It was a fun sail.

I love Crocs but found the original version slippery. I recently picked up a pair of the Ace Boating version of Crocs and their non slip sole is great.

I made the mistake of taking apart our Morse control to lubricate (it was taking a lot of force to move it into forward or reverse) without taking any pictures first. When I reassembled the lever and throttle cable move smoothly but the transmission cable no longer moves. Seem like I reassembled it ...

The owners manual on our Volvo D1-20 recommends changing the coolant and transmission fluids every other year. We average 40-50 hours of engine time per season.

The boat is on a mooring in Buzzards Bay more than a hundred yards from a dock. 2) As an interim measure I was thinki...

We are interested in getting a blue lines print for a CD 28 so that we can order t-shirts. Does anyone have an suggestion?
