I know that you have all been good boys and girls this year, so I'm sure that Santa will bring you the new set of sails you'd like to have; will supply the non-drag anchor for windy anchorages; will be there to lend a guiding hand when you find yourself in the "soup" for the first time and will guide you safely to your destination (fog sailing is an acquired skill along the New England coast). I'd just like to wish you all a Merry Christmas, with lots of good sailing in the coming year; with always a wind that lets you get to your destination on a broad reach; and that you always have a hand's breadth of water under your keel. Happy sailing, Connie ex M-15? #400 LEPPO ------------------------------ Subject: Digest Footer _______________________________________________ montgomery_boats mailing list montgomery_boats(a)mailman.xmission.com https://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats Remember, there is no privacy on the Internet! ------------------------------ End of montgomery_boats Digest, Vol 178, Issue 3 ************************************************

Starboard for companionway boards
by John Schinnerer 01 Dec '17

01 Dec '17

Hi All, Has anyone here used 3/8" starboard for companionway boards? Or worked with it for anything else? I'm just wondering if it's stiff enough for the span of those boards. I know 1/2" would be. Really need to replace my boards this off-season...would like something totally water/rot/warp proof for the bottom board at least. Turns out the west coast transfer warehouse for King Plastics is about 20 minutes from here, in the north Medford industrial zone. Ironically they can't actually sell me full sheets, they'd have to refer me to a distributor - but they do custom cutting for McMasters-Carr and have a cut-offs ('scrap') pile, cash/check only, that changes week to week. So it's just a matter of waiting for the right leftovers...black or white only though, no fancy colors. cheers, John S. -- John Schinnerer - M.A., Whole Systems Design -------------------------------------------- - Eco-Living - Whole Systems Design Services People - Place - Learning - Integration john(a)eco-living.net - 510.982.1334 http://eco-living.net http://sociocracyconsulting.com
