That 3rd photo gets my juices flowing...
dhmeisaner,
I see some long and narrow in those pics. The UK has much higher fuel tax. I think gas is about $8 a gallon ..... what is it you're there.
Love those pics. Character in all the boats I see.
Umm, Jungle Jim I think you need to be in the classified section, not here.
Oops, maybe it wasn't a for sale ad Jungle Jim, but it did rather sound like it, so shall we leave it in classifieds..? You never know, you might get an offer you can't refuse...Andy G, sorry if my post resembled a "for sale" ad, but my intent was to identify a common problem that a lot of Taiwan-built Trawler Yachts seem to have, that in spite of wonderful hulls, the construction of the cabins seems to be a "weak link" in them, though that varies not only in the brand-names (many different "brands" are actually produced in the same factories), but within the same brands, dependent upon which "family" actually performed the build-out of the cabins. For example, the Kady-Krogens are built in the same plant as the Chien Hwa's, but the Chung Hwa's are built in another plant nearly 50 miles SW, so even "CHB" has differences. Examining my neighbor's 37' as compared to my 39', the differences seem subtle at first, since at first glance one would think them nearly twin sisters, but they are really very different boats. Had I only known how much the differences were, I would for sure have used much closer scrutiny before buying the one I did.
Perhaps "General Maintenance" or "General Discussion".
It dosn't belong here on "interesting Boats" ..... clearly not.
And you can't blame our new guy for putting it here as you moderators are having difficulty w where to put it.
And I'll also say it's an interesting topic and very applicable and important to many as rotten decks and/or cabins is not uncommon at all. We should have discussed this one to death 100 times already.
Mr Thorton Grenfell was a local BC designer / builder based in Vancouver. These are a few pics taken from a party held a few years back. I have posted these before.
Pictures provided to me from Bruce Claridge who created a wonderfull book of the first Rendezvous.
Starfire is a Bill Garden design buit by Philbrooks. She is located here at the marina currently. Twin 12 71 NA. Too much boat for the likes of me but I am in love.

And available at a very low price currently.......
What's really wonderful about these boats (Garden did this arrangement in various sizes) is that most of the interior and the cockpit are all on one level, stem to stern.......
