Re: Mexico customs-TIP Beware

We’ve had a place in Mexico since 1999 and have brought a lot of thing in over the years. Always have a receipt. Most times they just wave us through. But sometimes they check. Print one up on...

Re: Free Advice from an actively-looking buyer

Maybe I should add, that with clean photos and a realistic price, I've had a contract within a week on every boat I've sold. Without a broker.

The photos were important, but a realistic price...

Re: Free Advice from an actively-looking buyer

I agree with the OP. When I see pictures with crap everywhere, I always move on. I assume sloppy housekeeping equals sloppy maintenance.


Maybe that's why my last two boats were new.

Re: Converting a jib to be self-tacking

I had this problem tensioning the luff and also the foot on my last boat, which was self tacking. I was stuck with one angle of pull and could not pull down or back as needed. Always seemed to be...

overpriced storm damaged catamarans40

I had an 8 1/2 month old monohull totaled. Estimated repair costs were about $300,000. I found online that is was purchased, at auction, for just over $50,000.

I don't think they could ever...

Our insurance company claimed they could fix our boat for $200,000 to $300,000. I said no and told them I would get Geoff Williams (who I've used before) in Nanny Cay to do a survey on our behalf. ...

Re: Choosing between Beneteau and Dufour

Yes after I posted, I decided that I had been too snarky. I apologize for that. My problem with your post was your assertion of a >70% rate of major problems.

Re: Choosing between Beneteau and Dufour

I call Bull. No one out side of the Dufour warranty department would have that sort of information. Since your profile says you live in Germany, that would rule you out. So do you work for a...

Re: First-time boat owner - 41' Rhodes Bounty II

I feel your pain. Irma killed my lady also. But she wasn't a classic (8 1/2 months old) and much more easily replaced. I'm heading to the boat show in Annapolis this weekend to try again.

Re: Trailer question...cradle or jackstands

My previous boat was a Catalina 30 with a wing keel. I had it moved a couple of hundred miles on a tractor trailer. We used the cradle. I liked that better since I knew it would hold together if...

Re: Choosing between beneteau and dufour

We just took delivery of a new Dufour 460 GL. So far we are very pleased. I have only had her out in light airs so far but she sailed well. We find her stable, roomy and my wife loves the forward...

Re: Sell the boat or keep it?

It's simple. Do what feels good. I started out with Optimists then Thistle class then a 25 footer then a Catalina 30 on to my current 46 footer. At age 62, I can see myself reversing the process....
