I am working on
purchasing a Defever 43 (1980 vuntage)
Past Rag Salor:
Pearson 43.
DRAFT 6.5' 58' stick
We had our
boat Shazam for 25 years, Cruised the
Great Lakes,
ICW -
East Coast,
Mississippi River, Keys,
Gulf of Mexico including Windwards, Leewards,
Central America, North
South America, Lived in
Puerto Rico (Culebra) and just seemed to be getting too old for a larger Sailboat. Cold Damp crossings, foredeck
work etc too much.
Now we look forward to a more comfortable cruising lifestyle in a MUCH larger living space of a Defever. Air, Heat, Stabalized, all sorts of electronic stuff.
My wife: Captn Judy has a 50 ton Sail Masters and has held it for 27 years
Me: Captn Rich 100 Ton Sail Masters for 32 Years.
Both of us have had Advanced Celestial but seldom use it after
GPS
Pensacola home.
Looking forward to hearing from some of you.
By the way.. am looking for the following to go with the Defever
75# REAL
CQR
Watermaker 15 to 30 GPH
Any comments by Defever owners.
