Alien has had a 2nd Xmas this year with my Ebay sideline and boat sales....
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 pictured. http://hometown.aol.com/bobsprit/images/al3.jpg More items added to ebay for sailors all the time at: http://tinyurl.com/2gmu3 Glad to see that my name carries on with imposters, lame as they are! Take care and good luck with the trolling, Robert B Alien C&C 32 City Island, NY |

Whew... only 57 transactions and already negative and neutral
feedback. Not much has changed. Welcome back, BTW. Some of these people are pikers compared to you and Nelly. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com "Bobsprit" wrote in message ...

Good to hear from you again Bob... looks like you are doing well on ebay.
I take it Alien is launched and this is a recent photo?

Nice Picture Nutsy,
Does bring up a question from the past.What's happened to the shackles on the cleats? Question 2; Why are your sheets extended so far back, in the furled condition? Are your Jib sheet cars that far back or have you removed them? I can't see them in the picture. Ole Thom P/S Dodger looks OK. Should extend your sailing quite a bit. How Susy? |

Ole Thom
P/S Dodger looks OK. Should extend your sailing quite a bit. How Susy? Suzy is 20 weeks now. Everything seems fine. Comprehensive Ultrasound is this week, but we already learned it's a boy! The pic of Alien was shot just after getting the sails on, so she's not ready to sail there...we sailed the following day and got it all tuned! The dodger was an instant hit with the girls, especially when we hit cold air beyond execution rocks. It's a nice dodger, far better than the ones from UK and Doyle we checked out. SS frame, roll up windows, cut outs for the lines led aft and a full cockpit awning the attaches via zipper to the top of the dodger. Cost was 1530.00, except my work for the yard paid for it, so it "felt" free! Alien really benefited from all the ebay and yard work. Anyway, I'm outa here for a while. I'll drop in with pics from time to time. Enjoy the season and sail safely. Robert B. |

I don't like the looks of dodgers on small boats.
Took a cue from boob**** and looked around the garage, found 3 items that were collecting dust, put em on ebay and got a couple hundred bucks for them. I'll have to look in the barn next.

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.

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. SV "katysails" wrote in message ... Scotty observed: I don't like the looks of dodgers on small boats.

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. -jeff "Bobsprit" wrote in message ...

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? 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. RB |
