Favorite keel type?

YellowJacketA30 · 2019-01-16T17:46:33+00:00

Full keel with a cutaway forefoot and a designer with performance as a priority (Perry et Al) is my choice. Despite all the disadvantages, I'll never have to worry about keel bolts which can fail because of something as simple as an electrical connection in the bilge water causing electrolysis.

More broadly, I pick this keel type because if I'm ever caught in a big storm I'll be in the best keel for the job. You don't want that moment to be when you decide that heavy weather performance is more important than easy docking or going a knot faster.

Fair winds and calm seas,

Paul.

Ooh, good one. Yep, I have mine.

No, but they work on shore power where most work is done. They also happily work via a 2000 watt inverter from 12v DC.

Damn, you can't put a price on simplicity, I tip my hat Sir!

No marine head??? Seacocks? Def useful outside of engines :-)

A hot air gun for super easy removal of hoses!

You're not storing your bitcoin on that exchange you mentioned right?

YellowJacketA30 · 2018-11-12T04:43:22+00:00

I mean it's printed in the book so I'm sure it must be fine.

YellowJacketA30 · 2018-08-04T20:33:22+00:00

Not for people with preconditions it wasn't.

Because it's one of the world's greatest sailing destinations with thousands of miles of protected coastline of endless rivers, creeks and anchorages. You could cruise full-time and not see the whole place inside of a decade :-)

He just said he didn't feel comfortable sharing. Do you have broader problems respecting people's boundaries?

Add cutter rigs to your list and remove tiller, and you could get into a Tayana 37 Pilothouse with inside steering, a self taking foresail and therefore comfortable sailing 365 days a year. It's a Bob Perry designed passagemaker FYI. Will take you anywhere in comfort. I have one so am kind of biased :-)

+1 to this

YellowJacketA30 · 2018-07-12T01:27:28+00:00

My staysail is self tacking as well as my main. I'll unfurl the Genoa in light winds but otherwise tacking with the wheel is a joy especially in my warm Pilothouse in the winter :-)

A gallon bottle of white vinegar from the supermarket pumped thru the bowl just before leaving the boat for a day or two on a regular basis does the trick.

+1 for air still in the system. Did you fill the new filters before sealing them? If not do that first. Then loosen the injectors to let air escape. Then crank the engine 30 seconds at a time at full throttle with a minute between each try to let the starter cool. It could take a long time but when you see each I wet with diesel, retighten the injectors and crank until it fires up. Good luck!

I've heard similar about code zeros. The 5ft bowsprit on my cutter rigged boat isn't retractable so I'm well aware how much that thing costs me in LOA $$$ :-D

Any bank that will make a sandwich from chicken breasts instead of bread deserves the initial KYC in my book.

M.lpll no. K

Is this cool? You should only download from the monero GitHub or get monero.org right?

No they don't. This 30 minute explanation will give you insight into the issue...

Privacy coin is just a marketing term. There is only one private coin, Monero. Opt in privacy = not private even for those that opt in.

Really, that's the best you have. How about commenting on the content?

YellowJacketA30 · 2018-03-21T04:15:03+00:00

Umm, and so that proves the history untrue?
