Andrew, If you have homeowners insurance, ask agent about quoting you a marine rider. On a boat the size of yours should be no problem to get liability and agreed hull value policy. I did it for years until I got my 36, then had to go to inland marine policy separate from homeowners. Btw, I

Stus-List Flag Etiquette - Past Commodore's Flag

I would disagree with that statement. If the boat owner was in fact a commodore and is flying the Past Comm flag along with the club burgee from that club it is fine. Geography has nothing to do with it - especially in CT where you may well have 3 clubs within 1/2 mile of each other. Yes, it

Re: Stus-List Prop Walk C&C 29-2

Josh, the proper term for what you are describing is "torque steer", not prop wash. Torque steer to port in forward is present on all single screw boats with a RH prop, just as prop walk to port in reverse. A boat with a LH prop will torque steer to starboard, and prop walk to starboard.
