Re: Thunderstorms and Sailboats
Well I made it out alive! There were lightning strikes everywhere and I decided to pull in near the dock where there were some tall trees in hopes that the trees were taller than my mast. I ended up staying out for three days on the boat. We had some small pop-up thunderstorms during the next few da...

Re: Thunderstorms and Sailboats
Hey thanks for the quick reply! I actually just motored back to the dock and I am anchored next to the dock waiting for the storm to pass. I have been out in some decent stuff but this was a very large pop-up thunderstorm. If I do happen to sink I’ve got my life jacket and my wet bag all ready to go...

Thunderstorms and Sailboats
Hello everybody again, I am spending the night on the San Juan 21 and I’ve got thunderstorms passing through. I see some lightning strikes and it got me wondering, how safe is the San Juan 21 of the mast gets hit by lightning. Has anyone had this happen yet? I definitely figured during a thunderstor...

Re: Import Outboard?

Re: Hull #2555 Restoration Begun
So to answer your questions. First yes the wood is original but it was in really bad shape when I got it. I had to pull it all off and sand the heck out of it and then I have used teak oil to finish it. Secondly I had a friend that worked at a local chair factory and I was able to get all of the new...

Re: Hull #2555 Restoration Begun
Hello King, man I was trying to get this pic of my boat on here before you made the bulkheads but I was out on her this weekend and I have to resize pics to upload here and I couldn't on my phone. Anyway I am so glad these forums are still here because when I restored #2560 I did the bulkheads like ...

Re: Bimini?
I would love a bimini top cover but we have to duck our heads every time we tack and we have our main sail at the 'black line' on the mast. There are others here with more experience than me though so I could be wrong. Good luck!

Re: New San Juan Mark III Caretaker #2555
Haha this has been a great read! Ya’ll are always talking crap! Now that I see what is being cut out I don’t think that will be too bad. I’ve done a lot of fiberglass work and once again I must agree with Kuriti Cutting into the hull would scare the hell out of me. That don’t sound like a watertight...
