I believe the registration number is punched on the transom just below the metal trim.

Hello from the Midwest, I pulled my boat off the mooring yesterday. For next season, I’m considering replacing the current wire/ 3/8” rope halyards. The current halyards I suspect are original and the junction between the wire and rope is just a knot tied to a loop in the wire. Because of the config...

For what it’s worth, when I lower the keel all the way, the bolt will not go through the keel. I need to wind it up just slightly to find a sweet spot so that the keel bolt will easily pass through all of the holes.

That approach sounds interesting. Do you have a photo of your setup that you could share?

When I first got the boat back in 2013, the chords looked old and did not consistently hold down the rudder when sailing. I replaced them and the problem went away. Today I was out sailing ...

However, the sail seems well constructed, was economical, and came very quickly. Attached is a pictu...

Welcome! I’ve really enjoyed learning to sail on my SJ121. I sail on lake Mendota in Madison Wisconsin, keeping the boat on a mooring during the sailing season. Unfortunately, I just hauled it out last weekend and put the rig in storage for the winter.... How about sharing a few pictures of your new...

Interesting story. I moor my boat on Lake Mendoza over the summer and we get some pretty stiff winds that really make the boat bob around. In fact, I was down at the marina several years ago to check on the boat during a wind storm and witnessed another slightly larger boat break it's mooring line a...
