I think there’s a picture of this boat hanging in the bathroom of Paul Dennis’s shop. I’ve been looking at the picture for years, and then I saw you mention that you have hull #2.

Re: Profile to F21 lifting rudder
Oh yeah, I was wondering that when I saw your posts about it.
Don’t worry, I was down there on Sunday and it’s still there. The hardware isn’t on it, but I think Paul removed it and put it aside when he scrapped the boat.

Re: Support Paul Dennis
Here here. Paul is an endless source of knowledge, and being able to benefit from his decades of experience has been invaluable for me. While I’ve had him do a good amount of work over the years, what I’ve learned from him has allowed me to make a ton of really substantial improvements and repairs m...

Re: 40/40 Vang attachment slides?
I don't think it's supposed to slide. Do you see any holes for fasteners in the sliding piece that would fix it in place? Or any holes in the track on the boom? When I replaced my vang, I had to affix the new under-boom fitting to the boom. Finding the correct location in the track was a bit tricky....

Re: Alternative to an Edson Wheel Cover???
I’ve done two now, a 32” and a 40”, both from kits made by a guy in Seattle. I think it was boatleather.com. A very satisfying experience, and a high quality product.
Probably not cheaper than Edson’s kit, but higher quality in my opinion.

Re: OMG he is talking about the camberspar again and needs help
Hey Mike, A few things: 1. Paul tells me that according to Dave Bierig, Freedom used tubing that was a size smaller than what he had spec'd. He's not sure why. The camberspar that came with my first Freedom had a quite severe curve in it, and I think that that has to do with the lighter duty tube be...

Re: Prop Suggestions for 28M
One other advantage that came to me about the max prop is the outstanding performance in reverse. The blades go into a much more optimal position when reversing than a fixed prop, and the result is that you can really feel it bite when backing down. A couple seasons ago I was operating a friend's F3...

Re: Prop Suggestions for 28M
If I were you, I'd stick with the Maxprop. It's a really great device, as long as it's properly greased every year. You might want to check with PYI about what the pitch setting should be, and then confirm that that's what you have. They are very responsive. As far as fighting the current goes, it m...

I believe that's a MaxProp.

Re: F40-40 how many were made?
Mark is still around, he helped me buy my boat! I believe he's still at Cape Yachts in South Dartmouth, you should give him a call.
