Harvey, I do remember that stunt at a time when the "Trans-Pac" events were quite the thing and drew many entries to the challenge. Didn't the crew-less sailboat end up lost at sea and never heard from again? I think the "MIT" experiment is little more than research similar to the driver-less...

(Bob) Thanks for your assessment of the Title I chose to use for this article. It is exactly as you have assumed it to be, without a hint of any Political Statement in mind!

Once a location has been established, and the compass has been permanently secured and "swung", you would do well to create a "deviation card". Typically, turn on each offending electronic device separately and notice the number of degrees it has affected the compass. Record this on a 3X5 card...

Baxter, As Hardee has indicated, make sure you run "non-ethanol" fuel through the system along with a fuel stabilizer before storing. If you use ethanol, and it remains in the system, you should refer to the shop manual and drain the carb bowls of any residual gasoline. Running the engine dry...

Steve, Since you are a mechanic and engine builder, I am wondering if you have checked to see if "Tef-Gel" coated fasteners require an amended "torque schedule", especially on critical engine bolts?

Anytime boat storage is anticipated to be longer than a few weeks, draining the carburetor "bowls" is absolutely essential if you are using gasoline containing "ethanol"! "Running the engines till they quit" is patently insufficient since fuel will remain in carbs and foul the idle and...

Jcon12, Many years ago we repaired a fiberglass sailboat hull that presented similar gelcoat crazing and fiberglass "tears" under the gunnel. The boat had failed to stop while entering its slip at a local marina and hit the dock square on! Since your photos show a similarity to the damage we...

State Farm Insurance Company now offers boat insurance at very competitive rates. And they will also do an "agreed value" policy, up or down in coverage, regardless of what market sale statistics may indicate. This has been an incentive to place my antique and classic cars with them.

Anyone have experience offshore or overseas with this gadget? https://www.skyroam.com/?utm_campaign=S ... e=hs_email

Early this morning I crawled up into the forepeak of my 1991 Toland built 22' Cruiser and found "SOLID" fiberglass across the entire foredeck area! Since the 19' C-Dory shares the same mold configuration as the 22', I would like to assume they are the same. However, the difference in model...

Bob J, I have a photo of "Taleisen" tucked away somewhere and I will try to find it over the next few days. If the thread has vanished before I can post it, I will send it direct in a PM.

Wesley, If you intend mounting the "pivoting bow roller" at the extreme foredeck bow, where it was designed to be mounted, that part of the deck should be solid glass. (in order to enjoy the "pivoting function" of the roller, it would require it be located there) If, when you drill holes to...
