What part of the country/world are you located in? John (post thread history removed by moderator)

Hi all, I just got a N16 for free off CL! You will be shocked to hear that it is going to need some work. I have already found some parts and info on the FB groups that will be very helpful, but so

I thought I would share this project with you all. I cut out part of the floor on my Gloucester 16 to inspect the keel trunk and find out where the water was coming in. I found leakage around the keel

I also like the time saver of leaving the sail attached to the boom. ?So far, all of my sailing is at our lake 5 minutes away (Shawnigan Lake, BC) so I can just lay things in the cockpit. ? I tried

Hello Yes,? That is essentially how mine is set up.? I don't use "truckers" rubber bungees.? I use the round ones.? I initially hang the boom as you show, but then I wrap the mast with a couple of

all, Just read Jay's comments and wanted to share the picture attached.? Not particularly proud of the picture (my boat ends up with stuff on top during the winter).? I use bungees also and it

Nice alternative Mark. ?Hmm, I wonder if one could take it a step further. ? There’s a thread about lazy jacks on the Facebook forum. ?An evolution of lazy jacks are called “stack packs” (see

I made a bag of heavy tarp material for the boom with mainsail attached. The mainsail can remain attached to the boom, with tack, clew, and reeflines in place, which makes setup and takedown easier.

Yes, probably the forward support is best since the boom will fit between there and the mast step.? And it would be easy enough to fabricate a midpoint support at the mast step, say from a 2X6, that

Thanks, Gary, I'm going to think about doing something similar.? Without access to welding skill or equipment, I may fabricate something from wood and bolt it to the side of the fore or aft mast

Thanks!!!? I think this is a great idea. Tom Haynes (post thread history removed by moderator)

The mast and boom carrying provision was fabricated by the previous owner, who had access to a welding shop. ?You’ll see in the picture that there’s a removable support that fits in the mast

I meant to include photos in the prior post.

Nice looking boat Gary!? Could you detail how the boom is carried? (post thread history removed by moderator)

Windows Update: Here’s an update on my cabin window replacement. Thanks for all the comments that helped me think this through! I cut 1/8 inch clear acrylic pieces a little larger than the

Hello fellow sailors, I must say I didn't know I was on this thread, but do vaguely?remember posting somewhere a few years ago.? I can also say that I'm not sure how to post without having

Hi Gary and All, Congratulations on your new boat! My wife and I have sailed a Gloucester 16 for the past ten years. At the moment, I am trying to chase down a leak in the keel trunk
