There's an outfit called Hitchcock which specializes in wide sizes. I don't see dedicated sailing boots in their flyer, but they have many other wide boots. They are at www.wideshoes.com or 888-599-9433 and may know of some other supplier. Gary - Original Message - From: Alan Berge

I have duck feet and have never found sailing boots that fit. Then I remembered all the times I spent an entire day diving in 60F water or standing on deck in the rain, and picked up a pair of dive booties. The have good non-skid soles, and the neoprene stretches, and they do keep your feet w

Hi, The drains are what they are! A very bad design and unless you want to make them bigger which means a lot of work you are stuck with the design. I don't remember having water in the cockpit while sailing. I checked with Kevin, another Redline 25 owner, and he says no pro

Never had one... but I'm lounging about watching 'Goldfinger' and really regret selling my Aston Martin back in 1962. (That was a joke... I was four in 1962.) Do old Atomic 4's need leaded gas? I've always wondered. Wal Bob wrote: The good ol' Atomic 4. Under sail, with a big enough prop,

I prefer the interior layout of the 1989 37/40 with an aft cabin queen sized bed to the 1980 40 footer, which is much narrower in the stern. You pay a little more, but resale will be better. There was a 37R wich is pretty spartan, and full cruise 37plus and a 37XL . They were built in light race
