Save-A-Boat - The Forum for Plastic Classic Rebuilds!

Chris, Thanks for the information. I'll go through it. I've actually thought about how to keep the overboard thru hull and add a pump in the line from the holding tank(or porta potti) so that I can pump out the tank offshore. I don't think I'd use the head and holding tank unless I absolutely had to...

Interesting information. Thanks.

Thanks Oscar. I take it that you don't see any reason(other than Canada -?) to keep the holding tank. I was under the impression that since a porta potti is not 'permanently' installed that it wasn't subject to the same requirements. My understanding is that a porta potti is completely legal worldwi...

I have a Yankee 30 that my gf and I will be sailing to Sea of Cortez and beyond. I detest complicated systems and although my boat came with some nice equipment such as radar, some things I wouldn't have bought and installed if the boat hadn't come with it. So, at some point the marelon y-valve hand...

David- Chief White Cloud would be the one the boat's named after, in a way... Rachel- Fender placement is really just one thing which would benefit from an aluminum toe rail. That is certainly not the reason for it, but the little things count for a lot on a boat. The primary reason is maintenance. ...

Leaving Aug. 1st this year. I CAN NOT wait! I also considered Trex for the toe rail, but if I'm going to do it, might as well do it the way I want it. The practicality of the aluminum toe rail is not to be underrated I think. Simply being able to lash the fenders to it rather than the fairly weak st...

Sorry Chris, hit the post button a little early there. I've done a fair bit of work on her. She was in great shape when I got her. Did a fairly large drill and fill on the decks, I've rebedded about 75% of deck hardware so far, fixed blisters, et cetera. I'm in the process of installing mast steps, ...

Thanks Chris. I've been reading your blog and I'm impressed with the work on your Yankee. Ours are only a couple hull #s apart. Eventually I'll recore the decks and add a aluminum toe rail, which I had hoped to do before leaving, but I doubt I'll get to it before leaving. Probably do it on the hard ...

Just found this site a bit late as I've been refitting my Yankee 30 the last 1.5 years for cruising in Mx, the S. Pacific and beyond. Perusing the forum I find it to be fantastic. A great place for all boats classic and plastic. Anyway, here is mine, sailing in Puget Sound.
