Hello Moby, When installing the port back on the boat, is it better to caulk the boat and place the port in, or caulk the frame side and install? Might be...
... Should not make any difference at all, unless you're too long after applying and the caulk is skinned over, in which case it won't stick so well no matter...
Tom, The link wrapped and only half of it was highlighted. I had the same experience. Copy entire link and then open. I had to do it in two halves -- the...
... Generally a caulking gun is easier to lay down a nice even bead, especially on a T26 with the long windows (5 feet long, plus the height is about 11 foot...
FYI - A few of us are getting together on Sunday 12/12 in Milford, CT area for drinks and food. If interested in joining, please let me know as we have not...
... I put it on the fiberglass, or the port will act like buttered bread..... However you do it, tape where you don't want caulk, as you do with paint. Saves...
The seal is the same whether you apply the sealant to boat or window BUT it is sure a lot easier to apply a nice even bead around the window laid out flat than...

I've got one last question before I take the jump and purchase new sails. What is the maximum size for furling genoa on a T26? I've got an old "lapper" on my...

... Owner of a local chandlery advise strongly against using a winch to furl. He claimed it makes it easy to damage the furler or headstay. Also advised never...
I'd be interested in seeing them. Regards, Bill T22 #414 ... From: "Steve Grimes" <stepheng58@...> To: <tanzer@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Thursday, December...
I have a 145% genoa on my 7.5 and it does the job nicely. You can get away with about 3o% furled but after that the sail gets too baggy. If going out in...
... Will - I agree with Kent on this one. I also purchased a T26 with a 150% (I think) this year. I usually sail solo and, so far, have had no problems...
There is sail repair tape available. I have one of every size headsail but if I had to pick just one it would likely about 130 to 140 in size, a 140 if I was...
... Hello, Is there still sailing going on over there? if so, does anyone need an extra hand on board on weekends? I own a T-7.5 sailing three years. very...

... Yes, for temporary repairs. Stitching works better long-term. I keep both light nylon (for chute) and heavier tape onboard. Put tape on both sides, BTW. --...

... The other part for me, is while I'm furling, the sheet is generally still around the winch, not just being held in my hand. I'll assume by jib 'leads' you...

Just because I'm curious here, has anyone ever used a product named GOOP on those portlights? I have two stories to go with this: 1. I have an RV since 1986,...
