Just in the process of doing some work on my investigator and wondering if anybody here has ever considered moving their mainsheet traveller forward in the cockpit rather than having it on the stern? Does seem to be in the way when if you want to put on a Bimini, I'm also wondering if she would perf...

How much weight is too much

Re: The List
Great job :) -. Not sure if Clever Girl is actually 53 though cause don't have original sails :/ Petrus, I already have two boats with number 53, Calaway and Stormtrooper. Why do you think that Clever Girl could be that number as well? (Maybe we have a set of triplets in the family.) Because when I...
