Hello all,
While headed up the river to take Zella (35-3) out for the season (yes, I
know it's early) I hit some sort of underwater obstruction at about 4kts.
Took a chunk out of the keel with it as you can see in the photo. Any
suggestions on how to repair? Just clean up the edges and fill it wit
I've had lots of luck and sold to older boats on sailboatlistings.com it's
free and lots of brokers you today as well tons of visibility. just be
aware there's plenty of scam artists out there looking to make a buck.

Everyone talking about backstay tension reminded me of a project I was
looking to do this winter; rebuild the backstay tensioner. It's the
original navtec one with the handle and guage built-in. There's always a
bit of oil on the ram when it's extended so I'm guessing just needs a new
seal.

Making the plunge from JAM to Spin doesn't need to be terrifying or
expensive (unless you want it to.) You can find a used chute for a couple
hundred bucks online and as others mentioned a few blocks and line and
you're going. Once you've learned to tame the pole and kite then go and
spend the mone
I just bought a new main from evolution sails. It's a kiwi based company
but their local rep in Chicago really took his time to work through things.

My understanding is the the small tracks (my 35-3 only has the rear ones)
are to help you get really tight sheeting angles when trying to point.
Functionally, I've never used them and typically point higher than most of
the competition even with the big #1 genoa. The forward ones as you note
are pr

Things here in Chicago are finally opening up and I'm anticipating being
able to re-step my mast for 2020 pretty soon. When I pulled the mast in

I have not purchased from Loong sails but reflect other's comments here
about things made in China, especially in the current climate. I just

their service. They even partnered with a local small loft to take care of

Hello All,
I recently purchased a new to me 35-3 and an very excited for the coming
spring and am grateful to this board. I did have a question about the
'upper' genoa tracks on the 35-3 that are about 2' long and mounted on the
cockpit coamings just aft of the cabin. I assume that these are for s
Hello,
I'm currently re-rigging my 35-3 and have run into some trouble with the

replacing the control line that comes out at the gooseneck impossible. Is
there anyone on here who has made this replacement and if so is it possible
Hello Folks,
I'm considering simplifying things on my 35-3 and changing to an
asymmetrical system. I'm interested in any information from folks here that
have done a similar conversion: positives, negatives, cautionary tales?

Hello group,
I'm looking to make some repairs to the deck this winter and fill in some
stress cracks etc. The boat has the original gel-coat still. Has anyone had
any luck with a topside paint that matches the gel-coat on a circa 1985
boat? It's an off white that gets darker when wet and I hate to

I actually just switched to lithium batteries, for the reasons everyone
mentioned below... better life, deeper cycling, WEIGHT. I got 200AH worth
of "12v" batteries on ebay for $1200, not name brand but as far as I'm
concerned it's all the same cells on the inside just like buying AGM's from
