Bryan, The Capital YC seems to be mostly but not all stink potters. This is probably because the Annapols area has such a strong pull for sailboats, compared...
John, She was named Jolly Rodgers when we bought her 3.5 years ago. This haul-out we scraped the name, but haven't applied the new name. In the near...

All, The boat made the trip fine. I had a very contientous hauler - though not a professional - who refused to do anything in half- measures. He used his own...
Roy would never report this so I thought I would. It seems racing and Watkins is usually a dichotomy of terms, but Roy Weisert and the crew of Arete' (Aratay)...
We have purchased a larger boat and regretfully have our Watkins 32 for sale. One month ago the bottom was redone with along with the Topsides with Awlgrip....

Some other thoughts on trailers and tow vehicles. You analysis of the situation seems well thought out. We haul more horse trailers than boat trailers...
Bill, I recently sold my Watkins 29 and would be interested in your 32. Where are you located? How much are you asking for your boat? What does it need? Can ...

Well got her all back together on friday. I used an anti seize paste rated for up to 1600 degrees, figured maybe if I ever need to take her apart again might...
My W23 (two axle trailer) hasn't moved in a long time but if there is a difference between hubs I'd check it out. Doesn't take that long to disassemble. If...

It is in the high 90's way up here in Northern Indiana. Instead of sailing, I have taken up swimming. It is much more pleasant in this heat to swim, than fry...
