The rope antenna certainly is MUCH less expensive than using a backstay (assuming your backstay is in place. Whether the rope antenna is a better antenna? Now that is another story. The rope antenna is basically a long piece of wire running in the middle of a piece of rope. It requires either hangin...

The Icom 718 is what was recommended to me. Unfortunately, when I went to install it in my nav. station it was one ( 1) inch too deep. %&)#%@! So I went with the Icom 706MKIIG.

Planning on putting our Capella on a lift. All suggestions and pearls of wisdom welcomed.

In flat water with headwinds of 16 knots the boat moved effortlessly at 4,000 rpm to a speed of 7.5. The motors can r...

Details to follow - including the scoop on the custom fabricated brackets. The installation should be complet...

Good news: For whatever reason, Progressive lowered their rates!
Bad news: They only cover 125 nm off US coastline. No rider available to extend this.
