Can't figure this out. Can anyone please advise. With the keel up - winched up in the trailer position - How does the locking bolt work? What does it go thru? ...
The locking bolt is for locking the keel down. Lower your keel all the way (just until the cable goes slack) then raise it a little (about 1/2 turn on my ...
Tks so much Jim for quick response: I understand locking keel down, I have that all ok. Can u Confirm that when trailering there is nothing only the winch...
I have no holes to lock the keel up. When the boat is on the trailer, I lower the keel so it rests on the trailer roller. I guess the keel could bounce around...
A few years ago, I capsized my Siren. After this event she really seemed to wallow and was slow to respond. Last summer I was out of country and did not sail....

tks Jim: I just thought it had to be locking bolt and got "locked" on that idea and couldn't see past it. Sizing it up now as u suggest I would say it's for...
A question for Pat (or who ever else might know) : My main halyard cleet shattered on the last sail, do you know where a very close replacement can be found?...
Hi James: It would depend: How loose is your keel? Mine when lowered has a good 1"of play, at the end of the keel. I would hate to have the keel banging around...

My wife made a jib "sock" out of Sunbrella and a looong zipper from SailRite. It has a very slight taper top to bottom and velcro at the bottom to let the jib...

Anyone notice how big the storage space is in photos now? We better enjoy it while we can, I have heard tha Yahoo is going to eliminate the Yahoo photo section...
A question to follow up on this discussion. I don't (as yet) have a siren, but anticipate getting one in the next year or so. When I do, I will probably leave...
Interesting, it was only a year or so ago that they increased the photo section from 20 meg to 100. Seems strange that they would go the other way now....

Dear Ken: Here is what I saw along with some discussion on it on a moderator's web site for Yahoo. See what you think, they sound pretty serious to me. Say,...

Bill, I think that the elimination of the photos only refers to Yahoo Photos and not the Yahoo Groups. Yahoo Photo is a seperate section and Yahoo bought Flikr...
