    recommended boat yards?

    Berkeley Marine Center has done some work on at least two boats. Ruben is there... I think still. They are supportive of SSS types and DIY. Prob true of most yards, but good to be there to visit while work is in progress. Lots of cats.

    Lewmar 40 Standard winches- two (possibly only one working) $20

    Lewmar 40 Standard winches- two (possibly only one working) $20 It looks like pre-1993, “earlier standard” version. There is a crack on the side of one of the drums, so it is possible only one is functioning. These came to me uninstalled on a boat that has self-tailing winches, so I think these...

    YRA Offshore electronics questions

    On the SHTP, we used em-trak B924 AIS transponder and Standard Horizon GX2000 for AIS display and alarm. It worked as expected, and I “saw” more ships than I would have picked up just looking around. Whenever one was within 10 miles or so, I called, asked if they could see our AIS, our radar...

    Around the World from West coast?

    I think there is a minimum bend radius...? 4x the line diameter, so 1" for 1/4" line. Would something like this from Colligo be useful between the pin and the lashing? When I called, the owner of this company picks up the phone and is helpful.
