Re: Two weeks on the Great Lakes in June - suggestions?

For German passport holders, to enter the U.S. By boat or car you may need an entry visas. You are taking chances if you think you can just call in at a U.S. Border crossing by boat without an entry...

Re: Made an Offer on boat!

Great boat, been watching it awhile. You beat me to it, was going to drive down from Canada to have a look next week. You saved me a road trip. Good luck and enjoy :)

Re: Two weeks on the Great Lakes in June - suggestions?

Gore Bay charter fleet is extensive and relatively new (and kept new) and up to 50+ feet. The anchorages are all only a couple hours away. If I were going that early in the season, I'll take the...

Re: West Marine changing strategies: likely de-emphasising sailing related support

Sad :( Really liked their annual catalogue, very informative, a great resource. Hope they will continue that part. Boating recreation in Canada, IMHO, has declined or at least stagnated through the...

Re: Georgian Bay Sailing

Bayfield and Goderich (Kincardine too) are two (three) idealic communities along the Canadian shore. Stokes Bay is a great anchorage for a few days of quite time. Very few boats will be anchored...

Re: Great Boats at Great Prices?

Haven't noticed anyone recognizing the Formosa's, all of them, and CT's. Maybe I missed, but certainly they are ocean worthy, though high maintenance, as with all semi production boats from Hong Kong...

Cool Re: On board clothes washing machine

Rumour has it that Gunkylump has an addition to his fleet. A very nice Stevens 47 perhaps?

Re: Can You Help Settle an Argument?

Maybe in 10 years. Of course we all want to minimize our impact on the environment, however the technology is in its infancy. We will get there, and some with a lot of money may participate in this...

Re: Disaster Response Fleet (for the Remote Islands)

Google S/V Brickhouse blog, and you will find that the remote SP remote island villagers need medical support anytime and all the time, as their most recent post demonstrates. Fascinating account of...

Re: Small live-aboard for under $8,000

Catalina 27. Perfect boat in that price range, (turnkey to boot) and many to chose from. Standing headroom, inboard engine, and plenty of living space for even 2 people. Coastal cruising, maybe a hop...

Re: I give up!

Bluesphere has it right, and I have been following his blog a long time. Perhaps you should visit his website, and you will see and read of the hardships and perseverance he displayed that brought...

Re: Cuba, 1 to 2 months...join in a week or so.

Re: 1978 Columbia 8.7 29' or 1982 Hunter 25'

10' of beam, and 6'2" of head room. Columbia 8.7 for sure. I own the last of the Canadian built Hughes 8.7's for 10 years now. It is a solid but it is a cruiser, not a racer. Sails well in all wind...

Re: What are your Voyaging Hopes, Plans, Dreams or Vague Intentions for some day!

Have been sailing for over 40 years. When I was young it was a romantic notion to sail around the World. After university and start of a career (busy busy busy), it later became a dream to sail...

Docking incidences will eventually happen to most skippers eventually. I hit exceedingly hard once with a slight tail wind. I wasn't going fast at all, put it into reverse a few feet before my bow...

Re: buying a sailboat

Catalina 320 (early 2000's) has all you asked for, AC, usually electric windlass and may have in-mast roller furling. Great practical boat for small family. And sails well too, with lots of factory...

Re: Sailing the Jib...

My experience is: each make/design has different sailing characteristics. My boat sails just fine up to 20 knots of wind with headsail (150%) only...with slight to moderate weather helm. After 20...
