Premier day at the Miami Boat Show:





Can someone explain this??





















The in water Strictly Sail show was actually bigger than the power boat show. Off to the Yacht and Brokerage show in Miami Beach today. I don't expect to see many sailboats there.

Was gonna say the same thing. I thought about doing that after getting the trailer together for the conveinience of that option, but holes in the boat irritate me. Especially ones that aren't used much.

Sorry, that decade old joke's made a comeback with family and friends.

We're heading there tomorrow (Saturday), planning on getting there early as we want to participate in 2 or more of the seminars. Looking to make a long day of it

Curious about the large recessed areas in the rudder where the pintles are mounted.

It looks like the gudgeons on this boat are mounted much lower on the transom than on my boat. I assume the size of the recessed areas are to accommodate the different gudgeon locations of different vintages of boats.

I suspect that the tradeoffs between the different gudgeon locations are that the lower mounting point has less moment arm for stresses on the gudgeons, but greater chance that they would be submerged in following seas, which could lead to moisture intrusion if the bedding is old.
