Bobcat in Vermillion
This is Bobcat #954, docked on the river in Vermillion, Ohio. This was our first "shake down" cruise since we bought the boat in April. This was a 4 1/2 hour sail, west of Cleveland.

Into the Pedestal We Go: Replacing Steering Chain and Wire
By Nelson Lee
This project came about because it seemed time to replace the chain/wire in the Edson pedestal steering system on my 1991 C36. Although I am not the original owner, I had a nagging suspicion the chain/wire was original. I’m sure of that now.
Hilbre, in 15 kts off Palos Verdes
Hilbre, John Meyer's 2003 C36 Mk II, #2135, in 15 kts wind off Palos Verdes en-route to Avalon, Catalina. Photo taken April 1, 2010, showing what spring sailing in California is like.
John says, "Not quite hull speed, but a great day of sailing with a nice steady and consistent wind. Makes me feel good about moving her off Lake Mead to the ocean last year. Planning on maybe an Ensenada trip in July."
