Re: Buying boats in Greece 2021

If I was you I’d narrow my search. Look for boats being sold privately on which VAT has been paid, AND which are currently registered in an EU state. Yes, I know there are a lot of ex-charter boats...

Re: Marinas in New York City

We stayed for a while on a mooring at the Richmond County Yacht Club on Staten Island. It’s well protected and safe. Technically, it is New York City, albeit in the borough farthest from Manhattan....

Re: Mediterranean to Australia via Suez/Indian Ocean

Sorry, I forgot to mention in my earlier reply, but I think it would be very unwise to attempt an Atlantic crossing before November. You would not enjoy the NE trades to carry you across, and there’s...

Re: How To Run Halyard Inside Mast

You get a length of plastic “strap” - the type that’s used to secure cartons around big and bulky items from the store. Feed it into the bottom of the mast and...

Re: Survey or not to survey

I can think of one thousand reasons why a survey is a necessity. Here’s a quick anecdotal one . . . ,

Re: Looking for dock/mooring for 3mo SC-FL

We left our yacht unattended at the COOPER RIVER marina just outside Charleston SC. Very secure, convenient for airport, professional service and moderately priced.
