test boat maintenance july 27 2026 a lot of water has rushed over the bridge since we last looked at synthetic teak decking materials eight years worth since that last report see synthetic teaks go toe to toe we ve subjected assessing the anchor kellet anchoring mooring july 27 2026 one of all chain rodes most popular features among cruising sailors has little to do with anchoring and everything to do with stowing with a well designed bow roller windlass hawse hole and chain locker your rode and anchor will deploy and stow belowdecks faster and with far less effort than nylon rode requires but for a smaller boat without a windlass or deep chain locker an all chain rode is often impractical even cruising sailors who are perfectly equipped for all chain anchoring often find that their nylon secondary anchor better is suited for some anchoring situations the case of the painted jib sails rigging deck gear july 27 2026 polyester sailcloth is amazingly strong and durable stuff often

is to go somewhere wood rot prevention what eight years of extreme exposure testing taught us boat maintenance july 20 2026 wood is strong stiff per unit weight easy to work with attractive and economical and it rots a few special types of wood such as teak are highly resistant to rot but these woods are generally heavy and almost always expensive pressure treated lumber is an option but it s ugly warps does not take coatings well and is not always very rot resistant western red cedar on the other hand has long been used in canoes and cedar fence posts have a deserved reputation for durability we started our rot resistance testing eight years ago in 2015 and we finally cleaned out our accelerated rot test box in july 2023 results ranged from abysmal untreated samples of fir have
