Hey Mark Another thing to consider is how deep your ladder goes into the water - if there aren't a couple of rungs below the surface you may find it impossible to haul yourself out if tired or frozen. We have a lifesling on the back and a 4:1 tackle ready to go if someone needs to be hauled out

I’m actually surprised that no one has suggested just getting the self tailing conversion kits for your Barient 28s that are supplied by Winchmate. http://www.winchmate.com/tech_specs.html That way you don’t need to worry about the mounting holes (though proper bedding of the winches with

Correction: many BRDs did inflate NOT when they jumped into the pool The harness can be separate in which case you can go with the inexpensive manual inflate vest. Bear in mind that many auto-inflates won't, when you need them (unless they are prudently checked). I say this because the racing

Re: Stus-List PFD/life vest

Hi Mark, Considering your situation "4 kids on the boat" you absolutely need a harness & crotch strap and some kind of rigging already handy. You can talk the kids through a recovery but there is no way they will get you aboard in time (before hypothermia) if you don't have all the pieces in

Re: Stus-List Wind Storm Damaged Genoa

Hi Peter, Try to get the sail over to Dennis at North sails, Richmond loft. They are wizards with older sail repairs & recuts. I had a light 150 that got R & R for less than $150. It was a good expenditure for me 'cause I seldom use that sail. I find the UK lads quite pricey on repairs, but

Re: Stus-List Winch replacement, holes, etc.

Read somewhere that the Barient model number relates to a designed line load. 28 equates to 2800# line load. The winches were improved over time (80's) with better roller bearings and made stronger so that the load ratings became higher than their model number. Barient's catalog of 1986 is on St

Re: Stus-List Wind Storm Damaged Genoa

Peter, I can understand that you want to keep your old sail, but if you replace, it does not need to cost $2500, unless you go for some exotic materials. I replaced two sails (27 ft boat) for under $2000 this fall. The radial cut furling jib 135 was around $1k. Sorry, but I would not spend $500 fo

Re: Stus-List PFD/life vest

I always wear a vest - it's one of the few good habits I have. For coastal during the day, I wouldn't worry about the harness as they just add bulk. Find the lightest certified vest you can - the cheaper ones are frequently lighter. It won't keep you on board, will provide some flotation unt

Re: Stus-List Wind Storm Damaged Genoa

Gotta go with most others on this one - they're fixing the sail less your deductible. Sounds like they are holding up their end of the bargain. Lots of insurance companies out there. I'm sure someone will write the coverage you want (no deductible, replacement value, etc) - at a price. John

Perhaps they should simply consider the sail damaged beyond repair and offer you the depreciated value less your deductible. That would likely leave you with a damaged sail and next to no cash. Rich > On Dec 28, 2013, at 4:34, "Peter Fell" wrote: > > From my point of view it is what is consi

Stus-List Has Mexico jumped the shark - NOW importance of HIN

One of my takeaways from the Mexico story is that you need a visible HIN. About 2 or 3 owners ago, the transom underwent serious rebuild repairs and the HIN was covered up. I'm wondering now, if I ever take the boat out of Canadian waters, if that could contribute to a documentation problem.
