Stus-List Stus-list Bottom paint

+ 1 on Petit Trinidad. It is the #1 recommended paint for overall effectiveness / durability in these here parts.. I'm not in salt water (But I am in a warm climate that is very conducive to slime) so far (1 year) it lives up to the hype and the bottom is completely slime / growth free / smooth

Stus-List Whisker Pole

I'm looking for a used 12-22 ft (Absolute minimal length 18.9 FT) whisker pole. It seems that in light winds jibing / reaching is not paying off for me.. I was a contender for any of the top 3 spots all the way to the weather mark yesterday.. We had to settle for 4th behind 3 other guys runnin

From another point of view.. In Practical Sailor's tests" Irgarol has not been shown to extend the active life of antifouling paints in our tests, and we’ve had a hard time discerning any enhanced slime resistance in Irgarol-boosted paints after six months in the water." In other words, JD

Stus-List Whisker Pole

Thanks to all you guys for pole the wisdom , Through local connections I was able to get the Forespar 12-22 # 402200 pole for just over a couple hundred bucks more than the Selden so I went for the Forespar.. Main reasons were: - At a max of 22 feet it's almost perfectly 150% of my J (L

Stus-List halyard stoppers

Ours came with the Lewmar D1 or D2's. They work well. I don't have any particular procedure and there's a very slight difference in lever pressure opening / closing them at full load or no load at all and it's very easy regardless. Assuming the correct size line for the job (I replaced a few)
