Sliding Glass Door
Our sliding glass door has become harder and harder to slide. Any advice on how to make it easier?

Re: Wanted. Mainsail for older 36
Having just replaced my mainsail with one from Calvert sails, I have one available. Was thinking I would keep the old one, just in case, but if you need one, maybe we could work something out. It is in reasonably good condition, having sailed for 6 seasons. The stack pack is available as well, but n...

Re: but he never had to deal with Yamaha USA.
For those of you on the Chesapeake, there is a Yamaha authorized dealer just north of Baltimore: Beacon Light. I have used them for repairs and maintenance. They come to the boat, and if necessary remove the engine and transport it back to their shop. They have been very good to deal with. (Notice I...

Re: IF you could have ANYTHING YOU WANTED...
For the VHF radio, we love the PA/loud hailer with listenback and auto-fog features.
For the chartplotter/GPS/Radar, get the large screen color.
For the autohelm, get the remote.

Re: screening main cabin hatch/door area
We bought a velcro/screen kit from Improvements catalogue. See
http://www.improvementscatalog.com/prod ... en-door.do
Had to trim it, but it works great and is lightweight.

Re: Rigid Boom Vang
I had ordered one with my 2003 Capella. Unfortunately, because I also have a boom break, it would not fit. I decided I liked the boom brake better -- it so convenient in controlling jibes -- so we returned the boom vang. In retrospect, due to the wide traveler on the hardtop, I rarely miss the vang.

Re: Main Sail Size
Thanks Sandy -- that was exactly what I thought, but it wasn't really my question. I was asking what the maximum size main is I could have without overloading the rigging, mast, etc.

Main Sail Size
I am wondering what the maximum size main is I can put on the boat if I buy new sails. We have the standard height mast (Hull # 96), with the double-diamond reinforcement. Thus, there are no back stays - only side stays, set a few feet aft of the mast.

Re: Stack Pack
Looks good. Mine is supported by one at each end and 2 in the middle -- total of 4, which seems fine.
By the way, I need a new one - want to make another?

Raymarine Display
Hi gang Last year we upgraded the Chartplotter display unit on our PDQ 36 to the large color one when the new series came out and the price dropped on the old series. Therefore the original is available for sale. Here are some specs: [*]it was new in 2003 [*]it is the display that came with the Raym...

Re: Sail area
