    Cleaning mould / mildew

    I would not advocate the use of mineral spirits at all for cleaning mold from the interior of a boat. Not only do you create a bomb using something that explosive, but there are real negative health effects. Someone has seriously misinformed you Somers. Here is a cut and paste from the Material...

    help me identify this boat part/object

    I beg to differ. It is as already determined, a Cannon downrigger base. I suspect that the 10" dimension given was in error. Perhaps with the wood, it may reach 10". Look at Moonstruck's photo on page two of this thread. It is clearly identifiable. What you show in your photo is not for a...

    Rock fish

    It seems the easiest and fastest way to execute this method would be to pinch the barb closed with a pair of Vice Grip pliers, and away you go.

    Life: Quantity or Quality

    Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bow lines, Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream.

    location of navigation lights on your californian?

    Yes, as long as you don't have your 225 degree mast head light on at the same time. The beauty of that arrangement is that your dinghy will never block your stern light. If you have any doubt, look at the Nav Rules. * -- Edited by Carey on Tuesday 15th of March 2011 11:16:55 AM
