    This is the most intelligent answer. how often does the depth of where you anchor change drastically? In SF Bay for 33 years it would...

    I'd sail that mast as is, except I'd probably fill the holes. It's not like water can't easily come into the mast from aloft, but bees...

    Mighty impressive that they can make that determination w/o a moisture meter. I'm sure you'll be fine, but keep an eye on them, as you said.

    4200 is probably overkill and will make removing the fittings more difficult. I prefer pipe dope over teflon tape because it is easier...

    I cut one inch wide and 7 inch long srtips from a tired sail that I retired. I weave them through the strands of the rode and mark the...

    These are the new……. The one with green is a valve I replaced 2 years ago. All on the outside. Value and inner are like new.
