Here you go: http://tufftechbags.com/flexiblerainbarrels.htm then make a
sling for it. There may be other manufacturers – the ones on the video look
like the ones carried by helicopters for firefighting. I’m sure I could
find them exactly if I look more.Bob

Sorry to hear about your travails. I hope no damage was done – I picked up
a string of pots somehow south of Pidgeon Key and I only found out because
I was under full press of sail in 20-25 kts wind and only going 3 kts.
When I looked back it was like the barrel in ‘Jaws’, except it was traps.
Finally because my prop spins it actually twisted the line until it
parted… Then all of a sudden I was going 7.5 kts!Bob

Hopefully I can get a diver tomorrow to unwrap this thing. I think I am
still dragging the pot with me. Some fisherman is gonna be disappointed
when he goes to retrieve his gear. Although… he should not have put it so
close or in the channel.
Geez…. even when your paying attention sh*t happens.

On my way down on a delivery in October we got to the Ben Sawyer bridge at
1603. Dammit, we had to wait for 2 hours! I hate that bridge! Sorry
about the trap thing. Unlimited would have done as well, though. Gold
allows tows dock to dock. It’s one of my careers here – Tow Boat U.S.Bob

John,
you’ll have to let me know what happened to the damper. As
you know I have the same damper in my W58. I have been very pleased so
far. No noise what so ever.
BUT…..
We were all waiting for the
the 4 o’clock opening of the Ben Sawyer bridge just before Charleston.
You know how all the boats mill around waiting…. I snagged a crab pot
and before I could react, it jammed the prop shaft up tight. It pulled
the shaft right out the coupling. TowBoatUS was there in 20 minutes and
towed me into the slip I had already reserved at the Maritime Center….
and I was only an hour and 15 minutes later than if I had motored in
myself.
. NO CHARGE. It pays to have UnLimited Gold towing insurance from BoatUS.

Hi Elaine,
Your email address has been spoofed. Just to let you know so that you can
tell people it has. Sorry about that. Sadly, there’s nothing you can really
do – it’s not a hack. Technically, it’s a weakness in the whole email
process – namely, the sending address on the ‘envelope’ can be different
from the true sending address on the message. But that aside, eventually
as people delete your emails it will die down.All the best,
Bob

Hi Tor,
A quick question – don’t you trim out most of the weather helm? Or are we
talking almost downwind where there’s a bunch of slewing?Bob

Quote:James,I have a CPT autopilot as the primary on my boat, which I bought
2nd-hand and then had re-furbished by the factory. It’s well made, and
the guys who own the company now in California – or at least did last
time I checked – were very good about customer service when I needed it.
The CPT is reliable, but it – or mine, at least – doesn’t handle heavy
weather helm in strong winds. It seems to get over-worked. Fortunately,
I also have a good windvane, an Auto-Helm brand from Scanmar Marine. I
have worked out system for balancing the two units simultaneously,
basically setting the very strong windvane to take the weather helm out
of the equation so that the CPT autopilot can do its thing without
straining, fine-tuning the course for spot-on accuracy. This combo has
worked very well for me over several thousand miles of offshore sailing
in the trade winds. In moderate conditions (and, of course, in calm
conditions), the CPT does a very good job of steering the boat by
itself. I’m happy with it.Hope that helps.

I wonder if the mizzen staysail is worth the trouble compared to a regular
staysail. I have the latter and it provides power on all points of sail
except when the jib is blanketed. It can add anywhere from .5 to 1.5kts
depending on wind speed and direction.Asymmetric spinnaker is the way to go, in my humbled opinion.

It is also a great light wind supplemental sail. When you are hanging
every handkerchief and towel to grab the wind, don’t forget the miz ss.But yes, wonderful on a reach.
Another sail I love but don’t have on our 424 (yet) is a mule. This is
a
sail that goes between the miz and main masts up high. On a simple
furler.
I crewed several times on this Whitby 42 (before it was refurbished)
that
had one. It is great for stabilizing the boat in rolling seas but needs
to
come down early. Here is a link that show it in use:

AWESOME on a beam reach…. but what isn’t 😉
Generally we use it when we’re on any reach that isn’t very deep, once
it’s
too deep it’s blanketing the main.
You can also use it in combination with the jib without the main, butI’ve
not done that much at all yet… have to play around.
There is precious little written about proper sailing and trimming of
ketches. I was going to write to this maritime museum in England if seeif
they had any older references… still on the to do list. 😉
I’d love to hear what everyone else has to say.

There is or was a company named Nanosolar that was going to make (or had
taken money to make) thin, flexible, large scale solar films – much like the
films that are now laminated in sails. I contacted them about their product
(in development) mentioning the application – imagine, if you will, your
sails with solar panels laminated to each side! Think of the area and
power!They were disinclined to agree – they wanted to do entire buildings or
Christo artworks. Feh! They lost a huge market.Bob

Again I agree. Not saying electric is right or wrong in general, just not
right for my plans and style of cruising. There are places I want to go
that you can’t go without strong power and range, like the rivers and canals
of Europe. Also would prefer to motor through a calm than spend spend an
extra day or three waiting for the wind.Cruised a bit without an engine myself. Boat had one but I couldn’t
afford the fuel so sailed everywhere. Quite doable and good for skills
building but limits some of your options._______________________________________________
