Absolutely possible! Two weeks ago in the Gulfport Pensacola Race we had a ~1 knot favorable current. The wind was only 1-4 knots. Our speed through the water was as low as 1.5 knots. Had the current been the other way, we were prepared to anchor and wait for more wind. In years past, boats

Re: Stus-List Autopilot Update

Edd — the Octopus drives only have about eight moving parts, so there’s not a lot that can fail on them. This is an older Octopus drive, right? Maybe it would be worth sending it to them for diagnosis and possible repair/refurb. Also, have you checked voltage at the solenoid and drive leads

Re: Stus-List Forestay Stem Fitting / Chainplate Replacement

I agree with Josh, that is just iron deposited from an unfortunate incident. Sand it off, and go to a grit you are happy with, and soak it with something acidic to remove surface iron, a poor man's passivation. You can then polish it if you like. I am sure it is fine. Bill Coleman C 39

I would try to sand/polish the plate clean and smooth before moving forward. Work from 200 grit all the way up to 1000 or 2000 and then hand polish. You'll be amazed at how much more you can tell about the area of concern. It could just be a place where a steel cable deposited iron in the metal
