Re: Deck gel-coat crazing
First question I would ask, is there any moisture under the crazing? If not it is cosmetic, imho. In which case I would clean and wax it regularly. If there is a moisture content that concerns you, then you will want to seal it. But first, consider coring below the crazing to eliminate most of the m...

Re: Adlour Barbour Refrigeration on Hoyt F32
A couple of things I know... one... I am an extremely late add to this subject. two... I am not an expert on insulation. With that said, the products collectively called reflective insulation or Reflectix evidently have a terrible record of testing well below the manufacturer's R value claims. R val...

Re: Huyt 32 tender
"have you tried anything else before settling on the portaboat?" No, it is the first and only tender used. Mostly, I day-sail without the tender from a dock. When over-nighting I have only towed it. The extra benefit of folding/storing it on the deck have not been used yet, but it will be next year....

Re: Huyt 32 tender
I chose the 8' Porta Bote and teamed it up with a Nissan 3.5. Both are an easy store and manageable.
It won't take the football team water skiing, but it serves me well.

Re: 1985 Hoyt Freedom 32 for sale
As a proponent of full disclosure, it appears this boat is or has been in charter service. That, in itself is NOT a negative... because being professionally maintained is the key. Most of us do not have a pro at hand. Looks great too.

Re: climbing your unstayed carbon mast, your experience?
Replaced my mast head wind cups last fall. Used a borrowed harness attached to the main halyard. While I was being cranked up, an internal snap in the winch gave moment for pause but all was well. Turned out a spring broke in the winch, but after 30 years it was time to rebuild the winches anyway. B...

Re: Cabin Air Dryers
I know what you mean! I am buying into this description from one of the companies.
