Good afternoon all. Was busy putting a coat of bottom paint on the sailboat this morning. AC crapped out. Fan needs a new condenser; easy peasy. Got one on Amazon - correct value, wrong diameter. She’s running now but I’ll have to get the correct one for it soon.

 

What do you sail?
I got out of it maybe 10 years ago because my girlfriend’s social circle was into power boats and sand-bar/island tie-ups. Having a sailboat just wasn’t practical. I miss my Catalina 22. I had a Starwind 19 before that.

 

Finally
The fuckin wall from hell looks like it should.
Took a DA to smooth it out enough.



Added a new, upgraded ac unit….

 

I have a ‘72 Venture 17 overnighter. It was given to me and I’ve fully restored it a few years ago. Even had the deck off. It’s light enough for me to suspend from the garage attic which helps when working on it. New rigging, sails, and furler. I sail out of New Haven, CT on Long Island Sound. Someday, I’ll get something in the 25-28’ range.

 

In our town of less than 9,000, we have 5 Dollar General stores.. my wife wanted to go get a few things. She needed to go to 4 of them.

Remembering how/when I said I do.

 

Nice boat, looks like fun.

 

I like how your flooring uses the sheet foam instead of the glued on stuff on each piece of flooring. I wish I had done it the way that you did yours.

 

Went for a MTB ride... a short one.

 

Tells the bike mechanic “I was just riding along” when this happened.

Classic JRA.

 

Nice! We used to have a Catalina Capri 16.5. Fun boat
My dad grew up in New Haven.

 

Ouch,

 

Oof. How are your front teeth?

 

Good evening everyone

That’s a nice sailboat Rocketman.

Dammit.

 

Beautiful boat! It would be cool to see more pictures. UW Green Bay used to run a summer sailing school staffed by the sailing team. I probably went there in 1980. I’ve loved it ever since. A buddy just sold his Chrysler 22. Have you seen one of those? Great in choppy bay water.

 

I’ve only seen photos of a Chrysler 22. Never in person. Cape Dory’s are popular at the yacht club. I’d love to get a CD25d or CD27d. The ‘d’ designation is an inboard diesel. I’ll get a photo or two of my dry dock setup tomorrow when I go put, yet another, coat of bottom paint on the keel.

 

Actually I was- downhill pretty fast and hit a big rock.

Yeah, but I have a spare wheel until I fix or replace this one.

Rear wheel so teeth are good!

Kind of what I said when it happened...

 

Good Morning!

 

Good morning , glad your body survived, looks like a nasty hit. I would be amazed if that rim could be repaired, but if you have the right equipment. Cool you have a spare wheel, back at it.

 

Good morning

Heading to work in a few. I hope you all have a great Saturday.

 

Stay on the asphalt and you won’t have that problem..
Kinda like what I tell Tacoma owners when they break something off road and get all
Pissy when Toyota won’t pay for it..

Tee Hee





Hope you’re ok..
