I know there is often a long delay from the creation of a new process to actual availability. This development could certainly lead to some interesting mods and allow greater flexibity is the deployment of solar panels. Over the last few months I've seen a lot of new developments in solar power on t...

I saw a mythbusters episode where they dimpled a car similar to a golf ball and saw a dramatic increase in gas milage 15% - 20% if i remember correctly.

The other day when I snapped the pic of the sailing vessel on the river that's aboue a little upstream I noticed this boat camped out. Well I was up in the same room the other day and looked out and it was still camped out. From that distance it wouldn't come out well so I walked over today and snap...

My boat is a 1980 hull I'd macr0020m80c, which just has me totally confused. Our boat are so different mine doesn't have the internal step but has an external one. In looking at the pics I would have said yours was newer. I'd love to see more folks post pics of 25's and their years of mfg. I'm still...

Here's another............. was in a meeting on one of our upper floors and went to look at the river (sacramento) to see how much it had come up after our weekend rains. And look at this just happened to look out at the right time. http://i1298.photobucket.com/albums/ag60/odanota/3739BEDA-695B-49F3...

And here's another one from the neighborhood

If you can post a pic it may go a long way toward folks being able to provide more assistance.

While in the Navy many years ago I know for times when the fire control (artillery system) on our boat wasn't working we had a device that you could sight the other ship with and on a scale in the viewfinder mark height from waterline to top of mast. Then refer to a reference book that gave mast hei...

Ok, so here's what mine looks like I'm working on a new board to cover it so a good time to make a mod. I like the way cuscus's is and it addresses another issue for the admiral the long step into the boat. And looking at the side view currently the winch is set aft of the cable a bit anyway so movi...

Yours is much different than mine, I'll snap a pic tonight and post. But looking at yours does give me a few ideas I'll have to see if they look feasible when I'm taking the pic tonight.

I have a M25 and a V222 both have the winch handle in about the same spot...... right inside the companionway hatch about dead center as you step down into the boat (I'm sure this isn't new info to anyone :| ). I don't see it as much as an issue but the admiral seems to find it most distressing, I'v...

I don't believe you can run a query and get someone's name and address from the registration numbers on their boat just as you can't run their car license plate and get the owner information. At least in California would expect the same elsewhere but..........

One of my neighbors says "I like kids............ especially when done on a Weber"

And here is boat number 2, this one just sits but get's dressed up for the holidays, a pirate hanging from the mast for Halloween and Santa at Christmas. BTW we call the fact that boats often look pristine in a picture but not some much in real life the craigslist effect :) http://i1298.photobucket....
