Lewmar Hatch Lens Replacement
The acrylic of older hatches is typically crazed by exposure to UV. Few vendors are willing to replace the lens at less than 70 percent of the price of a new hatch. But the acrylic is a stock item for most plastics shops, who can also cut and drill to the ...

It used to be that families cruised together in wooden boats to uncrowded anchorages. Fifty years later, on another ocean, I'm glad to still be there: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MY3GFaHwRAA

What's missing in this initial trial is emphasis on sail trim. The Raymarine works well in quite heavy air and sea--far better than the general reputation of wheel pilots--if the boat is trimmed for neutral helm, as it must be for a pendulum wind vane syst...
