Just ran across this website with some details and ideas for boat projects. http://www.captnpauley.com/Projects.html While we have roller furling, I was...
Thanks Jere, Don't think I actually have "real seas" experience, being a river boy. My problem was that if I didn't get the boat turned past head to wind...
One of my "trainers" suggested that when tacking through "seas" and higher winds, to hold the tack until the downward side of a wave, pull the boat through at...
Very helpful Al, thanks. I think I was waiting for near the trough which was too late. We did backwind the jib which was another critical element of making it....
the very least I can do for this list. my trainer was a certified Masters out of San Diego and we took a Capri 22 out past the break and sailed it in the...
... As counter-intuitive as it seems, my overall answer is "yes". Let your lady Tanzer find her own path, as she knows better than you what she wants. Given...
... Thanks, Kent - there's really good stuff there at `captnpauley'. Now I`m also looking for more information and ideas from `the Group'. I mostly single-hand...
Does anyone in the group have experience sculling a T22. In version 7 of Royce's sailing illustrated there is a design for a sculling oar to power a sailboat....
Please forgive me for sending a non-sailing topic but I think this may help someone out there. As we all get a little older this becomes more relevant Dave...
... The lines were already led aft onourT26, so I only made some minor tweaks. However, I did the whole think on our P23. Lucked into a couple of used Barlow...
... I ONCE tried to row my Weekender sloop (my first sailboat). I did get from the mooring to the dock, but it was a lot of work.Shortly after I bought a 1.2HP...
This weekend I tried boiling water and still could not get the aluminum tubes out of the stainless steel sockets... I think I'll need to get professional help...
Je ne comprend pas! (OK, French spelling not so grate) So why do you have the oars out at the dock? Where does the guy who beats the drum sit? Why is the mast...
... P23 had similar mast step to Tanzer. I drilled 1/4" holes in the corners to shackle on blocks. Kent "Duct tape is like the Force. It has a light side and a...
... We were making preparations to get underway for the mooring. (I would have hoisted the `Blue Peter' signal but my mast was down) also see 3) ... Near the...
I am not familiar with "Powr-Oar" but I have come across a couple of different articles: this first one, isn't so much sculling as regular rowing, on a...
Many towns in Eastern China are known as "water towns" because of the extensive canal systems running through them, most of then installed centuries ago. The...
I ecommend a call to these folks. They make oars to order and I bet will be glad to build one to your specs. I just received a beautiful pair of spruce...

boiling water probably wont work, aluminum will conduct heat better than stainless and expand faster so probably seat tighter. Rick suggested penetrating oil,...

Hi Michael, Johann is still a member of the Tanzer Class Association and a member of a local club here in the Montreal area. His son is designing the (very...
Thanks for that Ralph. I failed to realize that you were referring to class races where all the entrants are Tanzers of the same breed, so I understand that...
I asked this same question a year ago, with similar replies. I still intend to try sculling my T22, but it's on my like-to-do list not on my have-to-do list,...
