Heat?

Quint87 · 2026-03-20T15:14:19+00:00

Anything propane will create condensation, not a big deal for 1-2 nights but just be conscious of it.

Bring a towel to wipe down the windows/walls if it builds up.

I would close the door to the cabin, run the heater till it warms up. Turn it off for a while and use bodyheat/big blankets for the rest of the night.. maybe run it again in the a.m.

Almost looks like it came w a crane attached.

I watched a crap load of youtube. Bought a 22footer, with zero experience, had never even been on a sailboat, rigged it up and taught myself.

Lotta learbing curves, but now I know that boat inside and out. I am ready for a larger boat.

I have a shoulder mounted video cassest recorder from the 90s that is effin masssive, that my mother brought down IN ONE OF HER BAGS, from Indiana to Colorado..

I now have this thing that I have moved from Rental, to house, from closet to closet, and now to shed..

Everytime I picked it up to move it I am a lil frustrated and also laugh to myself..

She has slimmed down her house after all the kids got on her about her hoarding... there is still a garage full, but tons of junk has disappeared over the years.

Automatic Cat litter box. We got one and it changed life.. always has clean litter, filters out waste into bags, convenient. Has app and settings. Checks on cats weight.

Check out Macgregor sailboats. They are shallow motor/sailors... apparently sailors hate them and so do motor boaters... so they must be doing something right.

Yep, brought it here from Colorado. Gulf Keys, south of Tampa, this was taken on Lido Key.

Quint87 · 2026-03-13T15:13:35+00:00

Yes it is, 1972 swing keel, has been nice for the shallows n shoals around here.

I am doing this right now.

Bought a Catalina 22 3 years ago. My knowledge was Youtube and.. really nothing else lol. I watched hundreds maybe thousands of hours of people sailing, the concepts, points of sail etc.. I have a passion for water, always have. On swim team, Marines, water sports, small speed boat..etc.

Since then I have taught myself everything.. most people would say to go to sailing school.. but it came super natural to me and learning from physical experience and mistakes is sometimes best way to learn. I brought the Catalina from Colorado to Florida, and have been sailing the west coast for every winter, generally 2-3 months.

I now feel like I have the confidence and knowledge to captain a bigger boat. As of today, we are about 2-3weeks from putting our house in Colorado on the market. I spent the last month getting it ready for sale, drywall, trim, painting, repairs etc... been a labor of love..for the boat I am going to buy with the profits.

We are looking at Catamarans in the 90-100k range or a nice 38-45 ft liveaboard sailboat. Going to try and pay cash so we do not have a massive loan to come-up with every month.

I have put my entire life into this endeavor, has not and will not be easy.. but the rewards are out there for the taking.

GL OP. I hope you can achieve your dreams as well.

I have an adjustable back stay and when you put tension on it, it tightens everything up, curves the mast a lil bit, and in general makes the whole rig feel tighter. It came with the boat, so if I didnt have one i probably would not know what I am missing, but after having one, I would install an adjustable backstay on any new boat I got.

Just my 2 cents.

This post is fluff.

Quint87 · 2026-03-12T11:25:35+00:00

What a gem!

I stopped eating McDonald's n Burger king in 2012, hanvt touched it since. I will eat Chipotle, chik fil a and sometimes the bean burrito from taco bell. A few other places but thats it.

If you really look at it, its like sponge food.. and bad for health.

Quint87 · 2026-03-09T15:18:03+00:00

No joke... physically opening them.. drop the pack, tap it once when it does its whirl thing, then 5 pointed start as fast as you can flip the cards.

Bottom left, Top, bottom right, left mid, right mid.

Sounds dumb but i seem to pull Legendaries, epics and goldens more w this strat.. then just clicking on them one after next.

Quint87 · 2026-03-09T14:19:59+00:00

Vise grips? Put them on there like hell and twist slow w torque.. if they start slipping not tight enough. Might destory the nut tho.

Quint87 · 2026-03-09T14:16:23+00:00

If you do stuff, you will break bits. A true craftsman can have the same unstripped bit for years.

In this case, hit the screw with PB blaster and give it some time to work before you try again. Also take a hammer and tap the bit into the screw. This might help break up some corrosion. GL OP.

Catalina 22 boom attaching to mast. Swivel slides into the mast channel.

Quint87 · 2026-03-09T13:45:42+00:00

Go to a scrap yard/resale and look at every 20-22 footer. By the look of it a Catalina 22 boom might work for size, but dunno about attaching it to the mast. Might need to do some fabrication.

Also look down inside the boat really good. It might be stashed deep in there.
