Re: Pros & Cons - CT41 Formosa

Sounds like you've got a good plan Vino. The one we crewed was a pleasure to sail. We couldn’t believe how well it went with just Genoa and Mizzen up. Handled a storm we found ourselves in nicely...

Re: Pros & Cons - CT41 Formosa

My wife and I crewed on one in South East Asia for a month or so in 2011. Poor ventilation below and seriously hot below decks in the tropics. She cruised OK though. We'd heard of the rot problem in...

Re: Lagoon 450 (Next Life) damaged in the Exuma, The Bahamas

Just so sad to hear of anyone losing a boat. Fortunately all onboard are OK which is the most important thing. So sorry for Rolf.
