OSSA Powerlite for L40? L46?

Well, Jeff, I can't speak for them so you'll have to ask The Moorings that question directly.

There are two contacts I'd point you to:

Peter Wiersema is in charge of Leopard sales. His email...

Exhaust Leak

Oh, I forgot one more minor thing:

We noticed the boat was quite smokey after Miami. When we checked, we found that there's a little cover plate in the exhaust system which had worked loose...

GB @ Oakland?

I actually don't know - though I'd predict that Glacier Bay will be there at least, since it's just down the street for them. I'll ask.

Can Tortola Base maintain electrics?

The electrics on the E43 are very simple. The base crew have already swapped a motor out "unsupervised", and they really don't need to mess with any of the systems....

e40 and e46?

Jeff:

Moorings didn't announce anything, so I can't comment for them.

FYI - the standard Leopard 40 and Leopard 46 hulls use saildrives, whereas the standard Leopard 43 is shaft. My E43 is...

Hybrids for Charter
