We have a 34 CHB with a single 120 Lehman. On my last visit to the engine room, (with engine cold/switches off...ran a week previously) I felt the alternator was hot. Is it connected up wrong, or what? We have used it like this for a while...since I replaced due to an old low output on the...

Today is the last day for comments to the BC government regarding the proposed dock management plan. Currently for the Sunshine Coast, but to be a template for the whole province...lakes too. Please send your concerns in... https://comment.nrs.gov.bc.ca/applic...on.org#details

What started as a local dock management plan in Pender Harbour has spread to the majority of the Sunshine Coast and is said to be a template for the whole of BC. Now this is looking like part of a much larger move to change the BC land act. The provincial government is proposing changes to the...

Yes, read here from our local newspaper... https://www.coastreporter.net/local-news/swiya-wide-dock-management-plan-proposed-7883178

Not a pleasant time for all of the boat owners involved. Plus the fact that there also liveaboards and so few affordable options for housing in Vancouver/ lower mainland. Add to this, the Sunshine Coast is now seeing a impending ban on many docks and boathouses in light of a just released dock...

mvweebles...Nice Willard model...where was that? lwarden...the process starts with drawing info (hopefully there is some). I have built a few models with do drawings so I had to "design" them myself and create somewhat simple shop drawings to build to, but this takes time / more $$. For the...

Nice! They built quite a few of those GB rc models. I do hope someone is continuing offering these and making use of all of the molds and related tooling/jigs/files to make them.

These are all custom commissions and built exactly to the drawings and represent hundreds of hours of labour. Price depends on the particular boat in question, model scale, detail level, etc. So...they are more than a few hundred bucks! I've built simple little ones for $1200 and large museum...

...shall I stop??:)

This is another 65 footer...the "Chinook Post" built by Philbrooks, again, here in BC. This model is also 26" long. The yacht has changed hands and is now called "Umiak V".

Here's the Wanderbird" a 65' trawler yacht built by Park Isle Marine here in BC. Model is 26" long.

...and one for a customer in Florida...a 1964 57' Chris Craft Constellation at 30" long...
