I think the VHF is more likely to be put to good use than the cheese.

handheld VHF


I have one already.

new main sail


I have one already and a new jib to boot.

brass oil lamp


I have one already.

dock lines


I have no use for dock lines - those are for lubbers.

140% RF genny


Only a fool would want one of those.

fiddle block w/cleat for main sheet


I have one already.

sunglasses


I have REVOs. And I have Ray Bans - Both pairs cost over 200 bucks each.

case of squirty cheese


Trailer park trash food.

3 blade feathering prop


My three blade prop causes no drag because it is out of the water
completely when I'm sailing.

new chart for Chess. Bay


Why? I have one of those and never use it. Who even wants
to sail that ugly, polluted body of water.

Scotty,

As a suggestion, forget about the 3-Bladed Prop. for your boat. A
2-blade folding is really all your boat can really handle. That 3-Blade
will make backing in anything but a circle impossible.

Leave the three Blades to the crab crushers. Your boat doesn't have
enough wetted surface.

fiddle block w/cleat for main sheet

For your operating pleasure do a Harken ratcheting fiddle for the mainsheet.
You can ease the main in a breeze without setting your hand on fire.
S/V Express 30 "Ringmaster"
Trains are a winter sport

Hey Simian,

New Main; If you do a normal amount of sailing, with those Hong Kong
bargains you'll be asking for new sails by next Christmas

Docking Lines;

If you had a proper Yacht with fuel tanks, a proper Head/ holding tank,
If you ever sailed up to a Yacht Club Dock you might stand a chance for
that hot babe in the V-berth; but you would need docking lines to do
those things

Fiddle Block/ cleat for Main Sheet

Isn't that how you got that customG shaped Boom?

Sunglasses

I have two pair of Sunglasses Smoked and Amber that are the equal of
yours and both pair cost me $22.00
Scotty, I'd like to suggest you go the your Eye Doctor and check
out the SUN SHIELD glasses. They are funky looking but are the equal of
the expencive models plus the are equipped with side shields

Why? ...... Prop walk???

I've got a two bladed folding prop which sits in the garage because it
really wasn't much use. It doesn't have any "grip" and it won't push the
boat along at more than 4 kts in any sort of chop.

Before reading your post, I had assumed that a three bladed folding prop
would be much better.



Regards


Donal
