There's a guy looking for a mast for a C&C 35 on this site. Maybe he could use your mast, sleeve it and extend it for his boat. He's located in New York. Here's the link to his post. It would need some modifications but it might be worth a conversation. Seeking used C&C 35 Mast

I would not consider a Capri 22 or a Catalina 25 to be sport boats or capable of planning. If you're looking for speed in a small boat, an older mini transat might be a really fun boat to look at. Camping accommodations are minimal. Ocean capable. 2012 Mini Transat 6.5 Pogo II Cruiser/Racer for...

You must need an awful lot of tanks to get you anywhere. :biggrin:

Our club is talking about making adjustments to PHRF handicaps to include a credit for boats that use dacron sails exclusively. The other thought is giving a penalty to boats that use high tech materials such a carbon. Do any of your clubs make such an adjustment? If so, how many seconds per mile?

Trogear bowsprits can be mounted in many different ways giving you some flexibility with its location. They are pretty easy to remove if it interferes with your anchor. They can also be pivoted up and out of the way when not in use. There's one for sale in the classified section.

Here are the dimensions where the Raritan and Jabsco toilets are different. This is giving some people difficulty with the installation. It's not a direct replacement is some instances. Since many heads are in tight locations, it can make it impossible to run the waste hose to the same location...

It's not an identical match. This has been discussed before. Check out this thread. https://forums.sailboatowners.com/threads/best-manual-toilet.184291/#post-1360857
