Re: Modernizing a Prout Elite 37ft

What self respecting sailor wants to go to windward anyway?

Re: Curtain Hanging

We use a piece of 3mm ply held in place with suckers that stick directly to the Perspex (we got a carton with 24 suckers with hooks from a pound shop). In the UK they last quite a while but I don't...

Re: Top Ten Suggestions for Tropical Sailing

40ft air hose, what a brilliant idea, I lost my sunglasses and a drop nose pin on my mooring last week, but doing the whole scuba thing was too much of a chore but a 40ft hose would have done it and...

Re: First Time Sailboat Buyer, with the Intention to Live Aboard (Tampa Bay Area)

Re: 1st Time "LiveAboard" Need Help Budgeting Annually

Re: Looking for a Good Sloop to Sail Blue Waters Solo

Keep a lookout for a Vancouver (27, 32 or 34), very good sea boat, my 27 Cacique circumnavigated 1990 to 93. She is for sale but is in the UK so probably not for you.
Good luck with your search.

Re: Shoestring Sailors (Cruising on $500 per month - part II)

I'm sure only the very worst boats have to be scrapped, there is allways someone to take them and do something with them, I've seen a rowing boat made into a porch and many little boats made into...

Re: MacWester 26 and the 'hina-ous' Crew

She's looking great. It's amazing when you look at what you started with. It only took a little blood sweat and tears no doubt. ;)
