Thanks - I'll check out Amazon based on two great recommendations!

That looks like it would be a perfect fit for me too. Any idea where they might be available, other than the Tool Guy in your neck of the woods?

What do you think about the efficacy of H2O2 for a job like this?

My 25 definitely sails the radius-arc of the anchor's rode. With the rode running out directly over the bow, or set off to either side of the bow, it sails at anchor in even light winds. Perhaps the 22's behave differently?

OK - Thanks for your response. I now have a plow on about 15' of chain spliced into rope rode running through a windlass. I tried a 15 pound river anchor (a modified mushroom type) in a hammerlock moor off the bow, but it's not heavy enough to stop the sailing and I'm reluctant to go to a...

Does anyone have a photo of how to rig a bridle? I want to reduce the sailing at anchor. I find it hard to relax when the view of the shoreline is constantly changing. The boat just doesn't "feel" at rest. A photo would be great. Thanks.

I have been completely satisfied with Verizon's wireless service (not their other products, though). No billing problems, etc. Their coverage along the East Coast has been excellent. The only area I can recall where their signal was weak was a particular portion of the mountains in north...

Joe on Sea Wolf, It appears that the bowline (or painter) gets higher over the side deck as it moves forward and out of the photo's frame. What is the line's path toward the bow? Is there more hardware forward?

I've been shopping for a bimini for the mighty Lucky Day. Do any of you have experience with or have you heard anything about Ameri-Brand? They have a lot of offerings and appear to have good deals. Who are they? Are they reliable? I've never heard of them. Their website...

I think the mensch on Wild Blue nailed it - A C-dory bearing the name Shalom.

I am an ardent diesel proponent, based on years of experience with compression ignition engines. I drove about 1-million miles in Cat and Cummins powered 18-wheelers. I've owned a '79 VW Rabbit diesel, a '95 Mercedes 300d, and best of all - I had an '06 Mercedes E320cdi. The cdi was...

It has a 20 gallon tank. It will be interesting to see what the mpg's are loaded and empty. It might have quite decent range with 20 gallons.

I read the "Clean Diesel" tab on the web site and the company story. Great concept.

Yes!! I think this would be a small step for man -- and a giant step for my CD-25!

Thank you Bob. I will check that as well.

Thanks - I will check that out.

I had Lucky Day out yesterday after it had been sitting in its freshwater slip for quite awhile. Three issues showed up: 1 - The Garmin 172C GPS started and worked fine, but shut itself off after 2-3 minutes of operation. Retried it many times but it continued to power itself off. The other...

My boat is in the water year round. It's in a slip on the Potomac River at Washington, DC. The winter here is mostly mild enough for excellent day-boating - as long as the temp is up to 40-45 with some sun. That's without cabin heat away from the dock. I think it's the best boating time of year...

Enjoy your vacation! We will log any occurences. Thanks so much for keeping this site going.

OK - that's two of us. Anyone know what's causing this?
