I have owned # 494 since 1976. It's still in great shape and going strong!

My 28 year old mainsail is real tired. Looking for a retired one that is a bit newer

... flying on a pole rather than the foredeck. I'm sure yours is cut for the foredeck, so basically you'll sail it similar to a big genoa, but with a bit less halyard tension. You can raise the halyard full up to the top, then ease the foreguy to get the right shape and keep the sail up high. Since ...

... (you can use something like SJ24NET to keep it simple and obvious). You might have to create another yahoo I.D. to do it... play around with it a bit and see if you can use the same email for both, or maybe use another existing email address like admin@sj24.net or something. The search feature ...

Hi everyone, I just stumbled across this site. I remember some of the names from the SJ24 yahoo group. Glad to see something a bit more useful than yahoo at last

Thanks for the site Alex!

it is yellow (of course) with a black mast....last row next to the green boathouses....half way down....160 ish head sail.....so we may be able to point a bit better and race a bit...>

Well, it was a blazing success (no pun intended, Kevin) I was running a bit late Saturday, so in spite of perfect sailing conditions from Manchester to Blake Island, we motored across. I felt I had a responsibility to at least show up at some reasonable hour ...

Was a bit late yesterday (15:00), but finally made it. A guy on a Catalina 22 came up with a clever way to get the growth (Mussels, Seaweed, etc.) off my hull... Stretched a piece of 1/8" line under the boat starting at the bow ...

... of the breakwater, but I'd spend a little more and go inside to avoid the wakes of the foot ferry. Bremerton probably has similar rates, but is a bit farther to drive. Very close over water though. Port Orchard & Bremerton Marinas Websites: http://www.portofbremerton.org/default.asp?ID=25 ...

So far I have no confirmations, so I am going to adjust my own level of commitment just a bit. I will be changing my Friday attendance to "Probaby-Maybe" I'm bailing on the potluck idea... couldn't get a picnic area reservation for Saturday and no one else has comitted ...

... post images, files, etc. But I would suggest to resize pictures and set higher jpeg compression rate. 1600 x 1200 and 0.5MB is probably a little bit too much :) People will slower access and less than 20" monitor could be unhappy. Thank you for all your advices regarding the compass repair, when ...

... won't get their "stuff" together and build a decent search engine for their forums (groups). Mark, I did notice today that Yahoo's search is a bit more usable than last time I tried it. It still won't globally search the whole group in one operation, but at least you no longer have to manually ...

I have seen people row bigger boats then the San Juans (26-28’, full keel, plywood), that weighed a fair bit more, they used a couple of white water rafting oars that they could collapse for storage, I still haven't tried this, but I plan on doing it sometime in the near future. ...

... but it just wasn't reliable epoxied to the inside of the hull. This was my first trailer haulout and it went quite well. My keel guides need a wee bit of modification, but otherwise the trailer works well.
