Hello again! I went out and bought a pair of the 16.5" Wheeleez dolly wheels and found the width of their hubs are 1.5" too wide for the SS extenders I have on the dolly. My boat came with the large Florida Sailcraft jet ski wheels with 1" diameter centers and the extenders appear to be the 9" variation. In an attempt to free the extenders, I found the are "welded" to the alum axle. After generous applications of PB, no movement. What can I do? I don't have much in the way of shop tools here.

Thanks in advance!

I'm thinking of adding a larger deck hatch to accommodate a small cooler for food and goodies in the main hull, I'm thinking along these lines. For those that have one, what brand did you chose and how difficult was the installation? Thanks in advance!!!

I'm picking up a Lt grey boat and want to do some touch up work to the amas and main hull. Does anyone know the company name they use for the Lt grey?

Thanks!!

As you know the standard Weta Jib is slightly larger than the self tacking Weta jib.  The leech (trailing edge) of the standard Weta Jib brushes up against the mast every time you tack.  It causes some wear, especially at the leech end of the batten pockets.  On examination of the leach, I noticed a small hole in the leech end of each batten pocket from repeated contact with the mast during tacks.  If the holes get large enough you can loose a batten which can fall out through the hole.  The two upper most battens for the standard jib are only one quarter inch wide so they can come out through even a small hole.

I suggest all Weta Sailors who use the standard jib, should examine the leech end of their batten pockets for holes developing from contact with the mast, on a regular basis.  These can be…
