yeah... pulling a 14000 pound boat by the pad-eye is a recipe for torn fiberglass! Soap water on the pads... tie the trailer to a large tree (with more than one strap.) ... then pull the boat forward from a strap or two around the keel and/or pushing on the transom. I'd probably try to get a bunch o...

1. I'd just put in a plastic rectangle hatch and not worry about reinforcing anything ... I haven't changed mine, mostly for that reason... but if I were in your shoes, having to cut a new hole ANYWAY, I'd just put the hatch I want in there and be done with it. (something that can be closed off woul...

The little crack at the ends of the daggerboard-trunk?... If they don't leak, I wouldn't bother with them. (But that's just me... I'd rather be sailing than waiting for epoxy to dry :) ) As for the bow-hatch, since you have to work it over anyway (and you do need to get that opened up!), you might a...

I put an Anderson Mini-Bailer in mine ... works great, seals well. (but needs 5+ knots to work:) ) I've thought about replacing my two round ports with a larger rectangular one also, but... that wall supports the deck right above it... I'm not sure how much it would weaken it by removing that vertic...

My ManOWar was the same way when I got it... The block was completely rotted away, and while the Eye was stainless, the washers and nuts they had used were not... there was nothing left of them but a little mound of rust wrapped tightly around the threads... just high enough that I couldn't pull the...

Many trips around the sun past, for my canoe, I made an anchor just by filling a coffee can with concrete and sinking an eye-bolt (with a nut on it) into it. Worked great. The boat was so light that would hold it in place even in a running stream. The concrete filled to about an inch below the edge ...

Did you have another chance to try out your new bailer? If yours works OK I will get one and install in the back like yours. Not yet ... sailed it again, but it was nearly calm ... so not enough speed to get it working. It DOES work great in the back yard though... the tarp I cover the boat with le...

Batten replacement.
Ok folks, any ideas on what to make battens out of?... My Man-O-War came without the battens for the sail, so I'm gonna have to fabricate some. Just wondering if anybody has any ideas. (They're gonna need to be about 1.5 inch wide, 3.5 feet long, and 3/16 inch thick.... approximately) I thought of a...

Before and after
Finally ready for the water again! A picture of the damage and rot before repairs: (The photo doesn't do justice to the broken hull at the front and rear of the trunk... water comes in through those cracks at a rather alarming rate!) The wood in the side-supports was non-existant; along the top of t...

Mine does NOT have any aluminum in the trunk, (except for the bracket the main sheet tackle attaches to.) It is all fiberglass, except for the side supports and a wood rail along each side of the trunk at the top (for the aluminum bracket and the plastic cover to attach to, as well as for area to su...

I haven't been able to figure that out either, but if there is no Hull ID then it was built before 1973. Mine just has a serial number and no HID. Gizmo's link provided the answer... mine's a '75. I've got the hull patched now where the trunk was broken loose... waiting for some fiberglass to set n...

Main Traveler
Here's the best pic i could find of the main traveler on my Irwin 30. It's 900 miles away, so I can't run out and get a better one. http://homepage.mac.com/brittingham/MainTraveler.jpg The blue lines are controls for the car. They pull it to one side or the other then cleat off. They are "block...

Thanks, I've a double block already. I also took it out for its maiden voyage today. What a fun little boat!!! Was having a grand old time till i hit a submerged tree or something under the water... the daggerboard caught it while doing about 4 knots... nearly threw me out of the boat and managed to...
