Check over our “User Ads” There could be something of interest for you or someone you know who doesn’t yet have all the computin’ type of equipment yet to find out about these items.  You can always “pass the word” to your friends or just buy something for them and imagine how surprised they’ll be!

If you’re interested in buying or selling a Nordica or Halman boat or equipment and would like to have a note shown here with your E-mail address, let me know. The details and exchanges are totally between you and your contacts and I’ll leave your note on the site until you buy/sell within a 6 month period or until I can’t reach you by that email address. If you’ve got photos, send them along and we’ll try to include them as well. We will add new listings on top along with an approximate date when they were first setup - LM

I could use your help with something that has been brought to my attention several times lately... Readers have been reporting that there are some “dead-end” emails lingering within the “User Ads” section and when an interested party sends an email and cannot get an answer after multiple tries... they tend to send me an email and ask “what’s up Doc?” - I have tried to be generous and put ads on line without charge and then leave them there for quite a long time. So here’s what we’re going to do. From now on, I’ll continue to put up the same types of ads, still no costs to you... but will remove it after six months or sooner if I cannot reach you by the email provided. Chances are, you’ve found something else to worry about in that time anyway so I still think that’s a pretty good deal. In the mean time, if you send an email to someone and do not get an answer after a couple of tries... let me know and the ad will fade away into cyberspace without a problem. There’s no point in keeping them on-line if they’re not serving some purpose to someone so let’s see how this works out. Thanks - LM

Looking For - Here’s a request that quite a lot of readers have made and so far I’ve not received much in the way of support for them. Does anyone have any sketches, drawings or photos of how their N-16 is rigged? If it’s photos, they have to be pretty detailed to tell much and if you’ve made some sort of hand sketches, it might be very helpful. The most recent request comes from Capn’ Paul and he’s simply trying to make heads or tails out of some of the old and seemingly newer rigging locations in the hull. After some new ones are drilled and others puttied over, it’s hard to know what “should have been done!” Send me an email if you have something to offer and we’ll get it published on the site for others. Thanks. [Lmay@nordicaboats.com]

                  Check the bottom of the N-16 page... there’s a link to several nice photos.

Resource - One of our readers has just sent the following address to check out [http://www.baconsails.com] and find the I (P2), J, or P or E dimensions of most sails made. It will also give you a list of “suitable” sails available that they say will work well with your vessel. Looks like a good address to hang on to....Give it a try ....
