Hi: I am usually a lurker but read all my digests. Naga is a Com-pac 27 and I did not change her name although I did go through a cleansing ceremony when I...
Sleeping crossways works for me! I've done it on Epiphany, in the v-berth at anchor, and in the cockpit, across the bridgedeck, while offshore. That way you...

Hey Craig: I am moored in Galveston. Just sail past the ferries and the jetties and I am in the gulf. It has been so nice here these last few years as I have...
Ok, for the sake of sounding verbose or repetitive, i'll try this again, as Darrell did. Any suggestions on the [slightly] kinked rigging ??? Darrell, glad you...
I don't think most of us on the forum are willing to make a decision sight unseen. If it's on a smaller boat, ie. 19/23 I wouldn't worry about it. The tension...
