Hi, Boatpoker,
I need your advice. I’d like to know if you think tightening the keel bolt nuts on the forward end of the keel just aft of the mast would likely stop the very slight seepage that’s started to occur there. It’s like a thimble-full or so in 24 hours. This just started a few days ago, and the only thing that I can attribute it to is having tightened the lower shrouds a while back, two full turns of the turnbuckles. I could get the boat, a Doug Peterson 35’, on the harbour grid if need be if that would be appropriate. I’ve never messed around with trying to tighten keel bolts.

Thanks in advance!

Can you please send me a list of 1996 HunterLegend 37.5 from soldboats? You sent me a list back in sept of some 89’s but the boat had already sold. Thank you

Boatpoker - I was pointed to you via one of the discussions that you have a "survey 101" document available. Can you share with me how I might go about getting my hands on the same? Thanks in advance for your assistance. CappyMc

Well the Canadian Citizenship part is OK now I just need to find someone certified to measure the boat. I always thought I might bring the boat home someday but somehow that seems less and less likely so the taxis not an issue. Did I read a post somewhere that it might be possible to provide this measuring service from overseas?

Interested in registering our vessel in Canada. Currently Caymen Isle (british) and the fees are getting ridiculous. Our current registration is 16.95 m which I believe is the stem to stern post measurement. We are a CT56, designed by Perry and built at the Ta Chiao yards in Taiwan. I am concerned about the measurement requirements. I understand you may have helped others in this process and have helped other offshore vessels. Any info you can provide is appreciated.

I should have said which of the two Port Credit locations offers a better value for money? Which is the more expensive? Does the yacht club require membership?

Thanks so much Boatpoker,
I appreciate you taking the time and providing the reference. I hope you got through the hurricane(s) without too much trouble, and I hope you enjoy the Bahamas.

Hi Boatpoker,
First off, I have often read your posts and informational pages with interest, and I have respect for your candor and clarity.
I have a Classic 37 in Whitby that I need to have surveyed for insurance. It has been on the hard for about 20 years, and I will be refitting it for some adventuring.
Please let me know if you are still in the business and able to help. If not, please send me a couple of references of folks you would trust for the job.
Thanks,
David Saunders
