Where has my ocean gone?
Okay nautical brain trust, where has my ocean gone? Specifically the Sargasso Sea. For the last month it seems it is always low tide and the place is starting to look more like the Maine coast than pinky beach Bermuda.

tiller lock manufactured by Aronowitsch & Lyth of Sweden
Hello All, looking to install the tiller lock manufactured by Aronowitsch & Lyth ab on my Ty. Before I drill any holes, let me ask, if any of you installed this particular kit on your Ty? If so where have you placed the various components? Any pics would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Thanks.

1975 Hull number 24
Trapper, I just corrected the typo in my earlier post. Hull no. 24 is a 1975 model. Congrats on your purchase. I downloaded the pics of your boat when I first saw the posting. You didn't mull that one over too long -- only way to do it when you know just what you want. " Faith " has just c...
