I was a masochist. I must confess that I owned and loved British cars in my misspent youth (lots of spents, little income). MG's of various types, an autocross prepped Healy Sprite, a Jaguar 3.8S sedan. Thought I had wisely outgrown all that. But in my latter years, as my memory (including...

Nice looking Lab.

We IGs are scattered all over.

Here you go Eric. We used their paints for years on our old 40' wood boat. Great traditional enamel. And if anyone needs some white lead for canvas bedding, I still have some from Kirby. https://kirbypaint.com/

Just pray you don't get polyester mites.

Yes indeed!

Hydrive system. Upper and lower helms. Auto pilot. Loss of fluid noticeable at upper helm. Refilling with a couple of syringe squirts daily. Some minor dribble from upper helm seals but not enough to explain the loss. No sign of leaks anywhere when tracing all the hydraulic lines. But there must...

"Sea Fox" seen at the Eggemoggin Reach Regatta Brooklin, ME, yesterday. Lots of gorgeous classic sail boats but this is Trawler Forum.

We have seen it before, but I'm too lazy to search for the thread.

Welcome aboard.

I did mine (all by hand, groan :banghead:) a few years back. I was advised to use an aluminum primer as a tie coat, which I did. So far, so good.

I enjoy a few days without my wife (as can she without me), whether on the boat or wherever.

Stink from hot water tank? When was the anode last changed?

Sometimes I lapse into grammar/pedantic mode. Sorry. Apologies.

Had the GPS, tide/date, issue this spring after launch for the season with our Garmin 17x GPS antenna, GPSMap 4208 and 4210. 1999 dates showing. Installed latest legacy software. Didn't solve the problem and actually made it worse as the GPS 17x then would not show as a Garmin device, chart...
