Shotgun start tournaments get ugly from time to time but this is ridiculous! This was in Mexico a few days ago. Looks like the filming boat was the one to cut off boat 2 who was coming up hot. Stupid, wreckless none the less for two boats to get this close...

It took me a second....Good one!!!!

I don't know if you've seen this elsewhere but a sailboat was zapped by a huge bolt up in Boston. Someone was recording right when it happened. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gg60nwf6PuY Avenger, yep, it got pulled for some reason but you found the news clip. Thanks for posting it...

I’ve had it with the old square drive screws and bolts.now my salon door latch broke and I can’t find anything smaller than a #1 drive to get the latch mechanism out. Looks like it’s time to invent-a-tool again. Anyone know where to find a bit smaller than a #1? The depot doesn’t have anything

OMG, I HAVE to do this to my wife!! I'll report back from wherever my new apartment will be

Hi all! I have a '94 50c with a weird electrical issue that I've never experienced. There are two overhead lights on the port side of the salon that have no power and the master suite lights and outlets (starboard side) have no power. There are breakers for "port lights and outlets" and...

Hey folks! First, happy summer! Just letting you know if you are considering going to the best fireworks display you have ever seen at Dolan's house, we will be there with several boats & I just wanted to extend the invitation to raft up! I'f you've never been, this private show on the water...

Hey all.... I just installed a gorgeous pair of Murray Brothers helm chairs with 4" stainless pedestals. I've been looking for a pair of footrests but holy cow, they start around $1,200 & surpass $3k each. Pompanette makes these but again, they are $1,600 each. I can EASILY fabricate the...

I don't know if it's been on here but I just saw a really nice, completely refinished 41 on one of the salvage sites. It's listed as "private liquidation" http://www.yachtsalvage.com/Listings/YS134660.htm

A little last minute but I thought I'd toss it out there....... We are heading to Mystic & then Block Is. next week, Aug 19-24th. Anyone going to be out that way? I have a lot of "make up" cocktails to buy since I missed it all in Greenport. We actually might be back in Greenport on the 25th or...

Hey guys We are heading to Block in two weeks & have decided to leave a day early. I haven't been to Niantic since I was a kid so here's a question for ya... Is Niantic a nice place to stop with the family? What's a good marina and your thoughts on the area? My kids have friends in the area at...

Hi all... I would like to find someone who carries parts or complete replacements for my original Alpex Raineri A1173 air horns. I did a search & found someone here found a source but the AlpexUSA website is long gone. The post was from 2011. I can't find any replacements even close. My horns...

Hi All Anyone have experience with a transmission coupler on ZF gears? The small vibration turned shaking which I hoped was the cutlass after zincs slid back wasn't the issue. Looks like it's the rubber coupler or the ZF gear/trans itself. Mechanic said he would look at it next week but it...

Hi All Naturally this happens just before a big weekend for me. Looks like I burned up a cutlass bearing when a shaft zinc slid back. I thought I picked up a small piece of line on the way home over the weekend but over a 20 minute period, it turned into a big shake. The diver couldn't tell...
