We both love our little cruiser, but just don't get out on her enough -- so, our 13 month old baby will be up for sale -- er, at least as soon as I can figure out what price I should ask... She has been pampered at Twin Bridges Marina's inside storage since delivery and has only spent about 80...

Lynn and I like this little tug we saw off Orcas with little tires tied all 'round. Hmmm... :moon Corwin

Hey all, Well, it is great to see photos of this new gem on the water! I've been waiting to see her topsides :shock: -- but don't tell Lynn. My first reaction was that it wasn't as cute as the drawings, then read the post about the trim paint -- that's what was different! Lynn and I both...

Hey Peter, Just read your post above from last week. Guess you were right in my neighborhood. Did you happen to see the 34 footer burn out in Burrows bay that morning? I was in the house when I heard the Coast Guard fly over, so I looked out the window to see where they were headed and was...

Oh, and check out the article in the current (June) issue of Fine Woodworking entitled, "Setup kit for machines." This article describes how to check your equipment using a straight edge, tri-square and dial indicator. For a modest investment you'll get the most out of your tools. And about...

Thought I'd share some links. Even if you have no interest in the Festool line, you really ought to check out the information provided in this article http://www.festoolusa.com/Web_files/Getting_the_most_from_the_MFT_multifunction_table.pdf And if you are interested, check out how simple the...

Byrdman, One word of caution, this tool buying thing can get addicting! Yep, just as bad as the boating thing... Last October I ordered some teak for a project on Little Catelyn. Before I purchased the marine plywood for the project, I thought I would cut a templet from some scrap plywood...

Sorry to continue on about raymarine problems on this thread about following seas, but I am interested in those settings that Mac mentioned. I've been experiencing problems since the Blakley gathering when the boat was only two weeks old. The chart appeared 20 to 30 degrees off in head-up mode...

So, what changes are you going to make on your new canvas? And where are you having it done? I plan on having canvas made down the road and have always thought that I would have it made with the back enclosing the lazarettes like your old canvas. My only concern is that the lazarettes on my...

Hey, I've got them inside rails, and the only thing I keep hitting my head on is the top of the doorjamb while exiting the cabin. :crook No, all seriousness aside, I'm over 6'-1" and have no problem with the inside rails. I do recommend that you mount a shorter rail to starboard that is over...

Jim, Cool fan! Thanks for sharing this :idea Corwin

Thought I would warn any potential buyers of inflatable boats and accessories to shop somewhere OTHER than Busters Marine. I ordered a Mercury inflatable with various accessories back in May. When I received the merchandise I was very pleased with everything EXCEPT a 12 volt pump that looked...

Hmmm? Guess I need to check to see just which bow roller I have up there. I don't know... should I... hmmm... well, I really hate to admit this, but... I just dropped anchor for the first time last week. You know, the windlass and anchor setup sure looked pretty up there all this time...

Well, things just might not work out so well for her son... It doesn't really matter if George W is to blame or not -- HE WILL BE BLAMED. Isn't that really how things usually go; a good thing happens and the person at the top takes the credit -- a bad thing happens and the person at the top...

While these fluxgate compasses may be more accurate, they are not immune to this mounting location problem. My fluxgate and heading sensor are mounted on the bulkhead under the Wallas --- probably one of the best locations to mount these EXCEPT when you store canned goods in the galley cabinet...

Heck, all these red and green colors kind of get me in that Christmas sort of mood. :xlol Hmmm, wonder if Little Catelyn will be on Santa's knotty or knice list? Corwin

Well, if this doesn't beat all! Now I know many of you like to color coordinate with matching fenders, line and even coil hoses, but I never would have thought to coordinate the font color of these messages. Of course it doesn't come across well when you have a black boat. :wink Corwin

Pat, Hope you're enjoying your new additions. But don't hold off on that autopilot too long --- once you get it you'll be kicking yourself for not getting it sooner. At the time I ordered my boat I thought that while an autopilot would be pretty cool, it was really overkill in the gadget...

I was quite amazed at the all the attention Little Catelyn received over her teak handrails. I was looking forward to attending the Blakely cruise to check out all the neat modifications others have made to their boats --- never occurred to me that so many would be interested in our otherwise...

Hey Brats, Wow! Lynn and I had a wonderful weekend at the gathering! We couldn't get over how welcome everyone made us feel -- and when it all was over we were both sorry the time had passed so fast. We really look forward to doing this again. I suppose most of you all left too early to...
