Re: New owner with questions 1959 #16
I own Triton 703, one of the last built. I've been following on You tube "Acorn to Arabella". the guys are building a 38' wooden sailboat. They cut up a Triton to get the lead keel to use in their boat. They saved all hardware. I believe it is for sale. It is bronze. My triton has aluminum...

Re: Part ID thru hull?
I might use the stuffing box again, but the thru-hulls, since not installed, I'd replace with new marelon thru-hulls and valves. No electrolysis for one thing.

Re: mast end attachment for vang
Next time out, try 3-4 wraps of a line at the bottom of the mast, it shouldn't slip and the angle will be improved; at no additional charge!

Re: mast end attachment for vang
I just saw this post, you may have solved the problem already.... On Artemis , I simply wrapped 8-10' of old 3/8 halyard around the mast base and tied a square knot tight to the mast, then hooked the snap shackle of the lower block around one loop. This has been working fine for 5 seasons and no add...

Re: Loose Footed VS. Attached foot sail
ahoy, I, too, am hoping to get a new mainsail for next season. I would like a loose footed, full battened main for Artemis, Triton #703. My concern is the mast track, which is original, seemingly in good condition. Is it required to change the mast track to go with full battens? This would nearly do...

Re: transducer
Thanks to all. After several phone calls, I decided to order Airmar's P319. Some surgery will be required , but I will install it in the location of the original one

transducer
ahoy! I purchased a Lowrance HDS7 chartplotter/fishfinder at the Defender sale. I'm getting baffled at which transducer to get for it and the best place to install it. I removed the old (original) one which was on the centerline thru 3" of fiberglass directly below the v-berth insert. Any sugge...
