    Three Most Useful Things Ever Invented

    1. The Internet 2. Scoopable cat litter. Not necessarily in that order, though. OK, that's only two things...

    FYI: French clone of C-Dory for sale

    SPOT TRACKER

    The SPOT is an interesting concept, great hardware price, but somewhat expensive service costs for casual usage ($150/year with tracking). My impression is that it is first-generation, like the iPhone which became so obsoleted so quickly with the announcement of the second model, cheaper and...

    Displacement speeds/economy

    Displacement speeds/economy

    Assume someone is willing to forgo planing speeds in a CD22 or similar hull, and is willing to run slow displacement speeds, just for the sake of being able to get out on the great lake and scoot around economically for many hours, perhaps sitting in the pilot house using a laptop...a slow...
