First, make sure whatever inflatable you buy has thermowelded seams. I
think all of them should be that way now. Don't buy glued seams. I had
one of those. The bottom fell out one day on the way to the beach.

I wish I could do that. Touche' has a rod back stay. Probably due to the
fact that it had a Hood SeaFoil fore stay when I purchased the boat.
For the younger folks, a Hood Seafoil was essentially a fairly large rod
with two grooves. Basically a rod version of a Tuff Luff. So rod opposed
rod.
We had this discussion many years ago on this list.
I think I recall that this is tension (in pounds) on the wire/rod. I think
the reading on a hydraulic back stay adjuster gauge is pressure (in psi) on
the piston. If so, they are not the same.

I'm hearing that you tried to furl from 2/3 rolled out? If so, most likely
scenario (barring some sort of halyard wrap) was that your furling line was
loosely wrapped in the drum as soon as you unfurled then tightened up as
you sailed with the furling line cleated. What probably happened is you
again.

I'm sure most of us have a story (or two) about a boat related decision we
made that we wish we'd done differently. Many of them probably involve
"cheaping it" or doing something in haste. Some are painful; some are just
lingering "shoulda woulda's".
One of my "lingering" ones is having my
Adding a deck fitting and a shorter?? run of hose may be easier and less
aggravating than the Y-valve option.
I wouldn't think twice about adding a deck fitting. Been there, done
that. If you have a nice clear location in a nearby cabinet, punch the
hole, epoxy coat any balsa core, overbore and
Not using epoxy with matte is also more desirable if you're finishing with
gelcoat. Not sure how some of the newer epoxies that cure without an amine
blush would work with matte. I haven't tried them.
Vinylester resin is sometimes intimidating to DIYers because of the mix

Most, if not all, the negative comments are directed at the CruisAir
portable units. You're talking about the Coleman Roughneck AC unit.
That's got quite a bit more BTU cooling than the small CruisAir portables.
Give it a shot. Let us know how it works.
Just make sure you've got
An installed marine AC is sooo much better than the portable hatch units.
When I bought Touche' in 1999 it had a water cooled box air conditioner in
the hanging locker. I quickly replaced it with a Mermaid 16 KBTU AC/heat
unit. That worked well until the water intake got plugged and the poorly

I've done a few deck peels. Years ago I documented a deck peel on the
cockpit of a runabout. While not exactly the same, the repair is very
similar. Here's a link to the pics and a Word document describing the
process.

Again,
Use a vibrating saw to cut the deck outside the damaged core. Follow a
nonskid seam if possible.
Peel the deck skin up with a thin flexible putty knife. Leave a 1 inch or
so ledge around the outside when removing the damaged core. After the core
repair, you can replace the deck skin on this

What do the mounts look like? Most engine mounts bolt down to a rail and
have a single stud pointing up that the engine slides down on. You may
find it easier to unbolt from the rail and slide the engine forward rather
than unbolt the vertical stud and try to lift it off. Be sure to mark

Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions. Each and

We've only flown the 1.5 oz spinnaker on Touche' twice. To say the least
it's exhilarating.
Back in the early 2000's when we were racing the boat hard, we were in a
regatta on the Gulf Coast. On Saturday with two windward/leeward twice
around races scheduled, it was blowing in the high teens to
