Any Ideas?
Looking for 1/2" A-A.
I found some A-B grade.
What does B grade teak look like?

I'm having problems with 2 separate stink/cleaning problems which
would not be problems if the boat were she launched & able to slosh

wood.
I have a friend who purchased a sauerkraut factory - complete with
tanks! He has about 50,000 board feet of old growth cypress ~(1-3/4 -

I have a 13' fiberglass sailboat.  I bought it 3 years ago for almost

the right length and payload capacity for my boat.  Unfortunately, the
beam is over a foot too narrow. Guess I'll have to sell it and get
another trailer the right size.  I lose more money that way!  :-)

I am interested in living on a houseboat, in an
area where it's legal to do it. I'm considering the
Chattanooga area at this time. I don't really
care to be in the city, but something within

Can anyone suggest a way to stop leakage through narrow gaps between
an iron keel shoe and a bilge keel?
The gaps are relative short (a centimetre or three), and possibly the
