I want to buy a 29-32 foot sail boat. In the SF Bay area.
What should i check as far a electrical, pumps.
And how would i go about makeing sure the keel in not all dinged up? or is there even a point to ferivying the hull

Also if a late 70's early 80's 30 foot sail boat is for sail for around $4000 is it doomed to have something wrong with it?

I know it's called tacking, but I just can't see how it works!

I don't understand how submarines navigate over long distances, under water. You cannot see, so a map is no good. GPS would not work under water. Sonar would only work if you had a 3D map of the whole sea bed. A compass and timing would be too inaccurate. Perhaps some kind of inertial reference system using gyroscopes?

I plan on building a plywood boat and will buy plans.But was wondering about the thickness of the plywood to use and can I just use regular plywood (exterior use type ) instead of marine plywood.And do I have to steam the plywood for bending into shape for the sides as the bottom will be flat?I plan to incorporate the ribs into the seats to cut down on the amount of plywood I use.I plan to use a thicker wood , probably planks or solid pieces of timber for the transom.Also I don't know if it is worth it to use epoxy for waterproofing the boat.I do plan now to use galvanized,stainless steel, bronze or brass screws.

The setup is quite straightforward. I am running two step up (12 - 24volt) dc to dc chargers, but have decided I want to run my motors at 48volt instead of the originally planned 24v. So I'm a bit stuck unless I can figure out a way to charge the 48volt bank with the two 24volt chargers I have.

I need to continue charging while actually using the motors, so I cannot do the obvious (switch/disconnect) method.

Appreciate your help.

I plan to use plywood for the sides and for a template for the shape I would use masonite or hardboard.Also I will use ribs on the inside and incorporate seats into the ribs or visa versa.I would use epoxy for a finish and then sand with aluminum oxide sandpaper.Then i would finish with a few coats of marine paint or at least an oil base paint.Any ideas would be appreciated, especially about the screws.

I want to stop a leaking rivited aluminum boat (old boat) from leaking. I use the boat as a duck boat -5-6 times per year. I heard that some people have fiberglassed the leaking area. Does this work. If so, I would like to know how to fiberglass. The job does not have to look pretty, just functional.
