Greetings All,
For those of us who cringe at the price of sails and know how to sew check
out www.sailrite.com you can buy kits for about half the price of a new sail
and all you do is give them the measurements for a vega (found in manual)
they send it precut and you stitch it together. I havent used them yet but
will when I go to get a storm sail. I was referred to them from my father
who ordered his 150 from them.
IRT the Chesapeake rendezous still working on it. Unfortunately I dropped
my cell phone overboard just before I went on patrol so I havent gotten past
picking the general area (Solomons Island, MD). Dave Fuchs if you can check
out which marinas have a few transient slips available or possibly suggest
areas for an anchorage/rafting up. I'll be gone again from late may till
first week in aug. I'll get jpeg chartlets made up this coming week. And
email to any who request one.
Sorry for the delay guys,
