    Lifeseal, Sikaflex or.... RUBRAIL TIME !!!

    SikaFlex 295UV for the hull to deck joint. I don't think a pressure washer is a good idea on a seam that is supposed to be waterproof. The last time I did my hull to deck joint, I manually scraped off the old sealant, cleaned it up with acetone, taped it and sealed it with SikaFlex 295UV.

    Replacing Windlass and line??

    That windlass doesn’t support chain. I would never consider an anchor set up without a healthy length of chain.

    Garmin Navionics Sub'd Charts

    I said the built in reader will work for compatible plotters, the 7600 is not a compatible plotter and will not work with the Navionics based charts. I still don't see how the subscription based system could be considered a "ripoff" You get the same or more coverage, regular updates, for the...

    Baltimore bridge collapse

    In WWII that mess would have been cleared to allow ship traffic in less than a week. The Golden Gate Bridge took 3 1/2 years to build. The Governor of MD needs to follow the lead of the Governor of Florida and tell the EPA and other agencies to stay the hell out of the way while they do what...

    Joke Thread.. post 'em if you got 'em

    I flew a model of the C-130 that had the Fulton Recovery System. We had a Navigator that was picked up with the Fulton system and parachuted out at the end. He was onboard a flight without being on the airplane for the takeoff or the landing.
