Trailer Sailer Place

I had a dennis as my first boat, I found a long shaft was best, you could likely get away with a short shaft in canberra, but then I have not sailed the lake there so dont really know what conditions can get like, a short shaft will be out of the water at some stage....so I would definitely go long....

Hi Y'all, has anyone ever heard of a boat design called Great Southern Ocean, yes its a Keel boat, I have done a Google search and found nothing....any ideas???

Cops were no help, the dill left his mobile unlocked so I scrolled thru found his Dads number and called him.....after a bit of tooing and frowing he paid up and I gave him his phone back the thing that surprised me most was his age I thought he was just a young bloke...it was dark...but he was 32 H...

Hi All I have almost finished doing the refurb on stella and was thinking I might enter this race for the fun of it and of course to support the cancer council, I have been trying to find the cat N% regs to make sure I can comply before entering but seem to have a case of blind old fart and cant fin...

I did my usual trip and moored on a pontoon went and had a few beers at the pub only to get back and see the boat gone, lucky for me the guy was an idiot and couldnt get the motor started, he got stuck in the mud because the centreboard was still down, I managed to get him to paddle the boat a bit c...

"whats wrong with flowcoat?

its not paint and should not be used as such as you will get bad result

Perhaps what he was trying to relate is that BOAT means bring out another thousand......just ask anyone who has gone to a dealer to have his boat or outboard repaired.....although we often blame the poor mechanic for pricing....I wanted a new cowling the other day for a small 5 hp 4 stroke honda the...

Hi all
I use caster oil the racing kind, it disperses in the fuel better doesnt stink like two stroke nor make your crew sick, it does cost a couple of dollars more but not enough to care

Yep does sounds like dog gear to me too, however before you throw it away suggest that you check the gear lever sometimes they can work loose enough that vibration will cause this problem to occur, if you havent already done so check the linkage

Hi all I dont use wd40 on anything it stripps oil from parts even though they claim it lubricates etc dont use it Go for lanotec or similar. there is another I use as well it has lanolin in it as well I dont use wd40 on outboards either for the reasons stated above, one of my customers has used baby...

Geez what a response, I do have to admit that I enjoy this site and I dont wish for my comments to reflect upon the admin of this site because I think they do a hard job very well. Dont always agree with them but ....thats life.... As some would know I do all sorts of repair work, and have tried ove...

I can tell you one thing about this site that I have noticed in the years that I have been a member....lots of people love to give advice about where to go and who to see...they might never have used them....or even seen there work yet other members of this site do make a living either building boat...

I got 114 told me above average for light design but best I stay in smooth waters gee I didnt know that

Could be a false floor, hard to say, dont know what type of Boat you have there, if it is a false floor that in a sense is better for you, if you have a diamond cutter cut that section out. Prepare and glass up whatever the crack is beneath and re mould that section of the floor that you have cutout...

Ok Joe, without looking at it, yes you can grind out the crack past the damage and then reglass , make sure you are well wide with your grinding and allow enough area for glass and resin to bite into or you wont get a satisfactory bond. I would also consider using epoxy rather than gp, I know more e...
