this blog is to help me remember the timeline and history of my 2 sailboats, the sailing trips that I take with them, and the repairs and upgrades that I work on to improve the boats.
I’m currently keeping busy as husband to one lovely wife, father to 3 young boys, and am hoping to start teaching them to sail in the next few years.
as I live in Michigan, my sailing season is rather short, so I will randomly post about other types of sailing or similar watersports. I’ll also occasionally post about other things that my family or I have been doing other than sailing, and maybe once in a while post about music and things of the like that catch my interest.

Hi There,
I saw on the site that you installed a mast cleat. Do you use special screws? Drill pilot holes and screw the cleat in? Simple as that?

Peter – I used #10 stainless steel sheet metal screws, and I did pre-drill the mast with small pilot holes. I also used the 3M 4200 sealant behind the cleat. See my post about the mast upgrades for reference and pictures.
thanks for visiting!
