@sailing One of my goals for this year involves getting my SailCan coastal navigation + intermediate cruising certifications. Do any of you folks have advice on resources for learning the coastal nav stuff? I've heard that the "official" book & test is a bit of a mess. Incorrect info, incorrect *answers*. Looking for an improvement over that.

I would imagine that this drink is not very popular in the sailing community.

@sailing Sailing question: On a Catalina 27, if you had a choice between a loose-footed main and a boltrope main (where it is attached for the full length of the boom), which would you prefer?

And how much work would it be to convert a boltrope boom to a loose-footed boom? (my assumption is virtually no work required, but I could be wrong)

Hey boaters of mastodon/fediverse: What do you recommend as a removable mounting solution for a large raymarine navionics screen?

Previously we've been using a terrible, no-good, endlessly frustrating mounting ball "solution". But we have an opportunity to find something better.

Spending my evening trying to identify a seemingly obscure piece of boom shackle tackle.

Or, more specifically, a boom vang that seems to have a harness that goes around the boom, instead of a bracket that attaches to the boom.

Can't seem to find the right words to describe it ... but the existing one is fraying & could fail.

If you're sailing in fog and want other ships to be able to steer clear of you, what would be the best song to blast at full volume?
