Re: How important is cabin head room?

You can curl up to sleep - can't curl up to cook a meal or walk fore and aft in the cabin...

Re: A few owners too many?

Well, I'm the 3rd owner of a 50 year old boat - doesn't mean there isn't a list of things requiring attention/upgrades... A factor perhaps, but I wouldn't elevate it higher than, say, a good survey.

Re: Homemade shackles secure our boat during Harvey

Looks really good - my only observation is that your load on the cleat is higher up on than if it were closer to the base, as in a traditional tie. This could create leverage against the mounting...

Re: How Old is Too Old?

My Corsair is a mere 50 years young and she sails fine on original sails and running rigging of indeterminate age. Gelcoat still looks good. Still sorting out some items, and she's never going to...

Re: Is there opportunity here?

Reminds me of a mantra on a forum specializing in German cars where the engine is (properly) in the back: "buy the newest one you can, in the best condition you can afford"
