Re: cheoy lee 52 motorsailer owners in Aus

Re: Broken Lagoon

Im not sure how well the charter business is fairing right now. Seems like a lot of countries are still locked down with travel bans in place.

Re: plumbing broken -- underway on delivery voyage

Yes, I have seen this many times on land based systems. Tanks have a conduit welded in the tank and the fluid pipe passes through the conduit with space to spare on either side of the pipe wall (air...

Re: What's the deal with Marina's in Monterey Bay, CA?

The power plant at moss landing is non operational . PGE stopped using it years ago. So the ash from the smokestacks is no longer an issue.

I dont think there is a waitlist there. If you want a...

Re: Pillar Point Harbor Half Moon Bay

PPH likely has a pretty sever swell surge at certain times. I don't know for sure, but Santa Cruz down the coast has a bad surge at times.

Re: California based sailor looking to finance used boat

I think you may be out of luck unless you can find a boat that is less than 15 years old. That is the magic number to get the low interest boat loans.

Re: California based sailor looking to finance used boat

What is that supposed to mean? Financing half a boat is hardly risky behavior.

Plus you are wrong. Boats do increase in value. Ever heard of covid? That time when boats doubled in value?

Re: Non-resident cruising in California

Yes. What he said. I'm guessing washington collects property rax on boats too? If so you will have to pay property tax somewhere if one of them asks you. The two tax offices will contact each other...

Re: 40’ plus trawler project
