That's why they call it Niceville. I've spent a lot of time down that way at Ranger camp on Eglins property

They've expanded the camp into a full up base, and moved in about 2000 rangers.

Big Bro's Big boat is tied up at a marina in niceville. $270 for 38 foot. Power, water, shower, ice machine, gazebo, grill, webcams.

Oops, me too.

Big brother just purchased a 3D printer for making plastic parts for his boat. It'll be delivered in a few weeks. This will be cool, anyone need any plastic parts?

When I'm running network cables thru conduit, I use a walmart bag, pull string and vacuum. Works great.

Very interested in this whole project. My cheeks were bolted to the shaft, and my shaft is bent.

What cleaner and lightner are you using? I'm working on the teak on my big brothers big boat, and I'm using the starbright. Are you using a scrubbing sponge or scouring pad? Use the oil, even if you are going to coat the teak with varnish, or cetol, use the oil. Teak oil is great for the wood. Makes...

EE stole my idea. So, how deep do you think the water in the box would get?

Is this for real? I email him, so we'll see. He's probably been inundated with emails.

Inboard without the sail drive. I'd love to see how that is setup, but it is too far for me to drive right now.

Nicely equiped.

Here is another Hershoff design done slightly differently.

Starts the creative juices flowing.

The only solution I can come up with is to forget sleep and learn to sail at night. It's not too bad when the moon is up.

Why do I hear the Jepordy music playing in the background. And EE's stuck at work. The wood looks like a piece of the table, but I don't recognise the shape. If it is a table piece, could you take pictures so I know how mine goes back together.

What? You didn't barcode the bags? You do have my "loose the bolts in the sand and buy new ones" method beat by a mile, tho.

check out the teak on this 22 on craigslist.

Mine was fabric, how does the plywood look? Thinking aloud, you can use steam to bend thin luan. That might solve a issue on the big brother's big boat. Sister in law doesn't like the carpet used in the same area on brother's big boat. That and properly oiled it might look nice on "Ya Never Kno...

EE,

As long as it isn't by one %$^&*()!@#$%%^&*(*&$#@@#@ field goal.

Well, you know, life is unexpected.

Sailing season? "Away for the year"? Winterizing? Snow shovels? Snow tires? Never heard of any of that stuff. Strange northerners make tires and shovels out of snow? btw, I added some pics from sailing last weekend in my picassa account. https://picasaweb.google.com/103643861499307054833 ,...

Depends on how fast you want to go under motor. I can attest that lacking wind/tide/current, you can push a 26 with just a 40# trolling motor.

Led, ooooooh, big brother will sooo be paying for a set of those on his boat. Maybe he'll fall for the "you need two replacement sets". Sorry about the ooooos, fingers kept slipping on the drooooool on the keyboard.

Mine was a case of I registered at antique rate, and the paperwork needs to be sent to Tallahassee before the end of the registration period. But, don't count on that, our tax collector's staff was super helpful. You know, more flies with honey, and all that.

Ok, how many of you keep a log book?

If you do, what format do you use for log entries, and what actions do you make log entries for?

Also what type of book do you use? Binder with loose leaf paper? Bound book?

Wanted to see the boat, but the link doesn't work.

Brother's "not a chrylser" Pen Kalet has a rail mounted stern light. It is mounted below the top stern rail on a metal plate that is welded to the stern rail. I'll see if I can post up some pics of it.

Just read the brochure, and the motor was optional.

Mario, To quote a gentleman (ok he called himself "the local boat trash"), we met at a marina in Alabama, as long as you are willing to scrub/clean boats you will never lack for work in the boating community. He and his wife had set sail decades ago, and haven't looked back. They also do c...

Motor? it's a sailboat, and as far as you know, it was originally sold without a motor, right?
