absolutely a good point, when I was looking at buying a used autohelm from one of the "old timers" at the club - he told me the same thing... right now I put the tiller purchase on hold - I think the

Re: trailing a long line for MOB. I'm speculating here, but grabbing a wet line moving at 5-6 knots might be challenging. I remember water skiing as a kid, and if dad didn't get enough power on to

A follow-up about tillerpilots...it's pretty obvious, I know, but when you are singlehanding under the guidance of a tillerpilot, if you fall overboard, the boat will simply sail straight away from

My boat came with a Navico tiller pilot, which now seems to be the Simrad TP10. I've found it to be very useful, but have no idea how old it is. The pinion gear would occasionally spin loose on the

Rick, I had an ST1000+ with remote on my old S2 7.3. Great unit for that boat, but the displacement of my 7.3 was only ~3200 lbs vs. the 5000 lbs of my 27. My current 27 has an ST 4000 (now obsolete),

Anyone out there using an autotiller? Looking at buying one. Just so you are aware Defender is selling REFURBISHED Raymarine ST1000's for $300- incredible deal.... Rick

Well, it would certainly make sense for a canvas maker to measure the boat. I suppose that what I was really asking is whether anyone has had a cover made. If so, then, what kind of frame was

Dave I have been thinking of doing the same. Question: if you have it made, won't the canvas maker come down to the boat and measure it? I would think they would need to design the frame to support

Anyone have a pattern for a winter cover for the S2 27? Or, if you had a cover made, what's the contact info for the company that made it, and are you happy with the cover they made for you? I had my

Long winter - i hope not - we have received 5 feet since 12/26..spent all weekend with the roof rake, and I must have shoveled cubic yards of snow.. back to sailboats... if any of you have a chance,

Hello All, I've just started putting a few photos together on this project. The website design is about as minimal as can be, but the point is sharing info. Maybe a record of my muddling through will

Bob Any pictures to post? How was your exhaust elbow, was it full of carbon? No sailing up North here - just got 7" of snow today. My next project is finishing the brightwork on my Dyer Dhow Midget,

Happy new year to all! I have started tearing the 1GM10 down. The zinc was a crumbly wad of grey fluff. Managed to keep what was left of it from falling in the water space. Flattened the mounting

Seasons Greetings to Everyone! Charles s/v Nunavik (ex-Catalyst) 1995 S2-27, hull #12 Lake Champlain, NY

Thanks Rick, Best wishes to everyone for a happy holiday and a great new year. We got our first 1/2" of snow yesterday afternoon. And it paralyzed the entire Phila/tri-state area for the whole

All - hope you have a merry christmas and happy new year. no boat projects to start until january... cheers rick

Bob Sounds like you have yer hands full this winter, but sounds like fun. (and having a shop is great too). Assume you have a service manual, if not let me know as I can email one to you. I've not

Well, my season is officially over. She's up on stands. I have put entirely too much oil through the little Yanmar this summer. It's leaking in a somewhat random fashion. Level holding decent from one

Here is a video montage of my solo trip this past September. It includes a clip of my last posted video: http://www.youtube.com/user/cfilm#p/u/0/6zGyVsdLRs8 As previously mentioned, winds were ranging

Thanks for posting your video Bob. It's always exciting to see other S2 27 boats in action. And great performance too!! For my part, so far I never managed to reach 7 knots with a reduced mainsail
