Re: Fatal Sailing Accident - with question
I've never heard this but I guess it makes sense. When I singlehand frostbite, I'm usually wearing polypro just because it retains heat better. Gore tex on top of that if necessary. Also, an afternoon

Re: Keel-stepped to Deck-stepped
I e-mailed a naval architect I knew about and asked his opinion on converting mine to deck-stepped and his reply was very encouraging. He basicly said what I had been thinking all along. Use the

Re: AutoHelm 800
I have an ST4000 on Clio. Based on my experience, you'll be asking, "Why didn't I do this sooner?" An AutoHelm is a fantastic addition to any boat, ranking right behind a roller furler, IMHO. Just
