Hi everyone,
I hope someone can help me out - what size reefing claw should I have on my Ballad?
Thanks,
Lew

Jesper: The photos of how you repowered with a Yanmar did not show up when I viewed your posting. Would you mind e-mailing them to me, I have a 1978 that needs to be repowered and the Yanmar looks to be the best solution. My e-mail address is amelnick@comcast.net. Thanks, Alec

I am hoping to improve my anchoring system which at present involves lugging the anchor out of a cockpit locker on to the deck, likewise the anchor chain that I keep in the bilge! Getting a bit old now and would like an option of keeping the anchor on the foredeck while cruising and making a chain locker, and I might even go so far as to install an anchor winch on the foredeck. Any tips (if possible with photos) from someone who has made these alterations.

Thanks

David

Hello folks, I am in the process of building a trailer for my Ballad. Could anyone tell me if they have a trailer for the Ballad and if they can post the dimensions of the axles width, the stands positions and the tongue length. The boat will be transported on US and Canadian Hwy.

Cheers, Edgard

Hi Jesper, have you sold your Ballad yet? Is the new site getting any more use?

Jesper,
I had the msn-link, but had not seen this one. Great work and an asset for any Ballad owner.

I'm getting ready to reinstall my Volvo Penta engine in my boat. This may seem like a silly question to some - where is the shaft packing water leakage go (traditional flax packing gland)? On my boat there is no drain points in the engine compartment, water - if leaking from the shaft, must have been filling the engine compartment before overflowing. Has anyone thought of installing a partition between the packing gland and the engine compartment with a drain? This would make sure that no oil contamination would make it into the bilge from the this condition. Does anyone have a similar engine compartment set up? My boat is a '73.

Someone was asking about a mast gate for a Selden mast. I have made one for my Ballad's Ambau mast from an aluminium threshold strip used for carpet. If I can remember my sign in, I will send a photo.
