_Fresh Water Fishes of CHina_?????Rare???? The book or freshwater fish in
China? $299.00????You're a really weird dude, Bobby....

Katy, Most of my Chapman collection is sold. The last two books sold for over
1500. You might want to do a google search on Roy Chapman Andrews, not that I'd
expect you to have any science history in your background.

On some boats they look good, and perform a needed function, on other boats
it looks like the owner is simply buying all the 'bolt on' crap he can
afford.

We had a dodger on the O'Day...hated the thing and don't have one on
Chantuese...they impede vision, create drag, and make a further deck
hazard....we decided foulies and ski goggles work just as well and since
the
slide hatch keeps out the weather from the companionway, there was no
need.
You have to remember, though, that Bob has to have one to protect all that
fair skin of the alien ladies he entertains....

I noticed in several of your pics that the radar is angled up 5 or 10 degrees.
You should correct this because the beam width on that unit is only 12.5 degrees
below horizontal. If you bow comes up a few degrees (as in, when powering) you
won't see anything ahead except low flying aircraft.

Hope all of you are enjoying this season, which has started off nicely here.
Sunday had some flukey air, but plenty of it.

Here's Alien with her new dodger. She also has a lot of new hardware not

Yup. We will adjust this on the weekend.

Kate,

It's not the Fish that are rare in China, it's the FRESH WATER!!

Don't know about Lake Michigan, the prevailing winds and orientation might
mean they get some bigger waves up there, but on Lake Erie, you might need a
dodger once in a blue moon. I would imagine the same goes for LIS. Now a
bimini, otoh, would be fairly useful just about anywhere.

Yup, might get a bimini one of these days. I realize the benefits of a
dodger, I just don't like the look (on a small boat).

What with the way the dodger attaches to the side looks like it is not
snug to the combing, like it sticks out a few inches on the side and
is a trip hazard?

I like the look of the window being all clear, many doger have to
much canvas trim. Looks ok

I'm going to have to look into buying Oars wholesale and listing them
to give you competation.

You need to get up to 2 solid pages of listings to steadly make real
money!

Nice Books BTW. Amazed me! I sold a 12 page steam engine book that I
bought for 1.00 for 375.00 on ebay.

You're right to a degree, but it seems to be pretty snug, maybe a bit under an
inch of play at the top of the coaming. I could add one more fastner easily.
Everyone likes it so far and it's not too tall. I'll add a new pic for a
profile view. I think the designer did a good job keeping in with the lines of
the boat. In just one week, two other sailboats saw it and wanted his number.
He's more expensive than Doyle or UK though. But at least it's not a cookie
cutter dodger like the ones I usually see.
Today I'm installing a Wempe Barometer, Hydrometer and clock. all matching
brass instruments with opening bezzles.
