Weekender Color Coded Sail Lines Color Coded Lines, April 15, 2011
I had a friend on board who got confused over "left" and "right." so I decided to buy all new lines and color code them. Now I can say, "pull on the green one!" 		Weekender Noodle Fenders Noodle Fenders, April 15, 2011
I tried the pool noodle idea before but as two long ones, they were never where I wanted them. So, I cut them into 14 inch pieces and hung them individually. I hope this is better ...
Weekender Trailer Tie Downs Rope Tie Downs, April 24, 2011
I changed the trailer tie downs from the nearly non working cheap straps to simple friction rope tie downs. They only keep the boat from bouncing out of its keel track. 		Weekender Rope Tie Downs Clip Rope Tie Downs Clip, April 24, 2011
This is the friction end of the rope tie down. They are intended to hold tarps in place but in this application, there is little pressure on the ropes, they only keep the boat bounce contained in the keel track.
Weekender Boom Crutch - Stern View Boom Crutch Stern View, December 10, 2011
I built a boom crutch for trailering and storage. It is just a couple of dowels, joined and hinged. See video #5 for more info. 		Weekender Boom Crutch - Starboard View Boom Crutch Starboard View, December 10, 2011
This is the boom crutch from the starboard side. This is the lower position I use for trailering.
Weekender Boom Crutch - High Position Boom Crutch High Position, December 10, 2011
Boom crutch in the high position. I use this for motoring, when I haven't raised the sail yet or don't intend to raise it. This position gets the boom above eye sight so you can talk to your passenger.
