Re: Hirilondë moves to Wickford
Dave-
I lived in East Greenwich for a bit many years ago. Wickford was always a draw for its beautiful town and harbor. In fact I am looking at a painting of Wickford Harbor right now.
Good luck with employment.
Enjoy your mooring!

Re: Planning to Drop the Mast - Cal25
I thought some might be interested in the Gin Pole a friend constructed for raising and lowering his keel stepped mast in his new Ensign (Ensign Spars, not Pearson). He constructed a gin pole (I hope I have the correct word) from a used Lightning mast. Again, the Ensign mast is keel stepped. On the ...

New Multi Master
I recall that Fein redesigned the MultiMaster attachment points to a "star" shape. The new Rockwell, Dremel, etc seem to have a round hole where the blades attach to the drive. Are the new product accessories compatible with the new MultiMaster?

I remember sitting on a Vixen with the Hales at the Newport Boat Show in the late 70s.
I too thought it a beautiful well made boat.
Good Luck. Please post pictures if you have them.

My O'Day Mariner has a "dip" in the bottom near the transom. I understand that is from O'Day popping the hulls out of the molds too soon. I am told the dip drastically slows the boat and want to improve the boat speed. (ok, I know Mariners are not Lightnings, J-22s, etc., but it is one des...
