Hi All, Not affiliated with nor do I know this e-bay seller. I just happened to see this mast for sale..... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hatteras-yacht-mast-/151521076036?&_trksid=p2056016.m2518.l4276

Hi All, We've had several projects underway for the last 18+ months and I thought I’d share some with you. This was all accomplished by me in damned spite of all my health issues, my mate Brendan a 24 year old physics major and at times an extra pair of hands (thanks Tony). Images will follow...

Hi All. We were hauled out yesterday and it went off without a hitch. Once she was blocked and on stands I began to inspect the undercarriage. The condition of the props surprised me. Typically they are a bit slimy over the ablative but in all other aspects just fine. Let me back up one second...

Hi All, Found this on the boat, have no idea if it works. Does anyone have any need of one ?

Hi All, We recently developed a very bad pipe chatter if the aft shower is in use and the water pump catches up to the demand and stops. Seems to happen only when the aft shower is being used, and I can stop it from happening by turning a faucet on in the fwd head or galley (this combination...

Hi All, Ran across this while poking around an antique store in northern Maine, thought some of you might find it interesting. The artisan/craftsman was Leslie Edgcomb Jr. from St. Michaels MD who passed away in 2002. The Maryland Maritime Museum has several of his works, all in the same...

Hi All, Many of you have heard me speak of my mate ("college kid") who has been so instrumental to me in keeping my Hatt in good order over the last 6 years. I've taught him a great deal about all aspects of yachting and yacht disciplines (ie, mechanical, fiberglass, bright work, etc etc. He's...

Hi All, Saw this and thought someone might be interested. They are asking $25.

Hi All, Long story so I won't burden you, well maybe with the short version. In the spring I installed new starting bank batteries (4). My mate thought it would be a good idea to use a portable engine lift to lower them into the engine room. Wasn't a bad idea. I was responsible for working...

Hi All, We moved to a new marina this year so I thought I'd post a few images. It's called Popes Island Marina and it's located in Fairhaven Mass. Some special features: - It's part of New Bedford harbor which is home to a large fishing fleet which is always interesting to watch. - As part...

Hi All, Last week, my mate was trying to push the boat off the dock to re-set a fender. The wind was blowing against him so he put both feet on the piling and his back against the helm bulkhead. Without realizing it his shoulders pushed against the stationary half of the sliding window and he...

Hi All, Check out the salty dog thread in the "everything else" section. Profile your 4 legged 1st mate.

Hi All, I thought it would be fun to profile our salty canine and feline mates. I'll start off with our Wheaton Cairn Terrier Bella, shes turning 8 in August but still has the spring, endurance and energy of a puppy. She absolutely loves the boat in every way, however she hates to swim...

Hi All, As many of you might know I purchased my passion in 2007 and enjoyed 5 wonderful seasons on her until health issues forced me to put her on the hard for 2 years. Well I'm SO happy to say we launched on 6/26 and are at a new marina (it's wonderful) called Popes Island Marina in the busy...

Hi All, .......named "Checkered Flag", home port Old Saybrook CT. Owners name WALTER DETHIER. I noticed it is docked at a New Bedford Ma marina.

Hi All, Port engine started fine on the hard. (8V71N). We splashed today and it wouldn't start. I checked the obvious and everything seems ok. Both primary and secondary racors seem full. HOWEVER, the day before we launched the canister fuel filter was accedently loosened, a small amount of...

Hi All, Splashing Thursday and forgot all about being able to steer (minor oversight) ;) No time to search archives, I know theres a lot out there on this subject, kinda flat out ! Does anyone have a link to a great thread or a write up. Hynautic tank has 45lbs of pressure and fluid shows...

Hi All, I decided to replace the primary fuel tank air vents (2) since the screens are shot. I sent a photo on to the folks at SAMS and no one recognizes them as Hatteras original parts, which I'm pretty sure they are. Anyone else run across these before ? Image from 2007 attached.

Hi All, I just noticed that my stbd sea chest thru-hull looks like its leaking around the outside of the fitting. I've watched it closely, stopped it up with a rag and It still seems to weep out a bit of water. Could someone educate me on sea chests. Another question, should a bilge pump be...
