Hi All,
Suhana is moving!
I'm loading her on a truck next Thursday and we're saying goodbye to Lake
Ontario. It's been nice but we've done the Thousand Islands two years in a
row and really want to get up to the North Channel.
I've never trucked a boat before. Anyone have some tips to share? I'm
Steve; I have had three different boats trucked for long distances; assuming
your are dealing with a reputable company, there are a few things you should
do; first make sure everything that can move in the inside is secured, tied,
taped or removed from the boat; then take lots of photos for in
A light coating of Joy or some other dish washing soap over the entire exterior
of you boat will make cleaning off any road dirt much simpler. Also watch for
any possible chafing from the tie downs.

I moved from Oakville to the North Channel. My thinking was that a long
drive rather then multi day sailing trip had me sailing longer and cheaper
where I wanted to be. I pay 20% of the boat fees that I paid in Oakville.
Boating services were close to $5,000 year. In Spragge at NC
I'll second the coating with dish soap. Just wipe it on neat.

Can you buy the adhesive plastic sheeting that they put on new cars that
are being trucked? That would protect from small stones etc.

Ditto on removing the Instruments AND any part they sticks up over 13'
The worlds smartest man had the presence of mind to remove his chartplotter
from the pod above the binnacle, but not the Pedestal Guard with the custom

Hi All,
So I checked the various posts and photos available, and chatted with one
lister, but I have yet to see a really clear description of outright
failure of the mast step area, other than repeat references to the 33ii
collapsing mast step syndrome, and the assertion that the construction is

Steve,
We keep Crazy Legs at Midland Bay Sailing Club. About 5 minutes south of Bay
Moorings by car! I have been sailing out of Midland for at least 20 years. And
going to the north channel for about 25 years. The north channel is an
exceptional destination. We brought our boat up by water fro
Dave,
At least the mast is not in the bilge like on my Pearson!
I have not done a mast step repair, but there may be plywood under the
fiberglass cross member (partner?). If the rig tension does not change
over time, your mast step is still solid.

Dave,
A fellow club member with a 33-2 had big problems with his mast step to the
point that he couldn't keep his rig tight. He did allot of rebuilding inside
the boat, including the cavity under the step that is filled with high density
foam. After 30+ years it breaks down and you can't get pro

When I moved my 26 from Gimili to Edmonton I left the stantions and lifelines.
I was planning to take them off but decided against it due to I thought it too
much work and too risky if something broke. Remember everything is old and may
never have been removed.

Steve,
Make sure all your hatches and opening windows are dogged down and locked.
I remember travelling through New Brunswick in the rain and seeing a large
sailboat on a flatbed travelling the other way.
The front hatch was open to the stops and funneling all that rain right into
the cabin
The Poli-glow folks have a remover, but from another lister, I learned that
floor stripper works as well and is cheaper. We got Zep heavy duty floor
stripper from Lowe's. You can dilute it like they do for floors.
I don't think that wax will bring it back to the luster you would like. We went
Gary/John,
I have heard through this list that “Purple Power” will remove PoliGlow too. I
tried it last year and it didn’t work well, even at nearly full strength. It
does clean up greasy engine parts, but not PoliGlow.

Some years back, a fellow club member had a 1985 C&C 33 IIthe cavity
under the mast step that is filled with high density foam got

with every obvious chemical but to no avail. The cavity had to be
cleaned out and it was
