Yes I do have an adapter. I fill is about $2.50 or so at the CNG station at BWI ☺ I am not sure I would do CNG over again starting from scratch, now in 2020 you can buy 10 pound aluminum propane tanks that can live on the stern rail and not rust. YMMV Joe Della Barba Coquina C&C 35 MK I www.del

A warning – anyone who still has a pressurized alcohol stove, please do not think “this is safe, water puts it out”. Sure water puts out SMALL alcohol fires. But small isn’t the issue, the problem is when a hose or fitting lets go and the whole tank of alcohol dumps into the cabin. This happened

Hi all, for making new floorboards for a laminate I was thinking of 3/4" marine ply with coats of epoxy after getting to the right size. Then using epoxy to attach the laminate. Would love to keep them as light as possible but still waterproof. Is there a better way to go on this? thanks! Rockland

I was never a big fan of that smell. Nothing better for a queasy 10-year old than to be directed by Dad to get something from down below in lumpy Lake Erie waves, and being greeted by that stale air / alcohol smell in the cabin. Nearly five decades later, and I remember it like it was yesterda

I had a ton of fun bragging to a big steel ketch hove-to in 20 foot seas that not only were we going balls-out rail down with as much sail as the boat could handle, I was making pancakes for the whole crew on the griddle. This required two alcohol burners to be running. Everyone loved the hot br

So, Dennis, you think it will work if he removes more of the upper tube (almost back to the integral stern pulpit upright stanchions). That’s a long wire gate, but that would address the issue I raised. I would also suggest through-bolting the end caps holding the wire gate ends instead of rel

Yep. Agree. Leave 2-4 inches of tube on each side. In my original response I said drill and tap for a machine screw to secure the stanchion eye caps. I'd install it on the underside of the tube and use threadlocker. Length of the wire gate would still be much shorter than the spans between lif

You might be interested to try Amsteel in lew of wire. Johnson makes very nice pelican hooks just for this. Alternatively you can use a regular pelican hook. I particularly like being able to wrap the line around the ladder which supports the gate and holds the ladder while not marring or damagi
