When I got Mistress 4 years ago it was my first sail boat, and when I stood the
mast and rigged the boat for the first time, it was a lot of firsts all at once
for me.
Having taken lessons before I bought a boat I was expecting 2 separate jib
sheets, to be tied with bowlines, but found
This boat has been sold. I inquired on it while still for sale.
It appeared in very good shape and had been on the market 2 years before. I
guess it had delamination and the owner took it off the market, fixed below
waterline, left the above waterline alone and put it back for sale at 79K
No it was not Nina. The listing broker could not pronounce the Irish name when
I asked and they didn't list it in the ad.

When I moved my 26 from Gimili to Edmonton I left the stantions and lifelines.
I was planning to take them off but decided against it due to I thought it too
much work and too risky if something broke. Remember everything is old and may
never have been removed.

So if on a survey it was noted that the 120V receptacle in the head is not a
GFCI (as this was not required during original construction) and the
recommendation is to change it to a GFCI outlet as per ABYC standards. Is it
enough to change just the one receptacle and if so what is the difference
Not sure how many Good Old Boat subcribers are on the list but in the last
issue someone had redone the C cove strip with a reflective tape. Probably
not for every color scheme but I thought it would be very good at night if
someone was to shine a light towards the boat. I am considering
I have calibrated my knotmeter with my gps on my tablet. They rarely are the
exact same and are 0.1 to 0.3 kt difference with the knotmeter reading faster
than the gps. My tablet may not be perfect either.

Andrew I looked up the article you referenced since I find that special

This would be a hard thing for the crew to deal with though and indeed sad news.
I will note also that David had a situation of his own during a prior race
where a crew member became incapicated and the other crew, his son and another
young man, were on constant watch with the striken crew
So how close is the actual hull shape design of this boat to the 40. At a
glance they appear the same with the obvious deck and interior differences.
I have always loved the look and layout of the 40. If the hull shape is
similar what did Baltic do construction wise to make it more suitable for
I was thinking of replacing my standing rigging on my 26. I am thinking I can
put it in a box and ship it to wherever so they can duplicate what I have now.
I haven't really noticed anything wrong with it other than the threaded end for

Hi Keith. Where are you purchasing the boat? I got my boat in Manitoba 2 years
ago and had a trailer made there. The company that built it, Saturn Trailer,
sent a guy who took measurements and placed the posts right on the bulkheads

We are making a trip to Vancouver Island this weekend, mostly just a

we're there. Just a hands on research exercise, I dont see us being really

I have been trying to get my wife to take a competent crew course with the
same instructor I had. She is reluctant to take the helm but will handle

weeks ago we had a good blow for us with winds steady around 18kts and
Nice video Brent. Your crew looks effcient.

I often sail with a single sail with my wife on board. She likes everything
about sailing except the sailing (heeling) so I like to keep it relatively

On my boat which has the Vire 7 there is spot for the gas tank under the
