Aquarius Sail Owners

I used 62' (I would probably add 3') for the mainsheet and either 32' or 37' (can't read the receipt writing) for the jib sheet.

I used DPX line. It is like yarn, easy on the hands, good grip, slides through the blocks quickly and easily, and grips well in the cleats. I highly recommend it.

Finally remembered to take a picture today. I have some line I leave in the down haul grommets on the sail with a ring on either side. This allows an even load on each grommet. I attach the down haul blocks to the rings with shackles. Doing this saves setup time and with the blocks it’s easier to ...

I really didn’t need it because not much came into the hose. I also added a vacuum gauge and an on and off switch. I ...

Maybe you saw a post of my old SC20 I did some hull work on. You can see how I did my repairs and it might give you some ideas. The picture order ended being reversed in each posting.

I was doing some repairs and painting myself.

ARC is Aquarius Robert’s Catamaran I’m pretty sure.

Thank you! I’ll check out your blog on my next trip. Looks like a nice boat you were on. I look forward to reading and watching it.

I’ve got plenty of time to prepare. I might call you regarding the varnish.

Look at the wooden schooner I recently bought. It’s still in northern France but I’ll probably sail it to Florida in 2023. It’s 21 years old. 15 meters long.
