I read the same thing, that's kind of what makes me think about using my MS Pilot 34. I have a range of 350-400 miles at 2500 rpm (12-14 kts) depending on wind and seas.

Hmmmm, there seems to be no room for active or passive stabilization on my little MS Pilot 34. I may have to do some serious creative thinking.

Good to know, thanks. Would it be safe to say that the winds are calmer and the seas a little lower in the predawn and early morning hours than they would be in the afternoon?

Stabilizer system for anchoring... Do you mean something like flopper stoppers?

Good advice, I'll keep it in mind. When I brought the boat home, from NJ to NY, we were in 4-6' seas with a 9 second period. It looked and felt like a very comfortable ride for the 25 nm ride into NY Harbor.

We purchased a 2000 Mainship Pilot 34 in May 2017. Providence has a 36" draft, 12' beam, 36' LOA. She carries 250 gal of fuel and 70 gal of water. Her 350 hp Yanmar powers her nicely. We can get 10 gph at 2600 RPM, say 12-13 knots and only sips fuel at 7 ish knots. We bought the boat now so we...

We have a smaller boat, a Mainship Pilot 34, and anchor out often in the Thousand Islands of the St Lawrence River. We have a Rocna Vulcan 20 (44lb) anchor on our boat and we love it. We don't drag anchor, at least not yet anyway. I got the largest I believe my windlass can handle. You cannot be...

We bought the boat now with the intent to get used to her and fine tune her equipment for a trip around the Great Loop when we retire. Seven more years...sigh. Until then, lots of cruising on the Thousand Islands and Lake Ontario.

So we did it!! We brought her home!! Our trip was spectacular!!! We were more than a little nervous about heading out into the open Atlantic but due diligence paid off and we had a smooth run into NY Harbor. We spent the night at Liberty Landing marina and enjoyed "Safe Arrival" drinks with...

Howdy, I'm new to this site and still exploring. Our home port is Wellesley Island, one of the Thousand Islands on the St. Lawrence River on the New York / Canada border. We have been boating in these waters for several years and wished we could go further and stay longer. Well, as of tomorrow...
