Re: Furling boom

I don't know why people always present the past as the only true thing without having the slightest idea about new technologies and methods. Our "ancestors" built sailing boats this way because they...

Re: Top/down furler

More details on sails would help. Or do you thinking to use the top down furler with a gennaker? I used top downs on 3 different Code A2/1/0 sails Now I have a IFS Gennaker and it is a joy to furl /...

Re: Is the Dufour 530 a "bluewater" boat

If I take the 3 visits to Dufour at the last 3 (before and after Crona) BOOT Duesseldorf trade fairs alone as an evaluation, then I would never choose a Dufour for offshore.

Why?

The build...

Re: Furling boom

Many who seem to know a lot but only want to reef their mainsail in a storm. That is of course too late. If I'm in 4 meter waves and 40 knots of wind, then I've long since reefed or put up the storm...

Re: Old vs. New Style Cruisers

You compare apples and oranges. compare the PC40 against a modern 600k 40 feet yacht and not against a conveyor belt yacht.

I like the 410 layout and there is enough handles and the pantry is...

Re: Heavy sailboats are slower and

Not on broad reach and running if the hull can lift. Weight in waves beating against the wind will stop the 1000 bottle one with every nose dive much more. Even if the hull can not lift it‘s butt.

Re: Heavy sailboats are slower and

same boat, same skipper, same wind = same speed. If you add 1000 bottles of beer to one, the other one will be faster.

Compare two different boats you can reference to Yardstick or ORC Values. ORC...

Re: How do cruisers pay for boats?

The plan: Selling our house, rent a small appartment and buy a boat for 40% of the money. invest the rest of the money safely. Sailing for 1 to ? years, as long as we want or can. Pay the maintenance...

Re: Solar panel and AC advice

Hi!

Let me ask, what is your goal? Do you want it to be freezing cold or just a few degrees below the outside temperature? I know some, maybe most, Americans like it ice cold inside :-). That's...

Re: Thoughts on Wauquiez 41 Pilot Saloon

sorry, it was not my intend to paint a wrong picture. But I never would compare Wauquiez to one of the three. Total different quality. I would compare older Wauquiez to older Ben, Jan or Bav and...

Re: Thoughts on Wauquiez 41 Pilot Saloon

you see a wauquiez on the same (low) level as Bavaria or Jeanneau? I can not believe this. No way to compare the build quaility. Wauquiez is part of Beneteau. The quality section. We‘ve been to the...

Re: Thoughts on Wauquiez 41 Pilot Saloon

Hi!

Can only trll you about the PS42. Was a 2 or 2.15 Deep Keel.

Re: Beneteau vs. Jeanneau?

Just came back from a week with a Jeanneau SO 349. Sailing was excellent even in high winds (max 8+) and with pretty much used sails (charter). Very stable and the rudders are working easy and...

Re: 45-50 ft. Bluewater with a bright interior?

From a interior and quality side, check out Wauquiez Pilot Salon (42-58). The architecture gives you much more space on less feet without a DS look. Build quality is outstanding. The design, as a...
