On Saturday morning (-26 C) I went skiing - one of the better snow days this
season.
On Sunday, spent over an hour moving the 20-odd cm of snow out of my driveway.
Looking forward to May 4 (the launch day).

The yoga mat is a foam rubber mat I found in the back of the closet. The
idea is to keep the cold air and the hatch insulated from each other,
otherwise water can condense there and drip on the bunk. And no, 600
watts isn't enough. If I were staying down there I would have it going

I see on the weekend Ottawa had a couple of notable events.
It was the coldest capital city in the world, beat out Helsinki, Moscow
and "Ulaanbaatar" ( Mongolia ). It broke a 100 year record for
the coldest temperature during a snow storm.
I was watching Windy and various sites, quite the

After Hurricane Florence we replaced 3 halyards on 2 boats just that way. We
used a 52’ Morgan OI at the docks, and pulled the two smaller boats (a 37 and a
27) up to the Morgan with masts aligned and securely positioned with lines and
fenders. The guy who was feeding the messenger line went up

Good advice from others already but here's my 2 cents. For years I was the
"mast monkey" for my buddy, a local rigger. We dropped many halyards,
cables, etc.
First, tension all other halyards. You could do as David said and mark the
messenger but I never do.
Use a 8-10 inch length of
Over the anchor roller works fine. I recommend more chain, at least
equivalent to the length of your boat if 5/16. Also mark your rode so you
know the ratio of road to water depth 4 times works fine most of the time
but believe 7 times is recommended

Bicycle chain as a weight works great on a messenger line if you can get
someone to go aloft for you to drop it

For an easy night in a secluded gunk hole you can get away with using the
bow roller to lead the anchor line back to a bow cleat. I do it all the
time and sail up and down the Chesapeake.
A better practice is to tie on a snubber line using a rolling hitch or an
icicle hitch and then run the

Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions. Each and

There should be no need to drop the rig. A weight on the end of the line should
suffice.
A bent clothes hanger is great for fishing the line out through the exit.
I’ve known some to use a metal weight on the line and then use a magnet to
guide it through, but I’ve run a few over the
Sam I did have a similar issue myself. I found that by taking a 1ft piece of 3/8ths twisted Cable to feed it in over the sheaves to begin the process at the top of the mast attached to a drop line works best. The twisted cable acted as the weight. On my 35 I was able to take out the bottom pulley
Thanks Frederick! I thought that it would be okay but have learned never to
assume especially on the water! Do you use anything to keep the line from
jumping the roller or has that not been a problem? Thank you, Sam

I have a Landfall 38 with a double bow roller. I am in the northern
Chesapeake Bay. I only use 10' of chain and the rest is 8 plait anchor
line. The bottom around here is mostly mud and I get incredible holding
power from my Fortress 23. My question is is it okay to just run the line

Joe,
if you can keep above freezing temperature in a boat with a 600 W heater, you
don’t have artic temperatures (;-).
Here, for the last 5 days, we hit 15 (F) once, but mostly we are hovering below
0 F, mostly in the minus teens. No insulation would keep the boat above
freezing. I hardly can
Use a bicycle chain to run the messenger line over the sheaves. Drop messenger
line outside the mast first to mark when the messenger chain should show up at
exit hole. Use bent coat hanger (one of my favorite tools) to grab it.

If it’s weatherproof you dont need a cover over that. We get a wide range
of weather conditions here in NS. I have never covered that. Done properly
that opening can be good for 12 plus years no problem

I covered my forward hatch with a yoga mat and then a tarp over that.
The idea is to prevent condensation dripping off the hatch, which tends
to assume the outside air temperature. Now we have arctic temps I will
have to see how it works. I am also doubting the heat is keeping up, I
leave it
Whew looks like I am safe too!

As a note, I did find the original name "Touche'" in the cove stripe gap
when I sanded the paint off to repaint Touche' in 2011. It was painted on
at NOTL per the original sales order.

Love that idea--will add it to mine but probably have to fill in the cove strip
'groove' where the name would go.
