We have the Hypervent under our mattress which was put in by the PO. Seems to work well, no sign of mold when we had it up north.

Yes, the designer was "inspired" by the Riviera layout. I'd like to think they took those and made a better version in terms of the quality of the finished product. Not that there is anything wrong with a Riviera, we almost ended up with one, but the level of finish and quality of materials is...

Putting a bow on this thread... I have the freezer vent box installed and the results are good. Without the box, temperatures in the settee area were 10+ above ambient with just the freezer running. This was with the inverter located in the vicinity powering only the freezer. I suspect with...

I've been considering adding one of these. https://anchorsaver.com/ For $140 seems like a decent deal. I've known a few folks who had success with them. We have some pretty nasty rocks around the reefs I fish. Nearly lost an anchor on the Farnsworth bank on the backside of Catalina one year...

This doesn't look like traditional gelcoat cracking. Looks like it will need to stripped down to bare gelcoat, primed, sanded and painted. How much of the boat is like this? It is isolated or the whole boat?

Me three! Came out pretty nice I think and there is no way they are coming off.

All canvas guys seem busy now. I have a friend who started a canvas business a couple years ago and he is booked out 3-4 months and is charging top dollar for their work. Seems to be a good business to get into if you have some skills. He started his business with no background whatsoever and...

Interesting thread. I'm actually undertaking this on my boat as it has a very strange seating arrangement with six back-to-back seats on a big box on the FB which we really dislike. The plan is to replace this with two captain chairs (on order) in the front and build or have built an "L"...

You headed down with the Baha Haha group? I think they are leaving this week.

Lot's of good suggestions guys, thanks. Attached is a view of the cockpit. The current plan is to use a 4" vent where circled in red. This area is right above the compressor. This is right above the freezer and some warm air will end up going onto the top of the freezer, but I think it will...

I would be looking for a lot of used chain to weigh the boat down. In sections it's simple to spread out in the bilge and is fairly inexpensive.

Here are a couple pics.

Under the settee is both the 110VAC freezer compressor and the inverter charger. There is very little ventalation and I noticed during the summer it was very warm down there, enough so that I pulled the seats to let some air in. I suspect this is making the freezer work very hard to maintain...

What was the reason for Black calling them that? Seems like a pretty nasty comparison to me.

Welcome, let us know where you land in San Diego. Enjoy your new toy!

Yes, came down on a truck in May. Not a scratch on it. (Sorry for the derail)

And things are just getting worse at the port of Long Beach. A couple of weeks ago when we were in Catalina we saw about a dozen container ships between Cat and the mainland just jogging to wait to get in. Now I count about 45 of them, and that doesn't include the 60 that are in the approach...

Congrats! Looks like a beautiful boat and well maintained.

I think the demise of shop classes is going to be looked back on as a big mistake in the US education system. There are so many reasons for having occupational classes in middle and high school. I took many of them myself and was a TA as well. I saw how many kids who were lost in the STEM...

Hey Whit, welcome to the site! (lwarden AKA Inboardman) You know now you've done it, now that you've let the cat out of the bag on your background every watermaker/water problem you are going to be summoned up like the Genie from the lamp. Or like Peggie Hall (Headmistriss) get's called up...

Welcome Tom! Good luck on finding your next boat, GB 42 is a nice setup.

Just to put this whole boating thing in perspective I did a little comparison pricing of our favorite long weekend vacation of going to Catalina Island the other day, and was pretty surprised at the outcome. Before we had a boat that could make the crossing we would drive to Dana Point, take the...

We are facing a severe shortage of these little plastics molded tips for transferring liquid in biological applications called pipette tips. We go through a lot of these things internally and sold in our kits. Our long time Germain supplier said they simply could not fill orders and we were...

Now, the big question is: did you know Sperry actually made these first, or did they come up in a google search? I’m simply astounded they actually exist….

Wonder if it whistles in a cross-wind?
