Re: Cost of Standing Rigging Repalcement

Depends, if they bring in a crane to get to where your boat is on the hard that sounds about right with the minimum time charges from a crane service for two trips.

Not really enough details to...

Re: Tiller vs Wheel

Depends on the boat, for day use and the odd weekend I'd be looking for something "sporty" and fun. For that I'd prefer tiller. And probably under 30'.
For me I'd be taking a look a Jboats and the...

Re: CS 33 Shoal draft sailing qualities.

Strange, don't get it. 5'9" draft on a 33 foot fin keel isn't what I consider deep anyway especially if you look at the boat I really want at 7.25' for a large 34!
That should really p.o. of some of...

Re: Soft decks

My guess is it's something like Gorilla Glue (GG), a liquid that foams up and cures in the presence of moisture. That stuff stick just about anything to anything but it's not magic, you still have to...

Re: CS 33 Shoal draft sailing qualities.

I hear ya, not just an issue on Cs's. Seems to be a common point of failure on many of the "grid boats".

Seen and heard some interesting/horrific things when the crane sets a boat on the cradle...

Re: CS 33 Shoal draft sailing qualities.

Thanks for the reply, even though CS's are great boats I'm not willing to give up windward performance when there is a deep draft version.
Different if a boat is designed that way from the start,...

Re: CS 33 Shoal draft sailing qualities.

Thanks, I looked through there and read Pats review last night, nobody wants to talk about the shoal draft version for some reason.

Re: CS 33 Shoal draft sailing qualities.

I'll accept that I won't be happy with the performance of the boat and won't bother looking at it.
Thanks for the info.

Re: CS 33 Shoal draft sailing qualities.

Thanks Robert, I'm very familiar with the brand and have sailed the standard draft 33, plus dozens of 27 and 30's. If I wasn't a 99% of the time solo sailor the 36 would be near the top of my list....

Re: "Elevated moisture levels"

There is wet core then there is wet core.
Despite what the owners might think there probably isn't a boat of any age with a cored deck that doesn't have SOME moisture somewhere.
It depends on where...

Re: Great Lakes HIGH water levels

Re: Red Diesel, Brexit and the EU

What does red fuel in Europe mean? Here (Canada) it doesn't mean duty free it means it hasn't had road taxes applied to it.

Re: Looking at buying a C&C 29
