    Cheap dry dock in SF Bay (preferably Sausalito/San Rafael)

    Hi all, I'm looking for an inexpensive loacation to have my boat hauled and dry docked in the SF Bay area. I prefer a location near Tiburon, like Sausalito or San Rafael, but will consider SF and East Bay as well. I would also consider a slip if the price was very good. Anyone have any...

    Nav Pod on the Cheap

    I was looking for a pedestal guard, mainly to mount my handheld gps and maybe a pocket for my handheld vhf. Based on the price, and limited space on the E27 due to the main sheet location, I made a smaller "Nav Pod" I don't intend on doing a lot of cruising, very far from Port, so this should...

    Cheap LED replacement for existing cabin fixtures

    I read the posts here and looked at fixture replacement as well as bulb replacement & decided to go a different route. The 9 LED strip I used is $13, guarenteed for life and draws .07 amp. It has the apparent luminosity of the two 10 watt incandecent bulbs it replaces (.833 amps *2) although...

    Cheap ebay E35-2?

    Hello, Great forum. A real boon to someone who has rashly bought a boat, unseen, thousands of miles away.

    Good, Cheap Binoculars

    Last time they were on sale, I picked up a pair of West Marine's low-cost 7 x 50 binoculars, the Huahines. I figured I couldn't be too disappointed as they were just $40.00. They are really quite nice and I'm very pleased. Good points: Sharp clear image, not Fujinon or Steiner, but I...

    Cheap Increase in Speed

    Just wanted to speak briefly about a fantastic experience I had this last weekend. I race my Ericson 27, using A-Sails on an overlength spinn pole. We have been toying with the idea of also flying a staysail, as it would work great either combined with the jib on a jib reach, or with the...
