I had a similar experience with my C26. I initially thought my pivot pin failed but after getting in the water found it was the cable. Mine also failed at the dock but my slip is only about 30" deep and the keel only went partially into the mud. I was able to rake and shovel enough mud away to ...

Jeff The wildlife ramp on Smith creek is the best ramp in Oriental. I'm not sure about overnight parking there. I do know you could probably leave your truck unlocked for the week and nobody would bother it. There is a boat yard within walking distance up the street you might make arrangements with....

Gus, Before you send the wires down the mast, wrap them in 8 to 10" cable ties and leave the tails on. Locate them at different positons around the bundle. This will keep them centered and prevent internal slapping when moored or docked. Are you adding spreader lights?

I will definetly check this out when I get to that part of the refurb. The manufacturer can be found at www.designerflake.com and the U.S. distribute...
