Re: Contessa 35 information is Rare

Oops sorry, the Contessa I was referring to was called Bootlicker.
The Contessa 35 range was based on the Doug Petersen designed One Tonner called Gumboots.

Re: Med Marine from South Africa

Good evening,
I don't think any of the Montevideo's or Monte Carlo 43's would have been built with a balsa core. Those boats would have been solid laminates back in the 1980's.
But checking if a...

Re: Question 26ft Aluminium monohull Dewar Sloop

There you go!

Congrats. That looks like a neat and well kitted out boat. I'm glad you found a good boat. Where was the boat lying? I'm trying to figure out where that is.

Re: Port Elizabeth or Durban?

Good afternoon,
The normal practice is to touch African soil in Richards's Bay or Durban. Cruisers then try and get as far south down the coast as they can with a following breeze. So most of them...

Good afternoon,
No, but I saw the advert on Gumtree. Move on.

There are better boats available in that size and price range in SA. Look in SA Sailing mag's classifieds.
There is a Contessa 26....

Re: Corsair in a slip

I had an F9AX for a few years and kept it in a small marina where there was no room to "swing a cat".

Re: 30' Royal Cape One

Good evening,

A standard autopilot (tillerpilot) will be quick and easy to fit.

As said above, a windvane selfsteering will pay for itself too. These boats are skinny and will sail well on a...

Re: 30' Royal Cape One

Good evening,

Yep, it is.
It will be spartan living, but if the boat is still sound, it will take whatever the ocean throws at you.

You're asking about folding the boat while afloat, before entering a marina.
Yes, you can, easily, and that is how they are designed to function. You launch and retrieve...

Hi topfish,
