I was hoping they didn't all die of white-nose disease. I had some fresh guano on last year's pile today, and I heard squeaking from the box above. I'm SO happy! Amy Hopkins Guilford The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing. -- Edmund Burke

The wood will die at each of the "noble" fittings, i.e. at each spot where you want the wood to be extra strong... Where the wooden structure holds the struts, the stuffing box, the rudder bearings, etc. the wood will turn to mush! On a wood boat, each of the underwater metals should have its own separate zinc for protection.

When you die you can't take your money with you but maybe you can take your cruising memories ... 2. 1% Slip 1% Insurance 1% Mantainance 2% Loss of value (only if you buy a good "reseller") 5% Income, you don't get (If you use your money; if you use your bank it's more expensive) -> 10 % from list-price every year.

.> You're right Arild, but unless you have a boarding step of some kind at around waterlevel, chances are you'll drown or die of exhaustion trying to climb the side of the boat. It can even be hard to get on to a boarding platform from the water!!!! Cheers Glenn Williams "Stirling" Universal 36 Port Phillip, Australia.

I replaced the 20 year old single that sounded more like a large dieing mammel than a horn. I used the existing CO2 bottle/regulator system and it works great. I removed the tank and had it checked and refilled at a welding supply store. It will be interesting to see how long one bottle will last. I have the regulator set at about 60 psi.
