I had a ring ding break on shroud pin JUST as I was turn 4.3 around on the beach. It did a slow drop and crew caught it. MAN has I glad we where on the beach. Would have been a mess the snuffer and all to get back on boat for tow.

When you loan your RV to a workmate, be sure they understand that the water pressure regulator should be left on the hose when connecting to a street water supply - especially in a location known for problematically high water pressure. Don't ask my how I know.

OH! and if you loan an RV to a workmate, make sure they're honest enough to tell you when a problem arises so you don't figure it out the night before you are supposed to leave for a regatta....don't ask me how I know.

Jake you should know better! never loan your stuff to a workmate.. that can cause hard feelings and a lack of productivity at work... but since we dont work together... can i use your RV?

It did spur a "duh" idea for me though...I've always hated having to deal with a hose-mounted external water pressure regulator anyway - the exterior hose kind leak, they choke down the water flow way too much (the shower dribbles), and I have to replace them about every year...I'm now installing a $20 fixed regulator just inside the exterior water inlet. duh.

If you see your bows suddenly rise up in your rear view mirror while driving forward on a rural road it is probably not good. While you might hope you simply forgot to lock the hitch on the receiver ball, it is also possible that the mast's forward progress was suddenly halted by a power line. You may find that the trailer tie-downs are so strong that instead of breaking, your trailer bent in half. Your neighbors may be looking at you for all sorts of reasons, losing power in their homes among them.

Don't ask me how I know.

This seems a little "off the topic" ... you would get a better responce as a new thread (or use the serach feature)

I love the robline dingy racing sheets.... go ahead.. ask me... !!!

when out fishing,

pay attention to your boatmates as they bring in their catches. Not doing so can bring you pain and grief, and an evening soaking extremities in very hot salt water.

don' aks me how Ah knows.
