Starboard for companionway boards
by John Schinnerer 01 Dec '17

01 Dec '17

Hi All, Has anyone here used 3/8" starboard for companionway boards? Or worked with it for anything else? I'm just wondering if it's stiff enough for the span of those boards. I know 1/2" would be. Really need to replace my boards this off-season...would like something totally water/rot/warp proof for the bottom board at least. Turns out the west coast transfer warehouse for King Plastics is about 20 minutes from here, in the north Medford industrial zone. Ironically they can't actually sell me full sheets, they'd have to refer me to a distributor - but they do custom cutting for McMasters-Carr and have a cut-offs ('scrap') pile, cash/check only, that changes week to week. So it's just a matter of waiting for the right leftovers...black or white only though, no fancy colors. cheers, John S. -- John Schinnerer - M.A., Whole Systems Design -------------------------------------------- - Eco-Living - Whole Systems Design Services People - Place - Learning - Integration john(a)eco-living.net - 510.982.1334 http://eco-living.net http://sociocracyconsulting.com

If you get pooped by a whopper of a following sea they might give but you probably would not be out in those kinds of conditions anyway. Be sure to reinstall barrel bolts on the bottom slide to keep it in place during a knockdown.

It was easy to work with and worked fine. As I recall I had to route the sides a little to clear. I don?t remember on the M17 but on the teak boards on my M15 I installed a 3/4x2? brace board on the inside where the two boards meet. I cut it on a 45 angle so that the boards dropped in nicely and don?t leak. I?m about to replace the 3/8? boards with 1/2? plywood teak. One problem with the starboard is that it is heavy.

FREE M17 jib

Hello fellow listers, I have recently acquired a used M17 110 jib from a sailing friend that no longer owns his boat. It has some holes in it from some gnawing critter, but looks to be repairable. It has bronze hanks, a few small battons, and the sail bag has the North brand printed on it. Free for the asking, for repair or parts, simply pay for shipping to you. I'm in zip code 55417, Mpls. At your service.

Took my outboard motor from my M-15 into a local outboard shop to get it winterized today. The motor is getting heavier, putting on weight. A guy needs to watch those things, they will sneak up on you and get heavier as you get older. Come to think about it, I used to do the winterizing myself, but not anymore.

Dave Scobie, Just curious: With all of the thousands of miles you drive towing a boat, have you had any problems with stone chips and dings on the boats? Have you done anything to prevent this or has it not been a problem? Henry -- Sent from Gmail Mobile on Windows 10 phone
