This story seems to indicate an abundance of stupidity at fault, not the Ipad. The Ipad or android tablet etc, does not need wi-fi connection to give an accurate position on a downloaded electronic vector or raster chart anymore than a dedicated plotter does. An Ipad or dedicated plotter is *not*

My exterior teak has nothing but the occasional squirt with a hose for the 20 years or so. I used to oil it, but it wore off or turned black so quick I gave up on it. I finally have decided to work on it, I have one teak rail home for sanding. I think sealing with thinned epoxy might be a good

That stuff is not formulated for use on wood, or over Cetol! Being a two-part urethane, it will also be a major job to strip off when it fails. My thought is that it is just asking for trouble. I looked up Chroma Clear. It is an industrial finish that is only sold to professionals and requires

Although it probably won’t stow on the foredeck as well as a roll-up, I recently got a good deal on a Mercury fiberglass RIB from Defender. They still have a few of the Hypalon 2015 versions left at $1895.00: http://www.defender.com/product3.jsp?path=-1%7C215570%7C1794282%7C1794293=3227587

I'm at the age where motor light-weight is more important to me than dink speed. I picked up two used Johnson/Evinrude 2 cycle 1.2HP(!) motors (~$300 each, often advertised as 2HP), and love the 28 lbs lift up to the rail. They're fast enough for patient dinking on a 10" inflatable and an 8'

Putting anything on top of Cetol sort of defeats its main advantage. Cetol breathes, which is beneficial to the wood, and maintenance is easy because a quick scrub with plain water and a 3M kitchen scrubby is all the prep work usually required to add a fresh coat or two when needed. The slight

Our boatyard manager (graduate of Great Lakes School of Wooden Boatbuilding) told me Cetol should be coated with at least 2 coats of Captain's Varnish (or similar?). Says Cetol finish by itself is too soft for his liking. Has worked great for me... *Chuck Saur* (517)-490-5926
