Hi Apneseth,

Thanks for your comments. I've too have been very aware of headroom in both the saloon and the hulls not to mention the bunk sizes but I'm only 6'0" so have little to worry about...

Physics..

I'd say that a capsize caused by collision has more to do with the laws of physics than size, design etc. In particular if the crew were running under spinnaker this would (I believe) only accentuate...

Hi Guys,

Hi John,
Many thanks for the clarification. Now I understand how it works. I now also understand why people have been asking when, if they buy a boat on which VAT / duty / GST has already been paid...

I too am looking at buying a boat overseas (I'm in Oz) and am thoroughly confused by talk of VAT or Tax Paid / Unpaid / or partly paid. I'm wondering what implication these tax statuses...

Voltages and buying a cat

Thanks again for the info on voltages, Eleven. I don't suppose you would know what's involved in converting a U.S. boat that's wired for 110vac to 220/240vac? Is it just a matter of changing the...

Charter boat, what charter boat?

What sort of cat is it that you're hauling out? I'm in the market for something in the 38' to 44' range also because of the strength of the Aussie dollar. Are you planning on...
