I went the Plexus route and I was very pleased with the results. The gun was
air powered making it easy to use and the newer products have a better working
time than the original stuff. I'm on 4 years and happy.
This is my second attempt however. In the original job I think I squeezed too
much
This sounds well thought out but I have one thought on this. You say you
painted the inside of the plexiglass black, the substrate you are now adhering
to is paint and not the window itself. I'm thinking you may see the window
separate from the VHB tape and leave the paint behind on the tape as

I’ve been using Costco deep cycle 12v batteries since 2002 and I’m really happy
with them. My oldest one still in rotation is a 2008 and it’s ready to go into
season number 10!

Hi folks.
I’ve worked with fibreglass for years and have pretty much memorized the West
epoxy how-to book. I want to learn more about engineering the reinforcements
and repairs I’m doing. Can anyone in the know recommend a good text book on
the subject of marine composites which goes into mor
I too peruse some of these, and during my hour long drive to the club I like to
catch the 59 North Sailing Podcast.
For those who haven’t tried this out, It’s hosted by a young guy who owns and
charters a Swan 48 and along with great offshore ocean sailing dialogue, he
also has fantastic interv
Happy Saturday folks.
I recently got my hands on a pair of old Barient 23ST’s for my 27-5. Yes they
are a size or so larger than needed but so what, I’m getting tired of grinding
till I hurt.
I attached one to the deck and went for a sail to test it out. The performance
was stellar but it
Hi Mark.
Did you see a copy of the Speed Pac issued in 1984 based on performance

is the 27-5 likes lots of mast rake.

I used my 100 in 7 knots of wind for the test. My sheets on this sail are old
7/16” yacht braid (I think) which are not as slippery as my newer softer lines
on my racing 3DL.
Since I’ve increased the sheeting angle on the higher drum I really didn’t
expect what is happening. But the suggesti

I'm experiencing the same issue with my 1GM10. I'm suspecting an air leak in
the line. My trouble shooting thus far has only been replacing the fuel filter.
I'm anxious to hear suggestions too.

Cold isn't my issue, this has been an ever increasing issue throughout the
year. I'm also suspecting fuel that's gone well past its shelf life.
Replacing the fuel and cleaning the tank is next. It's been 8 years since I did
it last and aside from topping up the tank in the fall with a gallon o
