Re: In a pickle with my fuel tank.
Wonder if the welder could just put you a whole new bottom in it for you? Gotta be cheaper than $500! Sent from Yahoo! Mail on Android

In a pickle with my fuel tank.
So...I finally got my fuel tank out of the boat. FYI: the tank is model FMT-8-S2 (8 gallons) made by Florida Marine Tanks in 1986. Yours is likely identical. A new tank by FMT is just shy of $500,

Re: Spinnakers
If your boat has excessive weather helm then ease the traveler and tighten up on the backstay. We can carry our 155 up to 20 mph windspeed and it works really good at 15. IF wind was consistent at

Waaay overweight!
Funkytown just finished her 2,000 mile odyssey from VA to New Mexico. We catch up with her in a few weeks but in the meantime, I thought I'd share this. Our driver weighed his rig and the combined

Re: cabin ventilation....
Mine has the built in dorades as well. I went ahead and bought the standard vents for them when I got the boat. Later I found a deal on a Nicro day/night, there was already a fitting in the forward

Re: cabin ventilation....
Mine came with two Nicros mounted on the dorades, one pushing in, one pulling out. They probably saved the boat when it was on the hard for several years. You can't really feel a breeze from them, but

Re: Spinnakers
Check the files section for a copy of the boat manual. it has the rigging layout I believe. i have the 1985 model with the so-called racing layout....ie, rear boom mainsheeting and the fully rigged

Re: Spinnakers
Hi, John. Glad you've joined us! Our boat came rigged with (what I presume to be) a spinnaker pole topping lift that exits the mast through the block you've described (halfway up the mast). It runs

Re: Spinnakers
Hello John & welcome, My boat (#50) came to me with an asymmetrical spinnaker, so I can't help there. I use the pad eye on the mast for a jib pole though. My jib is a 135. It just blew out about 5

Re: Spinnakers
John -- just wanted to say welcome to the group, my boat isn't rigged for spinnaker either right now but one thing you have going for you is the plate at the mast step -- you should be able to clip

Spinnakers
Hi Everyone! My name is john and I am new to the group. I recently purchased Hull #42 and am enjoying the boat immensely here on the North Shore of Boston. The previous owner did a remarkable job

Re: Removing rudder when trailering
mark thanks for the update. good that you yanked the rudder..dd not realize a 3rd party was shipping. good luck with the move!

Re: Removing rudder when trailering
I did end up pulling the rudder, it probably would have been fine but I decided to eliminate the 'what if' so it is wrapped up and in the cabin. The boat just made it a little over halfway, I booked

Re: Removing rudder when trailering
Oh, not far, just VA to NM, roughly 2,000 miles : ) ! ? If you all have any specifics of closeups you want, let me know. Otherwise I'll just snap a few next time I'm there.

Re: Removing rudder when trailering
+1 I would think that anything over say 50-100 miles and high speed travel might stress the transom. the rudder is heavy..can you somehow store the rudder on the trailer - i have seen that done
By s227classassociation · #385 ·
Re: Removing rudder when trailering
How far are you trailering? FWIW, I think that would determine whether or not I took off the rudder. Got any close up pictures of the trailer you might be able to post? ____________________ Dave S.
