Once upon a time I was looking to buy an SUV. I looked at the specs on Toyota, Nissan and Isuzu. WOW! The Isuzu had a lot for hundreds of $$ less. I went to a dealer and test drove one. I knew in the 1st 200 yards I didn't want one regardless of price. Paid more for a Nissan and never looked

Fred, I've often thought of a keel shoe, although I draw 6'5" already... Our wind on the Chesapeake tends to be light most of the time. We do well in light air. I think adding 600-800 lbs. to my keel would probably slow us down more than help us. Of course, the PHRF gods would not treat us wel

Hi Wally, I live in Massachusetts and sail around cape cod and the islands. I'm just beginning in these waters and I find myself checking the charts alot. I'm thinking I'd be a lot more at ease if I had a ready reference right there on the helm. I guess I already do in the old garmin. It do

Agreed, plus add in the comfort of sailing a stiffer boat...heel angle is much reduced as the wind builds and some people like that and the boat likes it too...its faster and a lot easier than reducing sail whenever the wind builds Dwight Veinot C&C 35 MKII, Alianna Head of St. Margaret's Bay, NS

Right. You can download a heck of a lot of charts for free, so that's check it out before considering 'free charts' as added value. Danny, where the heck do you live and where do you sail? I have this thing called 'cruiseheimers' and my attention span is limited. You probably already said th

Re: Stus-List chartplotter/radar

I recommend not buying any chart plotter without first trying it. Some plotters are easier to use than others, and you don't want any surprises. I bought my Raymarine C80 on line from ebay. It wasn't until I tried to use it at night on an overnight race that I discovered that the controls aren't
