That's only 7.00 a gauge. Not pad for that much paddling! So your price just went from "xx.xx" to "xx.xx + 7.00". Anyone who's dying for one of these and wants to bling up their Hawk, TT, Strom, whatever...shouldn't balk at that. After all, your time and effort into all of this is worth something, right?!

I already have a little digital tach ready for the TT that I'd bought a while back, but I may need to upgrade.... That is really cool looking and displays really well. Set this up with CSC and retire!

 my ship was a bit more handy in blue water (when it is my ass on the line, i try to get the best equipment,) still, it was25 tons, but an ocean going custom sloop, the last designed by the canuck master Stan Huntingford. He told me he put everything he knew about boats into that ship it was incredibly fast AND seaworthy .i even survived a hurricane like storm off the washington/oregon coast one time during which they lost ten ships, three or four with all hands and one of em was a close to 100 ft fishing vessel! think almost perfect storm like stuff. My mast was something over 75 ft high and more than a few waves topped it. All i could do was run like hell down wind and concentrate on steering so i didn't roll the ship- visualize surfing a 25 ton sailboat down a crashing 80 to 90 ft wave at something like 28 knots and you'll get an idea of what that 18 hours was like..... at one point i was forward trying to save the mast and rigging and got a bit careless Though safety lined, the boarding wave washed me overboard and I was being drug thru the water off the port bow head submerged,(guy who installed the lines had left them too long and i had failed to check them myself!} and when the ship rolled a bit, my father in law scrambled out onto the foredeck and pulled me back up and saved my life. Wiry little 160n lbs or so! like I've said before , some of those combat marines( Korea in his case) are some seriously useful SoBs to have around when it looks like you're azz is done for...got worse tho.. We later spent all night trying to radio-triangulate (old days guys) w a navy destroyer in order to try and locate and get to a yacht calling mayday over a rapidly weakening radio in time to save the crew and family. We didnt make it :( all we found was debris:( I still sail, but very very rarely, and far nearer the shore. Some memories are hard to shake. note:(while running before that storm, we were driven clear off my charts some 450 nautical miles into the north central pacific}
