Re: Tahiti as a first sailing ground ?

Tahiti and Moorea are not so hard to cruise. Pick your weather and you can easily add Huahine, Riatea, Tahaa and Bora Bora.

Re: Removing sound shield adhesive

Well the original insulation (this is a 1982 Hans Christian 33) is still in place over most of the engine compartment. It is some kind of acoustical tile, maybe 1/2" thick. It probably isn't doing...
