I recommend Moccasins Not Chasing People for the comedy and Cottonmouth Acres for interesting content on FB. This one was a bit too much of a threat to Starr for me. She spotted it and came to a stop a couple of feet in front of it. They were staring each other down when I figured out what she was staring at and called her away. But what if she only spots the tail, thinks it's a lizard, and pounces? I didn't want to risk it.

Very cool. It’s remarkable how high the cottonmouth floats compared to our usual banded and brown water snakes we have around here.

@@TomScottMorgan30 I learned that an artesian pond down the street near the water plant had saltwater fish and gave it a shot. It worked. No one is admitting to putting the tarpon in there, of course.

I realize this is a 13-year-old video but I'm trying to turn a 32 ft CNC into a trimaran using Hobie Cat hulls as a donor for the project how would I attach this to the boat itself where it wouldn't rip it apart? I can't find anything on KZfaq about any of it which is unusual for KZfaq

Wayne, one Sun Cat sailor did manage to get his boat blown onto its side but they righted it. The story is somewhere on the Trailer Sailors catboat forum. For more Sun Cat fun, please come to the Sun Cat National Championship Regatta next month.

No record anywhere of a 17' Sun Cat capsizing. It is derived from heavy, shallow keeled workboats that brought its fisherfolk home day after day. I call mine a "roving conversation pit". Plenty of room, stable, no excitement of a boom coming at your because of the high clearance. Quite enough to hear the dolphins puffing as they cruise by. Thanks for sharing your story.

Freesailer, I believe he used a larger nozzle when spraying gelcoat with that sprayer than the one he used with paint, but the big difference is made by pressurizing the tank to force the gelcoat through. I'd say test your equipment on a sample piece and see.

I'm not sure, but his general answer to any question that begins with the words "why don't you just buy" is "because I can make my own!" We were mixing large batches for color consistency and adding catalyst in the mix/spray cup so it would not kick off too soon. Did not have any problems with that technique.
@JOEGGGJOE11 жыл бұрын
why dont you just buy a gel coat gun? gel coat is to thick for spray guns, unless you have a larger nozzel. i would also pour and mix in a seperate cup.

We were just outside our home channel when the storm caught us, Brimstone, and I did not feel bold enough to sail in the channel. Not many options at the end of it! I left the Bimini up mostly for the ladies and because we had a short distance to go. Otherwise, I agree with your points above. I have a quick reefing system.
@brimstone3311 жыл бұрын
Shoulda maybe dropped that bimini top. Coulda been a problem if it blew down and interfered with steering. Mighta been better to sail rather than motor, prop lifts out in the swells, but I guess that big gaff cat sail doesn't reef well. My wife assumes the same position in heavy weather but conventional wisdom says close the hatches in case of knockdown.

They are heavily ballasted and extremely unlikely to capsize. I suppose breaking surf could roll one. Some of the sailors are unable to swim, so a capsize would be a very serious problem.
