Re: shroud tension question?
I've had a guy I know sailing with me and he observed/commented that he thought the shrouds were too loose. Please note, he is not a rigger. My wife has had some ongoing medical issues, so I haven't had as much time as I'd like so I havent attended to all of the things I should. So one day I was goi...

Shroud Tension
My rigging seemed to be a little too loose. so i checked the owners manual linked on this board and it said not to get it too tight,"not bar tight" and that there should be about an inch of slack. Am i misreading or does that sound right?

Re: Engine sump
I've found I have a leak from the back of the engine so I have to empty out the engine pan and bilge regularly to avoid the pump dumping oil in the water. I talked to the mechanics at Marine Engines Unlimited in Galesville and they suggested I wait until the end of the season to have it repaired. Al...

Re: Is Face Book Killing the Forum?
Even though I have a Facebook account I don't use it often. I have found this forum to be incredibly valuable from entertainment to how-to, to envy producing.
Now, I just realized I have not sent any money in, can anyone advise or tell to whom I should?

Add Mainsheet Traveler Using Existing Track
I need/want to update my mainsheet traveler on my CD 27 and wondering if it's possible to use the existing track.
I contacted Gerhauer and they said to remove the track and send it to them, same with Bacon Sails in Annapolis.

Can't find anything on the engine leaking so one afternoon the local mechanic agreed to take a look, for the price of a cup of coffee.. He agreed it wasn’t coming from the engine and opined it was probably from the rudder shaft. Now t...

I thought I ought to rewire it since the old wire is cracking Trouble is that I cannot figure out where the wire runs. I'd just. cut it off flush and run a new wire bu...
