Hi all. I'm brand new here, so please excuse me if this has been posted elsewhere. I just joined a club with my Catalina 16.5k (fixed keel). I'll probable have to cable launch it from the trailer with a 30 foot strap.
I've read that I need to mount my spare tire on the tongue in a working manner...
Hello everyone. New to the forum. Fairly new sailboat owner. Bought my 76 Oday 22 last year. Been working on restoring it. Plan to learn to sail on it while I save for retirement. Hope to share pictures and help others on projects where I can and get help myself.
Hey everyone, I just picked up a 19’ mariner and I’m just looking for literally any advice on where to get started with it. It hasn’t been in the water in over 2 years. It seems to be well taken care of. It has 2 sets of sails one being fairly new. And a 2hp outboard. And all of the gear, ropes...
I am stripping my sailboat's bottom back down to the gelcoat. I'm new to sailing and have a few questions I've been meaning to ask.
First off, I've felt a bit overwhelmed the past few days. While at first, we were able to get a lot of paint off fast - getting that last 5% has been exhausting...
Hi all, new sailor here, so first, thank you for any insights. Taking all the help I can get and trying to learn. I acquired an old '74 Catalina 27 over the winter. Been working on her all spring and now have been out a few times with the wife and young daughter. We would like to install...
I'm looking for a marina I can store my 30 ft O'day sailboat "on the hard" with mast "up", who can also drop (wet slip) and pick on occasions (three, four, five times a year) when I would travel from Illinois to Fl to do some intercoastal sailing.
I'm not stuck on any particular area, however...
I am a writer and I am researching information about the 440. I know nothing about sailing and in my book I have my character crashing into the jetty at Garden City, SC
What I would like to know is how fast do they go?
Is it a wooden hull or fiberglas?
What kind of engine?
You can contact me...

Can anyone share the OEM Propane Cooking stove model that Ericson used ? Hull #305. I am trying to put her back to original unless parts are improve someway. Technology and safety are important.
The past owner ditched the stove for an aftermarket backyard refrigerator. Ericson for the most part...
I know that pulling sheets and boat maintenance is hard work and will keep you in shape. But much of the time we are in a port (as now, waiting for hurricane season to pass) so what do I do for exercise? I do AERIAL SILK!
Check it what I do to stay in shape (at 56) and come watch me fly sometime...
Hello,
New to the forum, I am interested in buying this boat from a distance and I am not sure what the brand is. Can anyone identify this boat from the pictures? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
I have zero experience with boats and I am desperate to learn sailing. My future plans involve sailing abroad. I was originally looking at very small sailboats to learn on, but read a few times that these boats are just as easy to handle. Would anyone be willing to advise...
Hello everyone,
My name is Jay. I am getting ready to pick up a sailboat which I am acquiring for free. Here’s what I know:
It’s a Macgregor...... Venture 25?
The mast, main, and jib are all there. As well as all the rigging. (I sure hope I’m getting all these terms correct)
It’s on the...
Hello, first I want to introduce myself. I am in college and I have been wanting to sail ever since I did it down in the Florida Keys. I recently bought a V22 for a good price. It needs a little work but the sails are in good shape. I plan to repaint the hull (don't like the color), replace...
