Re: Not much for sale
Good time to buy if you can find something. 3 years of no use on top of a couple before that means bargains to be had. Most just need a clean up and a bit of enthusiasm.

Re: When do you lower your keel
Really depends on the boat. A Castle 650 drop keel is a lot more livable with the keel down. It's a drop keel so the COG move up quite a lot when the keel is up. Something like an ultimate 18 with a swing keel and more conservative hull probably leave it longer. But would say: Some keel in any TS is...

Re: Remove wheel studs with hub on the trailer or off?
Similar thing happened on my old boat. New hub. Halfway to Sydney up the Hume all five studs sheared off and the wheel kept going.
We went and bought some studs at Supercheap and put them in and kept going!

Re: It’s been one of those days
When we were kids dad towed the Explorer straight through powerlines with the mast up.
Explorer 1
Power lines 0
Luckily no one was hurt or worse.
Be careful out there folks.

Re: Replacing lead ballast with water
It's a nice idea. The only thing is that lead is 11 x more dense than water so you would need a lot of water and it would be hard to get it all down low.
Probably easier options out there.

Re: Wanting a very small pilothouse T S need help
There was a highly modified TS16 on the gippsland lakes that had the cockpit fully enclosed and standing headroom. I would think a TS 16 lends itself perfectly to your venture. Much more forgiving to a bit of modification than a fibreglass Explorer or similar. (I have had both an Explorer and a TS16...

Re: Is lead ballast inside the hull factory spec?
A fashion back in the day was a lighter keel and weight in the bilge. Could be to do with righting moment with keel up. Easier on lifting tackle? Early Castles also took this approach. It's a heavy way to get righting moment..but there are positive trade off's. Probably one of the reasons Seaways fe...

Re: Raymarine st1000
Excuse my dirty boat. Here it is.
And normally the cord gets routed better than this.
The tiller looks hard over..the pilot isn't powered up so fully retracted.

Re: Raymarine st1000
Peter your Jim Young 6 should tack fine using Autotack. My Castle does.
Have you tried shortening the distance between the pivot point and the ST? This will make it tack quicker at the expense of requiring more force.
I did 28 tacks up the ocean grange channel recently using the auto tack.
