Re: Bestevaer 49ST

Re: Bestevaer 49ST

Re: Bestevaer 49ST

Re: Bestevaer 49ST

It sometimes requires contracting leprosy! But seriously, all that room around the steering gear is really nice. One of the things I like best about this new boat is the thought that has gone into...

Re: Bestevaer 49ST

Many S&S designs of the late 60s and early 70s had single lower shrouds and a babystay to control pumping. Our Yankee 30 was one such, and the babystay was so close to the mast that it was completely...

SWL, do you happen to know how much the clutch on the Jefa draws? We have a Whitlock drive, a similar design, and on a somewhat smaller unit, the clutch draws a continuous 2 amps, which is a serious...
