The Urinal Is Too High! A group of 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders, accompanied by two female teachers, went on a field trip to the local racetrack, (Churchill Downs) to learn about thoroughbred horses and the supporting industry (Bourbon), but mostly to see the horses. When it was time to take the...

This would be a matter of individual personal preference. Some would put the twin factor above all else (Harvey!), and others would prefer the single, especially with only 700 hrs vs. 1800 and the boat having trim tabs and a windlass. A more detailed description and photos of the two would...

Here you go: Joe. :teeth :thup

If you need the whole set up, that's another matter, because removing the arm off the knurled knob on the end of the motor shaft is sometimes/oftentimes very difficult due to corrosion. There are several threads on this topic over the years. I seem to remember that getting a puller tool...

It's a common modification,nowadays. The bulkhead is not a structural member, so it doesn't weaken the boat. It does allow for easier entry into the v-berth, and for greater air circulation. With a little addition to the length of the v-berth platform, it allows for a taller person to sleep on...

Women are much better at financial planning than men. Dan was a single guy, living at home with his sick and elderly father and working in the family business. When he found out he was going to inherit a fortune when his father died, he decided he needed a wife to share it with. One evening...

Hi! A complete description of your boat, and especially the optional add-on features would help you sell it as well as preventing a landslide of individual emails asking about those things. Also, photos are of utmost importance in making your boat a viable option and satisfying the serious...

Earlier, over the years, some have asked about some of these questions. I seem to remember that the older Classic 22 was designed for a 70 hp 2-stroke motor that typically weighed about 260 lbs. The more recent (1987-present) CD-22 Cruiser was allowed 100 hp, and most of them left...

If you've been following the daily sailing report on Scuttlebutt, the North American sailboat racing newsletter for the past decade or four, you'll have noticed an increasing emphasis on professionalism in big and even some small boat racing from everything from the America's Cup and the...

Thanks for the quick reply! I was thinking with that water heater and that rear cabin/bulkhead sump, it might not be too hard to rig one up, though! :wink Joe. :teeth :thup

Hey Bob- You're as knowledgeable as anyone around here about electronic tracking and emergency devices, so I'll ask you: Lots of problems this year in the R2A with tracking devices. Legitimate problems, or just stealth gamesmanship? Dirty pool? What are the rules? Does make it more...

That's a modified CD-22 Cruiser with the enclosed marine head at the rear of the port side of the cabin. Would fit the bill for someone looking for that configuration, and at a lot less expense than buying a standard configuration boat and modifying it. I don't suppose it is set up to have a...

UPDATE @ 4:07 pm: Angry Beaver is on Dock and 100% complete in Ketchikan! Where's the live video coverage? Wow! At just short of 4 pm PST Monday, Angry Beaver is 99% complete, and looks to be about only 7-10 miles short of the finish at Ketchikan. Sail Like and Girl and Shut Up and Drive...

Everyone Interprets Questions Differently... A mathematician, an accountant and an economist apply for the same job. The interviewer calls in the mathematician and asks: "What does two plus two equal?" The mathematician replies: "Four." The interviewer asks: "Four, exactly?" The...

Rude Jokes for the 70 and over crowd: When you're over seventy...........who cares? ********** I was standing at the bar at the VFW one night minding my own business. This FAT ugly chick came up behind me, grabbed my behind and said, "You're kinda cute. You gotta phone number?" I...

Hey Bob- We were running a 505 sailing World Championship in Santa Cruz Ca, quite a few years back and I was working on the Race Committee. When the day's races were over, I foolishly volunteered to raise the anchor. After we took up the slack, I decided it would be faster to just haul it in...

Something to remember in the equations: 1/4" Hi-Test G-40 chain weighs 0.74 lbs. per ft, so 50 ft weighs 37 lbs, 100 ft weighs 74 lbs, and 150 ft weighs 111 lbs. Add a 15-25 lb anchor to these figures above, and you'll soon realize you need a windlass to raise the anchor once its down! In...

I still love the all chain set up, but thought of one drawback that might affect some folks: If you anchor in a situation where the bottom has some rock material or large gravel, the sound of the chain moving about over the hard rock material transmits up the all dense all metal chain very...
