My wife is making me choose between a sailing vacation in TN to meet you guys or a vacation in KS to visit our grandson. It's a tough choice, but I'm afraid the monkey wins out over Watauga Lake guys. Maybe once I start teaching full-time I'll have the money to do more than one vacation a year. Of c...

Never thought about it, but this could qualify as a Valentine's Day gift, kind of. I know that you have probably never seen the television show "Clean Sweep". It on the Home & Garden Channel, HGTV. Kind of a neat concept. The hosts visit someone who's clutter is totally out of control....

So the way I'm reading this, if I don't have OEM sails, I can pretty much apply any sail number I choose and nobody would be any the wiser, unless it was their number.

Put the boat on a trailer and drag up here to visit me. Stay one week and I guarantee there will be no live ants left on your boat.

Yeah, me too. Hope he comes back with more.

Someone lending a little "sea creds" to the C-22. Very nice! I will be looking forward to future installments.

Please review previous posts on resizing photos though, to make the viewing even more pleasurable.

Are we allowed to copy, or is that patented?

There is a morbid fascination among sailors with sunken boats, similar to the one amongst motorcyclists with videos of crashes. You don't want watch but you just can't help yourself.

Whereas, I, on the other hand, spent 23 years working with the absolute dregs of society to earn a pension that was designed to lose 1% per year to inflation. And that was before this president decided not to give federal employees or annuitants any pay raise for the last two years. I find myself wo...

Now, I could make a perfect copy of that in wood. But I've never tried to do anything like that in metal. Hmmm .....

I finished my hinged mast step. ..... The through hole at the forward end of the pivoting plate will be the attaching point for my new gin pole. Please bear in mind that I know nothing of what I am about to speak. Shouldn't there be something securing the front of the plate similar to the hinge pin...

Speechless.

That IS a good price. I'm seeing them average over $30 more online.

Sorry. It's probably due to the fact that I had to look up to talk eye to eye. I'm not used to being around people taller than me.

I am terrified of the answer to the second question but, like Ebenezeer and the third spirit, I have to ask. 1 - Has anybody ever replaced ALL of the standing rigging on their C-22/26? 2 - Scary, but how much did it cost? One of my backstays is broken. Can't be long before the second one joins it. S...

It's a balmy 40 degrees here in NCPA. After I put a new wick in the kerosene heater I was bored so I finally got around to scraping the barnacles off of Believer's [/i] bottom. Well, got a start anyway. I did everything I could reach kneeling next to the trailer and I got the rudder. But somehow lyi...

That is SO cool. And now I have to go searching to see if I can find instructions to make one.

That sounds fine to me. The list of possible attendees so far includes an LS-13, an LS16, a slew of C-22's, and a couple of C-26's.

Just remember when pricing shirts that I know at least two of us (Banshi and me) need a 3X and TALL would be nice.

Afloat and sailing. I am working on a flyer kind of posting that folks can print out and place on their fridges to help them get through the tough winter ahead. BIG NEWS!! After being less than enthusiastically received by the Cherokee Lake Sailing Club I was considering relocating the event. I spok...

There are several different profiles available in my paper West Marine catalog.

Before you take it to the shop you might want to indicate where you want the holes drilled to attach the base to mast step on the deck. I don't see any holes in the center of the base. Also, I would make a trace of the base of your mast. Then the shop can fab a collar for the mast to fit into and pr...

I haven't forgotten. All he's got to say is that he needs more. But, for now, just wanted to let him know I was serious. I did a group order like this once on a motorcycle forum I was on and got stuck for the majority of it. Took me almost two years to recover my expenses. Between that and 25 years ...

I'm assuming you ordered the burgees to read right from both sides. Based upon that, I just put my check in the mail.

1 - C-22 hat ($15) and 2 - C-22 burgees ($20.50 each, $41), total $56. Right?

Oooh BABY!! I've been looking for THAT page! Thanks.

I'm in for two based on your old design, which is cool 'cause it will match my new hat. If my count so far is correct that's 6 or more, so we should be about $20.50 each, logo reading right on both sides. Way cool. And, of course, a little something for mariner for his time and trouble and s&h t...

Might I suggest a more environmentally responsible and cost-effective alternative? White oak will be 1/3 the price of teak or less, is more likely to come from sustainable forests, will look quite attractive, and with proper care will likely outlast the boat. Just a thought.

mariner , PM sent requesting order info for a C-22 hat. Scott, I am not only "not offended" I want to be considered ONE of your five confirmed orders. As for design, I think you rendering of a C-22 is perfect. I suggest we make the flags read C22, whatever that is in flag-speak. And if an...

you're motoring and he's sailing. you are more maneuverable and should give way to him. but i'm probably wrong since i know next to nothing about this stuff so far.
