Links

I started this site to document the restoration of Winterhawk, if you found this site randomly, you’re probably scouring the web for information on sailboats for your own project.

I really like this site: http://www.ramoak.com/yankee30/ largely because it too is a Yankee 30, but also because it is current and the boat is in similar condition to Winterhawk.

If you’re looking for tips and ideas, this will be a good site to watch.
I also recommend a few books. The finely Fitted Yacht, and From a Bare Hull.

And while I’m dropping links, this one is great: http://www.sailtransportcompany.com/ A friend Bob is sailing his Yankee 30 in the Puget Sound delivering produce. Check it out, if you’re in the Seattle/ Ballard area you can sign up for a delivery.

Here is a link I found the other day. I’m going to give this a try. http://www.fieldlines.com/story/2007/1/28/215243/977
The Dr. Led lights I bought for the Westerly died with in a year. After a round of warranty replacements that also died after a year (and being a bitchy customer) They gave me a deal on the new “hi flux” lights. These do put out better light but they cost $75. Putting 10 on the boat isn’t cheap.

I’d like to start adding links to great sites about sailboat restoration. If you have a favorite, send it my way.
