Hey Jeff… This is the latest version of the rail mount propane tank bracket I have. https://www.suremarineservice.com/Galley/Propane-Railmount-Bracket-Assembly/001-749A.html It’s a fine bracket and has served for many years. At our last winter meeting free raffle I scored a slightly larger tank so I...

That looks great, came out really well. I need to give my cabin sole a light sand and a couple coats of varnish. Thought I might get it done after the boat was hauled but it was last on my list and it’s too cold now. It’ll be an easy job in the spring Leoma must be very happy. You’re taking very goo...

The I is 41, the P is 35, and the J is 13.5 with total of 724 square feet of sail area. Those dimensions are rig dimensions of course so I don’t know the luff, leach, and foot dimensions of the sail itself. I just checked the specifications on the Doyle invoice. I presumed it was accurate. IMG_0437...

Nice work. Always interesting to see the latest projects on Leoma.

If your driveshaft is 1” it’s size “C”. Just search under “prop nut sacrificial anode” at your marine supplier website of choice.

It’s just naturally occurring verdigris which will form upon exposure to air or seawater. You may want to check your hose for a slight leak or it may just be condensation forming and following the hose down to the seacock. I see no issue to be concerned about in this photo. If verdigris is good enou...

I watched this with interest soon after it appeared on YouTube since I am subscribed. With the huge amount of views it has racked up apparently thousands of others also appreciate your videos. Keep up the good work.

We're still sailing in Fairfield. Although just for one more week.

There have been a handful of beautiful days. I’m jealous…

Orion was hauled on 10/16 and the first thing I did was rinse the hull from the toerail to the waterline with hull cleaner. This ensures the surface will be clean for a coat of wax in the spring. Next I spent five days sanding the bottom (with the aim of removing this seasons coat of antifouling so ...

Fred Mueller, our esteemed potentate extraordinaire, has an immaculate CD27 “Jerezana” which he has repowered with a Beta 14. You can do a search to see what he has posted here or PM Fred for further details. The 1,500 pound difference in displacement between the CD27 and CD28 may be a deciding fact...

I replaced mine several years ago from the original gray “plastic” one to a polyurethane roller I picked up at West Marine. They had a big selection of sizes intended as replacements for the rollers on boat trailers. It’s still in fine shape and has held up remarkably well to my chain rode. It’s qui...

Dear All, Getting tired of dealing with the headsail getting caught up with the staysail when tacking a lot and come to the conclusion I need to be able to quickly release the staysail forestay to avoid the constant catching of the head sail on the staysail. Love the staysail sail when on long runs...
