Good advice for diving on boat. Plus: we wear an old pair of sailing gloves to protect from barnacles. I keep a bucket w the tools, hanging over the side, just touching the water, so I can get what I need from the water. Sponges, pieces of carpet, 3M sponge, Lanyards on a putty knife, wood chis

David, You are right about the new wetsuit material being stretchier. I used to be heavy into windsurfing too. I've been reading about wetsuits: http://www.wetsuitwearhouse.com/wetsuitinfo/ Chuck Resolute 1990 C&C 34R Broad Creek, Magothy River, Md - Original Message - From: "Da

Bob, I have Micron 66 on my boat. It did a wonderful job in salt water of Jersey but isn't designed for brackish water of the Chesapeake. Interlux recs CSC for there. I intend to switch on my next haulout, and may try a hard, scrubable, multi-season, water based, paint for environmental reasons

Kevin, I had the same problem with my newer EV100 this summer. The screw that the lever pivots on was loose. Tightened it up and all was ok. Good luck.___ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album Email address: CnC-List@cnc-list.com To change your l

Chuck, I've used CSC for a number of years now. Initially, it worked great, but the last two paint jobs have given me very poor results. I think they've changed the formula. Anecdotally, my diver recommends a Petit product, can't remember which, but I'll find out before my next haulout, and real
