I did the hull of my 27 with a random orbital sander six years ago. I came to the conclusion that when bad sailors die they go to a boatyard in hell to sand hulls for eternity. Any price to have someone do a soda job for you is cheap. This is possibly the worst job in boat ownership. Brent

Re: Stus-List oldest sail contest

I'd win this had I kept the storm jib from my prior boat a Vision 6.60 The jib came from a 50s vintage Lightning (original sail) and other than torn up batten pockets the sail was great. I still have the mainsail in my basement. I sold the Vision 6 years ago. Brent 27-5 Lake Winnipeg. Sent

Re: Stus-List All is lost.. Disapointing flick

It upset me that after the storm he stepped back aboard the 3/4 sunk boat in a dead calm and instead of trying to pump out and save her, he stepped into the life raft. But to the movies credit this was not a how to movie. This was a story of one man and what he did, right or wrong. Nobody ever

Re: Stus-List Nice sail but dangerous waters in harbor

The best I can do is while nearly asleep in the quarterberth at my slip, I heard the unmistakable sound of a carp slamming full speed into the rudder. The next morning it lay dead in the water near my boat. Big too. No alligators in Lake Winnipeg, just sea monsters. Brent 27-5 Lake Winnipeg

I re bedded the majority of my deck hardware with butyl tape 5 years ago and I'm very pleased with the results. I drilled and filled as required and used the thinnest butyl I could find. So far no problems other than a slight tightening of the hardware over time. This is not a maintenance

Re: Stus-List Joker valve war!

I just replaced mine last night. Ridiculously easy job. Cleaned the tank out, pumped lots of fresh water through and took it apart. I only lost about a litre of water onto the head floor. I was getting tired of coming back from a sail and having to swab the head! Brent 27-5 Lake Winnipeg
