#207 "Squalus", in Vancouver, B.C.
No problem. I am not an expert at the doing part only an expert at
accumulating the info..I leave the doing to the pros. We have
just about done
everything one could do to a Shark however my network of friends and comrades
(both coastal, and deep water sailors) along with all of the people that I
worked with in the marine industry have given me a resource that is
fantastic. Again I may not have first hand experience on all problems but you
can rest assured with the network in place there are people that can assist me
with anything from refitting a centreboard on a dinghy to refitting or engine
on a super tanker to sailing in English Bay or sailing around the world in
265 days non stop single handed in a Contessa 32.
Cheers ...

Subject: Fw: Double jeopardy's overhaul with pictures
Here are a few pics of "Double
Jeopardy" # 944, under way a major overhaul.
As you can see in the pictures the deck is lifted up to allow us to get
rid of the rub rail and the gallons of caulking this boat has seen
throughout the years to try, (and fail) at making it water tight! When
the work is done she will be sporting a new colour, and be the second
shark to be one piece, (gange green being the other). Yes that's right
we are going to glass the hull and the deck together. This will solve
the water leaking problem. We will be dropping the keel, and taking the
hull down to its gel coat.
Unfortunately the boat will not be ready for the
water until late August, so if anyone out there needs a few young men
from the Grand Bend area as crew we would love to help!
Anyway see ya on the water,
The boys from Grand Bend!!
(NOTE: #944 is owned by Jason Mansfield)

Hello,
Just thought I'd drop an email and say hello. We are
cruisers here having never raced. (not that I have not thought about
it). We are Lake Erie bound and travel from Erie to Port Dover and Port
Burwell most.
(Webmaster's note: Article "snipped" to
conserve space. For the full text of Floyd's Autohelm installation
see "Greetings
from #140 in Erie, Pa" in Shark Talk -
Cruising Chat)
A little about myself. I am a retired Merchant Marine
Master Radio Electronics Officer. I have spent a good part of my life
traveling at sea on mostly large ocean going container vessels. There
were no radio operators on the Great Lakes since 56 or 53 or somewhere
back then so I have never worked on the Great Lakes. We worked mostly
for Sealand Service. In 1999 the USA Radio Officers were taken off the
USA ships and my job was gone thanks to cheap labor rates and reduced
saftey inspection requirements from foreign flagged shipping. Since then
I operate a small computer store and sail when ever I can find time and
energy and a good companion to go with when the wife doesn't go. I do
computer consulting and marine electronics and would be glad to answer
any questions about my electronics on the shark.
