Sails and Canvas / loose or fixed foot
« on: March 18, 2024, 05:39:23 PM »
Am ordering a new main sail and everything I have read was loose footed is the way to go.  Am I just old school or should I move up with the times.

For Sale and Wanted / Prop
« on: June 16, 2023, 10:17:10 AM »
Looking for a 3 blade prop for my Pearson 323.  It has an 1 1/8" shaft and Volvo MD11 diesel I am not sure of the size or pitch it should be.  I believe it should be left hand.  Used good shape or new.
Thanks, Dick                              I am tired of not being able to back up...

Engine and Drive Train / throttle cable end

I have an Volvo MD11c.  The throttle control cable end, that connects to the ball on throttle shaft is shot.  It is also plastic.  I am looking for replacement or part number.  Any help would be appreciated.

It looks better in person.  I love it, you have to get one.  I think I am going to paint the background the same color of my hull (Dark blue).  I will let you know how it turns out.  Painted today...

If I wanted to post a short video of sailing, how do I go about it.  Every time I try to do it the whole post goes away.  I even tried to shorten the video  but no help.

P40 / Pearson 40
« on: August 16, 2018, 06:26:43 PM »
I was looking and thinking about a Pearson 40 with a flush deck.  What are your thoughts about this vessel.  At the price I have seen I might just be dreaming.  It look's fast just sitting at the dock.

Standing & Running Rigging and Fitting/Tuning / Boom Vang
« on: May 01, 2018, 09:55:00 PM »
Just got a killer deal on a Boom Vang.  Want to know what type of attachment points should I get?  Like the boom should I just get a one bolt boom bail and what size?  Also the mast, should I get something that will move to both sides or a mast hound.  It is a soft Vang.  Don't want to spend a lot but would like something descent, is that possible?   I will be installing this myself.  Thank You for the input.   Dick

After fixing- prop,prop shaft, strut, skeg, motor mounts while the insurance company was paying to have it out what a good time to repaint the bottom and polish her up.  Was also able to go out and see the eclipse.  Feels good to be able to go sailing again.  Sure was a long month...
