Lots of memory foam suppliers out there. One is ikea that has several thicknesses, including a 5 1/2″ king size for $300.

Ikea also carries latex mattresses if you want to go that route.

John,
I think the spelling was wrong and it is Kimberlite and they are part of the MISEA Group. I see they also bought SCAD.

I don’t know about the water bags, but there may be someone near the bridge that provides the service, if it is a common route.
However, I calculate that you need to heel the boat over 51° to get the stick 34 feet above the water. Have you checked to see if the cockpit will flood at that angle of heel.

I am pretty sure this is the stuff Joe was talking about:
There are several discussions about it on SSCA. Here is one of them:

In case you didn’t see it, there was a recent discussion on this very topic on the SSCA forum.

Have you verified the engine rpm’s with another tach, in case yours is faulty.

I still have my rigging to replace. Any disadvantages to twin back stays. I assume you would have more weight and windage aloft, but I don’t know if that would be significant on our boats.

One some of the earlier boats they twisted the forward chainplates so they would line up with the rig. Mine came out the same way and I thought they had been damaged underway. It wasn’t until I installed new straight ones that I realized they had been bent that way. When you install new plates, you will see that they don’t line up square with the slots in the hull. You can either redo the slots or build up the knee that they are attached to so they are square or have the new ones twisted to match. I chose to build up the knee with fiberglass to line them up properly.
On the later hulls, they didn’t bother twisting the chainplates, so they are not exactly lined up. You would never notice it unless you are looking for it.

That was the regulator that you got the model number from.

I would think you would want the cam cleat ahead of the winch. It is a straighter feed in and you can use the winch to off load it easily if necessary.

” the USCG approved horn sitting on the nav station shelf has enough propane in its rusty can to blow up the boat.
Quent”The can of Pam in the galley also uses propane and butane as propellants.

Bill:
As Quent pointed out, Sen-dure makes these exchangers. Just a matter of shopping around to see who will sell it to you for the least.

“I have approximately 550 pounds of lead bars available for ballast. Any Great Lakes P-424 sailors planning to head for the Carribean should consider adding this additional ballast to their fresh water sailed boats to avoid serious instability problems in the more buoyant salt water.
Quent
Clairebuoyant, #132″Quent:
If you bought this lead 5 years ago at $.50/lb, you made a pretty good investent, with today’s spot prices at $1.24/lb. Of course, if you bought at the peak in ’07 at $1.70, well, not as good. However, this is probably 1981 lead that you removed from your keel before you went cruising a couple of years ago, to make up for that extra weight from the washing machine and all the other cruising essentials you added onboard. For us fresh water sailors, moving too salt water just means we don’t have to raise our water line as much as everyone else does after we have loaded the boat with 3000 lbs of gear and spares.
Paul
Boundless #28PS: I am sure there are lots of locals building boats that would love to take that off your hands for a good price!!
