    We have been looking to add to our boating options

    A new saga begins...bringing a 36' PDQ catamaran from RI to Lake Champlain, after the NY canal system opens in mid May. Many replacement part are ordered, some installed already, others done in the next month or so. Once here we have plans to build a new bimini frame and bimini/dodger with the...

    Overboat personal foiling catamaran (PWC)

    Still in development, looks a little slow, dinghy speed, but give it another couple of years. Foiling at 8kts and a smooth ride. May be boring if you just got off a jetski.

    What did you do to your boat today?

    Thanks, she has cushions down pretty well. She has been adding top stitching and the back cushions will have a horizontal French seam half way up, hiding a pull down, stapled to the backing board, to help keep the the corner cushions round. That french seam will be continuous across all the back...

If yours is too short, could the anchor resting chocks/lock be moved inward to fit the anchor? I know it is a new boat, but a couple of new holes there will not...
