thanks for the input. I'm trying to be proactive and obtain the correct size silicon bronze fasteners prior to haulout. We do not have a retail store for these in Port Angeles so I would have to go to Port Townsend. I could pop out one of the bolts above the waterline prior to haul out but...

We have noted that the lower bolts that secure the swim step brackets though the transom have corrosion issues. I have pulled up and read the pertinent literature on corrosion. We have a galvanic isolator system that is daisy chained to the top bolts of the 4 brackets. I want to know what size...

I think CW is that the number of containers lost each year are on the order of 10000. One made its way to the bottom of the Monterey Bay Sanctuary and was traced back to the shipping company. Several cruises and Remote Operated Vehicle surveys of the container on the seafloor resulted in a peer...

After much researching on this and other forums "we" have decided to go with TDS caulk. Talking to TDS two days ago they recommended that we lightly secure the quarter round initially with the same SS screws we removed and after the TDS has cured we will come back and tighten them after dosing...

As I look at the TDS products I see that there are two colors which got me to thinking about whether I should seal to the deck with black and to the house with white? Seems like that could be messy but my partner is the painter/caulker and she has made it clear that I am NOT to do this without...

I have read the posts here with interest since we are getting ready to reseal the exterior teak quarter round molding at the junction of the pilothouse and the teak deck. It seems as though this is a no brainer to use butyl tape on. My question is whether or not the SS screws I removed are...

I second the idea of joining a YC as a great way to getting started in cruising our great PNW waters. Our club (PA) has a large percentage of non-boat owners so you can get started learning w/o owning a boat, has regular social events so you can talk to other boaters and has regular and multiple...

What ships and years? I did trips to sea ice in the late 70's to the 90's on the Burton Island, Westwind, Glacier and Polar Sea and Star

we were in Loreto and wondering about the marina that the Pacific Catalyst boats might tie up in. We drove the 26 km south and found Puerto Escondido (?). Very new and clean with a travel lift and a few boats stored on the hard. I know it is further away than the other marinas mentioned and we...

Thanks for the input. Any ideas on how to deal with setting the nails deeper so that the plugs have some grip on the sides of the hole? I understand the concept behind screws but how do you extract a nail without buggering up the hole? Would these nails be clinched? No evidence of that on the...

69 32' sedan. Missing some plugs on the teak deck. Deck looks good considering its age and we have no symptoms of any leaks. From what I can garner from looking at the lazarette covers we have about .4" of teak left. Started investigating plug replacement including reading everything on this...

Roger that.

29" and change on the height to the top of the table

I knew you were going to ask that. I am going to go back into town anyways so I can measure that too-later today.

39" long by 11'' with both leaves down. 30" wide with both leaves up.

I will measure it tomorrow when I go to the boat

For Sale: Teak folding gateleg Salon Table from 36-42' Grand Banks. We are going back to the original folding pedestal mounted table that converts to a rack for our 32' GB. Some of the veneer under the top has chipped off (see pic) but otherwise the table is in excellent shape. Delivery can be...

My thoughts exactly. I know that my Ideal windlass as it is currently set up vents directly to the chain locker thence to the bilge. Capt. Tom's assertion that the O2 concentration inside the cabin wouldn't change is correct. The gas minus the burned O2 is the exhaust which is vented outside. So...

I talked to Sergei at Planar BC today and asked this same question. His response was that it is an issue of oxygen concentration. If you use inside cabin air for the combustion supply you diminish the concentration of oxygen and in a totally tight system that wouldn't be sustainable. I suspect...

thanks for the input. Once we get to the haulout I will have solid numbers on the beam and overall height and I can contact other truckers.

Moss Landing, CA to Sequim or Port Angeles, WA. Always would consider doing it myself but with other things going on in life we are in a bit of a time crunch. Not exactly the prime time of the year to be making a trip against the upwelling winds and prevailing swell in a relatively small...

For truck transport. Trucker came back to me with a height of 15' which makes the transport prohibitively expensive but I don't know what he used for this estimate. And of course the 13' beam also bumps the transport up to necessitating two pilot cars.

I'm a little premature in that we only have an accepted offer on a Ed Monk designed Eagle 34. I am watching it from my office as I type-probably not the best place to try and be objective. I have a question-the ad places this at 13' and doesn't list a height. For purposes of transport these are...
