Perfection Plus is Killing My Budget

Perfection Plus two part clear polyurethane "varnish" is a tough, rather elastic coating and is working really well for me. Up to a point.

Re: 3.2 crashes repeatedly

Outstanding improvement. Based on short time since update to 3.2, no crashes (12 hours and counting, compared to ~10 minutes before). Much faster performance. Much better chart handling as well. ...

Re: Buying and re-selling a boat after 2 years of use in the Caribbean

About buying in Florida for a Caribbean cruise:

Not a bad idea, but you should also consider taking a look in the islands, too. For some, the USVI or BVI are the "graveyard of broken dreams"...

Re: Using Roller Furling

Have had breeze build from 10 kt to 35 kt in around 60 seconds - in clear air with no warning. It happens to the best of us. Sooner or later.

Only if you're constipated! Or don't you count coliform production and "turbidity" in the water? :devil:

Re: Crusing the Caribbean

It ain't a fubar, really, it's more that the answer is actually "all of 'em." When you ask a question with a jillion answers, it's hard to know where to start.

If she won't run away to sea, you can always trade her in. You probably won't get much for her, but it should be enough for a down payment on a real sailor chick!
