Steve/Linda: We have been searching in vain through the net to find a new—as opposed to a collectible—taffrail log. Does anyone still produce these devices or have they gone the way of the buggy whip? Any advice on procuring one would be appreciated. TIM & MELISSE
We have not used our log for 20 years. Not sure where you might find one. But I would try a professional navigation supply outfit like Safe Navigation in Long Beach CA, or Bluewater Books and Charts in Fort Lauderdale. Steve
Follow-up suggestion from a SetSail visitor:
for taffrail logs; look on ebay–they have a variety of used to nearly new logs available–if they do not have what you what, then check back every week. I have purchased three logs–a walker and two Negus, the walker like new, one negus like new and one negus well used but working great. expect to pay about $200-250 – John
