Try using high jacklines. Easy to clip into, nothing in your feet to trip on, and you can grab them as a last resort. Much preferable to having lines on the deck. Bettina > On Aug 16, 2016, at 7:29, Pete Shelquist via CnC-List > wrote: > > This is interesting

Hi Randy, We Received ours, no problem. We initially had the older version, which had trouble charging, sailtimer replaced it with the newer model at no charge. So overall we are satisfied with the company's service. Currently the issue seems to be connectivity (ok on ipad, but wont connect on

Hi Mark Did you figure out where the water is coming from? We seem to be having exactly the same problem. During the deck restore the seeps we used to experience occasionally during rainstorms were fixed. Now we sometimes find water in the settee lockers during/after sailing. it stays there as

Rule # 1 avoid collision Common sense rule #2 who has more maneuverability and can get out of the way easier? I'd say it's easier to steer a bit to port or starboard for a boat then for the paddleboarder to paddle like hell to get out of the way. As a paddleboarder I always appreciate when

It's not really a C question but rather a travel by boat to the US question when not a US or Canadian citizen but coming from a visa "exempt" country. So holler if I am breaking the "rules". I have had multiple exchanges with US customs/ border control because apparently you need this I94 form
