Re: Recommendations for a 5 day cat. vacation

Your budget is doable but, for a cat, you would need to make some changes. First, move your vacation time towards late summer. Second get another couple/family to take the other side and split it. ...

Re: Certifications or Licensing for insurance

Thanks for the info! I'm planning to get a few more ASA anyway, specially navigation, and the 6-pack with sailing endorsement eventually. Maybe one day you will need an extra hand when I'm ready!

Re: Certifications or Licensing for insurance

Thank you for the information. When you do deliveries, what do you look for when you hire extra hands to deliver? Would a 6 pack be favored by you over ASA Certs? I'm coming in late to the sailing...

Certifications or Licensing for insurance

I have ASA 101 & 103, and looking to purchase our first catamaran. It seems that the insurance companies will write cheaper policies with 114, but after looking at what the sailing schools would...

Re: What is the most affordable new cruising cat??

Buy something, used, cheap(for a cat), and sail it locally for a few years, then buy your forever boat. By then you may have more money to spend and know what you really want.

Re: Storm damaged Bahamas Leopards – Warning

Also keep in mind that Colin is very experienced in the systems of yachts, so the average Joe may have a much larger expense ahead of them.

I have watched Parlay since the beginning and I remember...

They discuss leaking hatches right at the beginning. IMO, i would glass it in and take my chances swimming out.

Re: Weird sale deal- what should I do?

I'm in the real estate business. All title companies require money to be wired for funding because cashiers checks are fraudulently used all the time.

Banks usually charge between $20-$30 to send...

Give the old guy his dream! It's his money and it will probably piss of a few family members. Looks like a win/win situation to me:)

Re: Multihull for first boat?

How about just learning and practicing basic sailing skills? Still think a beach cat would not have any use?

I understand that flying a hull would, or should, never be done on a cruiser cat, but...

Re: Multihull for first boat?

May I ask why this is so? I admit I am not that experienced of a sailor. But I understood a lot more about basic sailing when I did my 101 & 103 after sailing my Hobie Cat for over a year.

I'm...

Re: One thing I keep noticing about youtube videos...

Does it even matter the reason they are out there? It seems to me that many of YT videos are opening up sailing to new people. I assume most of you want this life experience promoted and growing. ...

That is what I am looking to do. I bought a cheap hobie cat 16 about 5 years ago, got ASA 101 & 103 so far, rented a 40' cat in the Abaco's last year, and will continue to get my certifications,...

Re: Prices not going down??

I agree. Actually a little inflation is what we should have had over the past 10 years. The fact we didn't was a sign everything wasnt as great as everyone thought.

Re: Used catamaran prices, availability during recession or crisis?
