Deck Mounted Hardware / Teak Coaming replacement

« on: September 08, 2016, 12:16:54 PM »

On Carefree Highway I have teak on the cockpit coaming. I notice that many of the pictures I have seen of the 323 that teak was either an option, or was removed rather than maintained. I need to make a decision on either replacing mine (has been sanded and refinished too many times) or remove and refinish the coaming top. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

Sails and Canvas / Mainsail Slides/Slugs

« on: November 15, 2015, 07:47:14 AM »

I have bought a used mainsail for Carefree Highway that is in pretty good shape and I would like to make sure the the slides on the sail are going to fit the tracks in the mast and boom. Does anyone know what size these need to be?

Sails and Canvas / Hello Everybody! Dodger?

« on: August 10, 2015, 10:02:05 PM »

I wanted to introduce myself. My name is Randal Williams and I am the new, proud owner of hull #281, 'Carefree Highway'. I have owned her for almost two months and she is my first sailboat. As I was in need of a maiden voyage to learn how to sail, my youngest son and I took her on a four day trip from Clear Lake Shore Texas to Fulton Texas where she is now moored. I have a lot of work to do on this boat, and I hope you folk will give be gracious enough to help a new sailor figure things out. For starters, where would be a good place find a dodger? Would it be possible to build one? I've already seen Dolce Vita's bimini and will be looking for something similar. If you can help with information, I'm all ears. And thanks in advanced!
