I've bought a new Genoa sail to replace the worn out one. The old one is mounted on a CDI furler. Anyone have step by step instructions for changing out the sails? Video or Pix would be even better. People I've spoken to say it is an easy exchnage however I'm leary to try doing it alone. The Admiral...

I have a 2007 "Owner's Manual" for my DF50. I'd be happy to copy and mail it to you. I could try to scan it but not sure how all 74 pages would come out or if it would clog the email. The instructions are pretty straight forward. I have successfully changed my own oil, filter and gear oil ...

Any new information on the ladder / cars? Photos?

Thanks to all of you who responded with great information (and great passion). Being of limited mechanical and electrical ability I guess I'll learn to love my early "M" model just the way she is. This is a great site for beginners like me and I look forward to contributing as I gain more ...

Has anyone heard of retro fitting the galley area of a 2003/2004 M into the port side sliding galley like the 2005 has?
I tried the MOD pages and Search but with no luck.

What is your recommendation for the Spreaders on trip of less then 5 miles? One one hand, they bump against the cabin when traveling down the road. On the other hand, it is one more thing to have to attach when your ready to raise the mast. Anyone have a "trick" of what to do with them? :m...
