Just to let you know that I purchased the new book "The Instant Handbook of Boat Handling, Navigation, and Seamanship" that was in the current Sail magazine ($24.95) from Target online for only $16.47 + SH for a total of $20.46. Excellent ref. guide.

Also found this item at CatalinaOwners web site. Any thoughts on it?



I hope this comes through. If not it is a power thruster for an OB on sailboats. a two piece metal attachment to the OB

I have no experience with those thrusters but have been fascinated by them. The claims that the vendors make are impressive. Let's hope someone with experience replies.

Here's a thread from the archives that includes someone who actually installed one of these:
