Questions & Reflections on numero 1 season

[Ralph Masters]

Scoty,
You will LOVE the stern rail seats.  Worth every dollar.  I got ours from Zarcor.com if you are looking.
As for auto pilot, the Edson pedistall has a brake on it.  Crank it down.  Or put the admiral on it for a bit.

(one of the honey-do's is to put on stern rail seats!!)       I've also just completed one year with our Catalina 34.  Love the boat!!

Scotty, congratulations on your first year.  Happy Anniversary and many, many more.

We have A stern rail seat, to port.  One, not both, but I would be pleased to trace it out for you and take pictures of the hardware.  I got a new seat when the old one broke by using it as a template, buying the "starboard" 3/8" material for like less than $40 as a remnant at a plastics shop, and cut it with a friend's hand saw, and routed the edges, made a hole for the drink holder (very ! important!!! ).  The hardware is easy: an aluminum leg with a chair tip, and two rail clamps.  Easy and very frugal.  Lemme know.  Great for Mark I boats.

Hey Stu,
Why not add your "stern rail seat for Mk I boats" to the Tech Wiki project pages?  I'm sure other Mk I owners would be interested.  (I know my mate is.)

Mark, good idea.  I'll take some pitcures and measurements next week and post them.
