Re: Spotted: CD 30 MK II
the lack of a keel stepped mast might throw some off. i think they should have carried the beam further aft. but the fit and finish of these boats was excellent.

Re: Lazy Jacks -Yea or nay!
lazy jacks work well to prevent the sail from dropping to the deck. it's still a bit of work to flake and stow but yes .. i think it is worth it.

Re: Leoma. Icebox conversion
i have one of those in my boat. it works great but does take some amperage. you can adjust the thermostat and set it low to conserve on power. i like your wrap around coils. there is a way to run it with shore power (instead of battery) but i have not made that conversion yet.

Re: Eyebrow Removal
the eyebrows are a pain the butt .. but i'm not sure i will remove them from my boat. if you had rotten wood then it was a good idea.

Re: Wet bilge on typhoon
i have seen small leaks in thru hulls go away over time but have also seen NPT fittings leak when no thread tape or compound was used. your choice i guess.
