.* Maybe...

    Permanet "topic for introductions"

    *Great idea!* Anyone have any suggestions?* Should we make it a social gathering or a boat gathering (as in a destination of some sort)?

    Fales 30 For Sale - ***SOLD***

    RE: Fales 30 For Sale - Trawler Forum Cover Girl! Thanks for the kind words. All of the Fales like mine that I have seen were 32 foot models.* Maybe Boomarang is a one-of-a-kind? I really thought that I would be buried at sea in Boomarang.* However, we are going through a slight lifestyle...

    Return key

    I believe that the enter key is used to start a new paragraph.* You shouldn't have to hit the enter key after each line as you would on a typewriter.* Remember those? As to the spell checker, mine works OK. In the computer world there is always someone behind the scenes making changes.*...

    Binoculars

    Look for the biggest and brightest that you are comfortable with.* A good pair of bright binoculars are like "night vision" in low light conditions.* Just after the sun has gone down is a good time to compare brightness level. See if you can borrow some from friends to compare.* In general, you...
