Rob,
There are easier and faster ways to do this - but if you come up dry and
want to try to make a 3D model of YOUR boat, and you were able to take
pictures from numerous angles (while out of the water, perhaps - a drone
might be a good way to do this) I'd be happy to run it through a
photogramme
When I was in a similar situation due to current, I found one of these very
helpful

It let me quickly get a spring line on without messing with boat hooks or
leaving the boat.

We had luck with welding. Get the right rod - LLDPE I think it is. Practice
a little with a heat gun and it turns out great.

This summer I discovered varnish in a spray can. I decided to try it on my
grab rails. Two interesting differences from traditional varnish:
- Subsequent coats can be applied without sanding if done within an hour or
so. You don't wait for it to dry completely.
- No brush marks

I used less than a bottle to go around my 37.
I think it depends on how much butyl sealant is left in there / how many
voids there are. Where there's a gap, it'll keep flowing in. On my toe
rails, it went in only a little before pooling at the edge of the toe rail.

I recently went on a fix-all-the-leaks initiative. I wasn't sure whether I
might have any leaks in the toe rail, but thought I'd try Captain Tolley's
for good measure after reading your previous post about it Dennis. Really
neat stuff. If I had leaks there, I'm pretty sure I don't now.

Hey, those look pretty good.
Good timing - I had just ordered a replacement raritan heater - the
original seems to have rusted out - but looks like the order didn't go
through. I think I'll get one of these instead. Thanks!

Dennis,
One of my spies watched your last attempt. It looks like you've got a ways
to go. Let us know when you've made more progress.

On occasion, someone bumps our autopilot and manages to engage it.
Sometimes a curious little kid. I'm sure glad it's within reach of the

Interesting. I'd always learned that rowboats, canoes and the like had the

free of obstructions. That usually seems to make sense, as a sailboat with

I went the splitter route with good results. Works a lot better than the

Do you folks suggest replacing the 30 year-old plumbing lines just because
of the life forms you suspect may be growing in there? Or some other reason?

My previous boat was named Sweet Dream when I got her. I didn't care for
the name but never changed it. My crew wanted to name the dinghy Wet
Dream, and occasionally used that call sign on VHF 13.

suspect it was named after

Hi List,
My boat came with this nicely installed Xantrex Pro-sine 2.0
inverter/charger. The thing worked great but is now producing a "memory
error" message on the remote display, and won't invert or charge any more.
Xantrex no longer provides parts for it.
Does anyone out there have one that fa
I had dinner on a friend's very nice boat on Friday. He had rigged a small
light on the bottom of the boom which lit up the cockpit very nicely.

My C&C 37 has the house batteries in about that same place. Easy to get
to. The only issue is that between batteries, inverter, radome etc, the
boat sits a little low in the stern, leading to growth on the gel coat just
above the bottom paint. My solution was to move to freshwater!

Seems to me that if the boat normally sails stern-low, it moves the center
of effort aft and has the same effect as raking the mast on a level boat...
