Re: Where to find Hull ID
Robert Collier
'Just a small comment, Julie, the number is "on the right side of the transom"?--Now, let's see if I face the transom that would make it on the port side of the boat, but if I'm sitting in the boat at the stern it would be on the starboard side. Hmmm now I know why starboard and port are used instead of right and left. Damn land lubbers just getting us all confused! (don't take this too seriously I'm just poking fun at a common error that we all make)

On ours it is on the bottom edge of the transom near the rudder on the port side. Supposed to be stbd side upper edge, but being that as it may, ours is port lower edge. Should be PCS20 plus 3 digit serial number and 4 character date code. Jim Hooker sv Niamh (278) Detroit

Where to find Hull ID
Erik Svenson
May be a basic question, but where do I find the HIN on my Flicka?
Thanks, Erik s/v Flicka (yes, it’s called “Flicka”)

Rudder Cheeks Tiller Hole Location
kocarc@...
The cheeks were made from a slab of Osage Orange and now moving to locate and drill for the bolts. Question, as I don't have the original cheeks - can someone provide the location of the tiller bolt hole by giving me the vertical and horizontal dimension to the bolt? The boat was built in 1982. I can approximate it from my photo pattern which unfortunately has the top foreshortened but thought better to check before drilling. Also fabricated a new motor mount to match but thicker. Thanks, Tom Hull 147

Re: mast screws
gabriel warren
Could be an incomplete job of mounting mast steps. Spacing could be a clue: 12” is normal, but some, like my MastMate, are 14”.

Re: mast screws
Giacomo Bernardi
There are several sets at regular intervals the entire length of the mast. This is why I thought of a ladder. But they are only on one side of the mast. Very weird.

Re: New Owner
Priscilla Wheatley
The thing about single-handing is avoiding assistance from people who think you need help. I was tieing up at the Camden (Maine) Yacht Club and two older gentlemen on the float offered to help. I politely declined but they grabbed something. It totally screwed me up. I put two fenders overboard. I don't use the bow line, just the spring and stern lines. Make off the spring line first. You are attached to the dock and the bow or stern cannot float away. I pull the stern in so the cockpit is parallel to the float. I came too close to tripping which they figured out.
I have a rule of sorts for the rare occasions when I take someone out If they know how to sail they have to sit on their hands. I came up with a remote control method of letting the anchor go. It involves a loop, a stick of some sort, and a long string. You rig it up so pulling the string takes the stick out, the loop disappears and the anchor drops. It is handy when it is breezy and getting forward and back to the cockpit takes too long. Have fun Jeff !!!!!!!!

mast screws
Giacomo Bernardi
Sorry for bombarding with questions but as we approach our launch date more new things come up....
On one side of the mast, there are sets of screws, and we wonder what these are for, may be places for steps to climb up the mast?

Re: Red Rascal "Home made"

Good response, Robert!! *******************************************************************************************************************************

'Just want to get one small thing off my chest before I fade into the sailing sunset: One enquirer about the Red Rascal dismissed interest in the boat with a single, sneering comment "home made". Many items have their beginning as "home made"---Bruce Bingham, the naval architect and first builder of the initial plug for the Flicka started from a home design and construction. Those two stubborn bicycle mechanics and brothers from Kittyhawk built their flying machine in their garage. So, today every supersonic plane has their DNA from that moment in history. And yes, my Flicka was built in my garage. I used superior equipment equal to or better than a production model---really, better? One example: production Flickas use vinyl- or polyester resins for their molds, but I used epoxy in the construction for added strength. Epoxy is not a resin but a polymer and is stronger than a resin although it costs about twice as much. So, without further elaboration, when you hear of something "home made" don't think cheap or sloppy, but possibly custom crafted with better materials---Thank you, Bob Collier

Re: Tabernacle
Giacomo Bernardi
Fabulous, I am on it, thank you so much if you watch this video and pause at the time: 15 seconds (yes the very beginning of the video) you can see a hinged tabernacle, which seems very different than what I have but makes complete sense to me if one wants to lower and raise the mast easily.
