How many have I done....and won?
This time with some new decorators and participants!
Resolution, Catalina 27, looked fabulous. She won first place in the sailboat category. a first time category for Boating Lake Mead, who runs the event. There were 2 other sailboats.
Conditions were pretty hairy with some winds and no full moon.
See ya next year!

    <------ is Josh, but shhhh. I advised Rachel to sandblast her rudder, she obviously didn't listen. With a 100+ psi compressor, and a sandblasting gun, Rachel could've finished it in 5 minutes. Instead, being a Sagittarius, and stubborn, she spent 3 hours and 19 minutes and 15 discs at $3.50 each.

    Can the tailer be located around the circle in any of four places or is there only one place it goes when reassembling? I mounted my winch and the tailer isn't pointed where I want it to be.

  • @benkanobe7500
    @benkanobe7500 6 місяців тому

    Can a non-self tailing winch that is just like your self-tailing be upgraded to self-tailing easily and is there a kit (Lewmar 14 or Lewmar 16)?

    • @TheDesertSailor

    Hey is there a reason all didn't install matching coax connectors? Just curious ...perhaps you wanted it smooth. Just seems strange after spending money on the cable why not connect properly. That's not to say your solution won't work great but just seems if your worried about the coax separating then why not. Just saying;) otherwise nice job

    Thank you, Naomi, for an excellent video. I am learning to back my 1965 Pearson Ariel 26 after adding a transom-mounted outboard when the inboard engine died. I'm finding that backing out steering with the outboard, then after the sometimes tricky transition from reverse to stop to forward, switching to the tiller seems to give the most predictable result with the full keel Ariel. I also appreciate the comments. It's comforting to know there are so many of us learning how to get along with our boats.

    • @TheDesertSailor
      @TheDesertSailor 9 місяців тому

      It's all about finding what works for you! Thanks for the comment!

  • @scomo532
    @scomo532 10 місяців тому

    This is good advice if your OB is mounted in a well such as is the case here. However, I have found that when my OB was secured to the boat on a transom OB mount, it was easier to maneuver the boat by steering her with the OB while holding the tiller amidships. That way you can use the thrust of the OB to quickly and accurately pivot the boat. Once you get use to it, you can use a combination of OB and tiller to maneuver the boat and impress yourself and others with your boat handling skills.

    • @TheDesertSailor
      @TheDesertSailor 9 місяців тому

      It's so true! Sometimes one is hanging way over the transom! And gear shifting and steering is easier done with anchored tiller and moving outboard directly. Whatever works! Sometimes I use both in parallel in really tight turns.

    I'm about to have to replace the antenna and possibly cable on our Irwin 38 that just got hit by lightning. Which antenna did you get and how long was the cable you put in? Did you cut/splice it or have to use any extensions or was it the right length to go to your equipment? Oh, and just curious, what do you use the block(s) on the back side of the mast on that screwed-in bracket for? Thanks!
