re: Goretex

It's not necessarily old hat but there are fabrics that work as good or better these days. I like Pertex for sleeping bags.

Re: What brand of camera do you carry onboard?

Dock those Leica lenses are begging for an Olympus OMD.

Re: Is the Cruising Lifestyle Dying ?

The average age of the circumnavigator has been over 55 for a very long time. It has everything to do with money.

Re: Needed: Recommendations for Folding Bicycles

Actually I believe they are fairly simple to ride. They work on heavy gyroscopic principles. Certainly way more stowable than a bicycle.

Re: Where do I start?

Craigslist has some good finds and there are apps for your smartphone which will search every city. I search for things like bowsprit, gaffer, full keel, boomkin, bluewater, topsail and such.

Re: What Makes a Boat "Bluewater" Capable?

He's also building 45,000# 60's with a 7 foot draft. You don't see too many 60-70 yachts with full keels anymore. It would cost a fortune.

Not everyone is Lord Nelson so they might want to choose a vessel more worthy than another is what I'm saying.

Re: What makes a boat "Bluewater" capable?

Like I said many here take it all back to the skipper. There are some things the skipper can't do like add to the ballast to weight ratio

Re: What makes a boat "Bluewater" capable?

Sailors put a lot of stock in the "skipper" and rightly so; but this can be self ingratiating. How many 35,000# full keel boats have washed up or been found adrift in perfect condition long after the...

Re: Is the Market Really this Bad ?

I hate to break it to you but if you account for inflation you're down about 45K. However if you invested the money you saved on a mortgage you might break even. You've got to live somewhere. However...
