Yeah, we are a sailing forum,...I'm painting my decks. -- Tom Young -- 5/16/2012, 8:09 am

This wasn't too draining for me though I worked all day on the boat... -- Westcoaster -- 5/16/2012, 7:01 pm

Here's a new sailing website I like -- Les Pendleton -- 5/16/2012, 3:58 am

That's about what I get out of it as well. -- Steve on S/V Brendon -- 5/15/2012, 8:14 pm

Signature Finish Paint -- Rich H -- 5/15/2012, 8:46 pm

Half a liter?? That's just over a pint. Not all that much really. -- Charlie Jones, S/V Tehani -- 5/15/2012, 4:55 pm

Varnish -- Don Guhr -- 5/15/2012, 1:49 pm

I haven't tried it but use some cheaper varnishes with success. -- Tom Young -- 5/15/2012, 2:13 pm

I've been using Ace Hardware brand spar varnish -- Paul D -- 5/15/2012, 2:33 pm

My Home Depot still has it. -- Al Schober -- 5/15/2012, 2:38 pm

Yes- and was seriously disappointed -- Charlie Jones, S/V Tehani -- 5/15/2012, 4:08 pm

I used to use Captains varnish, nut now I only use Epiphanes gloss... -- Todd D -- 5/15/2012, 7:54 pm

I used to use Captains, but now only use Le Tonkiois -- GeneC -- 5/16/2012, 10:08 am

I do quite a bit of varnishing that isn't on the boat -- Todd D -- 5/16/2012, 1:24 pm

Sanding priimer? Don't understand the 320 grit -- Charlie Jones, S/V Tehani -- 5/15/2012, 9:43 am

Re: 320 grit -- Al Schober -- 5/15/2012, 2:46 pm

Understand about the Brightsides (finish coats). Was surprised about the primer -- Charlie Jones, S/V Tehani -- 5/15/2012, 4:11 pm

Link 2000- another question -- Rodd L -- 5/15/2012, 7:18 am

Couple of things? -- SG -- 5/15/2012, 8:30 pm

I'd never heard of that and happy to have done so. Forgot about the solvent, WD 40...... -- Westcoaster -- 5/15/2012, 7:06 am

everything can be controlled through the battery switch -- jnorth -- 5/15/2012, 6:50 am

Been lookin' for the battery switch for 65 years.... -- Westcoaster -- 5/15/2012, 8:39 am

who are the asshats? -- Jerry Levy -- 5/15/2012, 4:46 am

This is a legal matter. Do local municipalities have jurisdiction over federal waters? -- Tom Young -- 5/15/2012, 5:04 am

"soon after she arrived, it became clear that she wasn't being tended to" -- Jerry Levy -- 5/15/2012, 6:31 am

"Last month, Mills appeared before Judge J. Russell Jackson in Newport Municipal Court " -- Tom Young -- 5/15/2012, 7:43 am

So what does this say to the rest of us? -- Larry - DH -- 5/15/2012, 8:39 am

things happen -- Jerry Levy -- 5/15/2012, 2:03 pm

6+ months is long enough to wait, IMHO -- Larry - DH -- 5/15/2012, 3:17 pm

well, if you want to talk about common sense -- Jerry Levy -- 5/15/2012, 4:26 pm

The Harbor Master isn't ruled by common sense -- Larry - DH -- 5/15/2012, 7:05 pm

what I would do -- Jerry Levy -- 5/16/2012, 4:46 am

That's asking a bit much -- Larry - DH -- 5/16/2012, 4:53 am

Also, the story said he's tried to contact the skipper -- Larry - DH -- 5/16/2012, 5:07 am

not asking too much at all -- Jerry Levy -- 5/16/2012, 5:10 am

How do you, we, or the Harbormaster "know full well"... -- Jon Eisberg -- 5/16/2012, 4:42 am

there's no reason to think she'd sink -- Jerry Levy -- 5/16/2012, 4:57 am

I suppose you're right... -- Jon Eisberg -- 5/16/2012, 5:22 am

that's just damaged fairing -- Jerry Levy -- 5/16/2012, 5:33 am

There's enough reason to believe every unattended boat is sinking at anchor Jerry. -- Tom Young -- 5/16/2012, 7:40 am

Sooner or later -- Paul D -- 5/16/2012, 7:47 am

yep, there's the same reason to think that EVERY boat in the water -- Jerry Levy -- 5/16/2012, 8:10 am

Absolutely! A boat left unattended on a mooring all season is irresponsible. -- Tom Young -- 5/16/2012, 8:11 am

It's not even a US flagged vessel? -- SG -- 5/15/2012, 3:42 pm

Jon is just trying to build the hype -- D'Arcy, Islay Mist C&C27 -- 5/15/2012, 5:52 am

...yeah, Jon wants it alright. -- Ron Chappell -- 5/15/2012, 6:16 am

she IS an impressive boat -- Jerry Levy -- 5/15/2012, 6:34 am

I met the skipper ... -- jnorth -- 5/15/2012, 6:40 am

you say that as if -- Jerry Levy -- 5/15/2012, 2:07 pm

he was weird even for the Newport cruising crowd.... -- jnorth -- 5/15/2012, 8:15 pm

I think that's an exageration about unusual weirdness being the norm. -- SG -- 5/15/2012, 8:40 pm

you are damaging my reputation -- Jerry Levy -- 5/16/2012, 5:19 am

At what point might your view change...? -- Jon Eisberg -- 5/16/2012, 5:56 am

my expectation -- Jerry Levy -- 5/16/2012, 6:37 am

CHA CHA isn't listed as a US Flagged Vessel -- SG -- 5/16/2012, 6:31 am

Newport harbormaster -- jnorth -- 5/16/2012, 6:35 am

;^)))) in RI they take that shit seriously! -- SG -- 5/16/2012, 8:11 am

Homeport on her transom, at least after being towed into Bermuda... -- Jon Eisberg -- 5/16/2012, 6:42 am

LOL! Ahh, if she were only 5 feet shorter... -- Jon Eisberg -- 5/16/2012, 7:05 am

You fly your own warning flags... wow I am impressed. -- GeneC -- 5/16/2012, 12:07 pm

Jon, you will obviously need to buy a bigger house with more waterfront. -- D'Arcy, Islay Mist C&C27 -- 5/16/2012, 1:54 pm

The XAR -- Maine Sail -- 5/15/2012, 3:16 am

I thought I had the "Balmar" or (what became the) XAR -- SG -- 5/15/2012, 4:56 am

The Heart Ideal Regulator -- Maine Sail -- 5/15/2012, 5:19 am

my system is just as you describe... -- jnorth -- 5/15/2012, 6:44 am
