Re: Jib Causing Over-steer - HELP!
Hey Kuriti! Is it pretty much just you and I on this forum? I want to rewire my boat so I can add some extra stuff. Have any experience with that? I've put more wear and tear on my boat in the last two months than the POs did in the previous 30 years. Any suggestions on how to locate a parts boat? C...

Re: Mast stepping system
I'm 67 and I don't have any problem straddling the cockpit, putting the mast on my shoulder, and walking it up. But I can't lower it that way.

After what seems like forever the bow will slowly turn to windward. Several times I have struck the jib and sailed only wi...

Greetings from South Mississippi
I live near the gulf coast and recently bought a MK II as a part of my bucket list. I would like to link up with another owner in this area for assistance. I bought it after concluding that it was about the largest boat I could safely tow with a Dodge grand caravan. I had never visited this forum, a...
