Wow Terrence,
Those hatches look great! Did you redo the non-skid or just paint over it?
Nice job

Out of the water after 8 years.
As mentioned in another thread,I took a trailer to NC to pull my 26. I have owned her for 8 years and she's never been out of the water. Once a year I would stand in the water at my dock and scrape barnacles with an ice scraper. Last summer the rudder downhaul broke. I have had this trailer for abou...

I towed a single axle trailer from Pa to NC recently. Taking it down had 2 purposes. One was to stop in De and pick up a load of lumber...tax free. 2nd was to pull my 26 out of the water, fit it to the trailer and fix my rudder downhaul. (another thread). This trailer will have a 2nd axle put under ...

There was someone on the forum that was considering buying a 22 to part out. I don't remember who. I looked for the post but couldn't find it. I need a section for my 26 and did just that. when Moonshine Jim was parting out his 22 I went and got his port toerail. I'll figure out the best place to ma...

Welcome to the forum. As mentioned above there is a wealth of information here. It looks like you're of to a good start with the sturdy cradle you've assembled.. The foam you are removing should have no structural value to the boat. The plywood bulkheads you have to remove may be structural. you sho...

As mentioned above, it sounds like FX outsourced the sails and had no control over delivery. The only way you can assure locally crafted sails is to walk into a loft strike a deal and shake the owners hand. Then if you want truely made in USA you have to be sure of the origin of the material they wi...

Just got back from NC. This retirement is great! Last Saturday we put the bikes in the truck and went in to ride around Oriental. We were riding and came to one of the boatyards. There in the parking lot among all the high priced sailboats for sail were the remains of a burgandy hull sailboat in the...

There are a lot of owners MIA. I was going through some posts from 04 05 and saw many names that no longer show up on the forum. Out of all the regular posters, there are only 4 or 5 names we still see. Also looking at the owners list ( 22's and 26's) on the association website there are no names ot...

I've often thought about that. My Ventures have transom mounted rudders and theu're great. It would be easy to do. On a 26 you would have to fill in the motor mount opening and mount the motor off to one side. I plan to do that anyway. My questions are: will moving the rudder back change the center ...

I tow with an '89 2500 Dodge Cummins. It had 600K on it when I got it and I've added 25K running back and forth to NC. I got it to tow my 26 which I haven't done yet but I tow my 3500lb powerboat with it. The only way you know you''re towing is to look in the mirror. It will go 65 mph @ 20 mpg. Dies...

As well as providing jacking for a flat tire, jacks at each wheel let you take the weight off the springs for storage. They would also help in blocking up the boat off the trailer for putting on bottom paint. Harbor Freight and Tractor Supply sell non-castoring Ag equipment jacks in the 20.00 range....

I can't believe people have the nerve to charge 400.00 for the 22 keel pin assy. especially if they come undrilled. Even if you don't shop beyond Mcmaster Carr, the materials shouldn't cost much more than 30.00. Three cuts with a Sawzall and a belt sander to radius the corners and you have the blank...
