    C-Dory Featured in Upcoming Book

    I'm a little chagrined to admit that I sold C-Sick last spring. I own not one, but two sailboats now. I swore to God and my wife, not necessarily in that order, if I made it home from Hudson Bay in one piece, I'd never go to sea without a heavy keel under me. I spent a couple years slowly...

    Lewmar Windlass Field Repair

    Mike, you're a life saver. I checked it once, but upon closer inspection saw that it hadn't reset properly. That's a lot easier than pulling 50' of chain in by hand and running through the storm back to Juneau. Again, my thanks from Alaska. Best, Paul

I'm at anchor at Couverden Island about 30 miles SW of Juneau and when I went to pull up the anchor, I heard a pop and most of the electronics went out.
