Wifey B: Wow....that shivers me timbers. So lucky to survive. I'm sure survival time in those waters would be very short. I'm just glad they were rescued so promptly. :)

Also, one can add Yacht Controller or Dockmate or additional controls or docking stations to a boat fairly easily so they can dock from the side deck or stern or bow.

CG Registration is also LOA. However, model numbers and LOA have no connection. Don't think of model numbers as lengths.

Yes. It is one or the other, depending on point of view and which boat and when and where built. In general, the quality of build is good, but it's also a value boat in that may use less expensive...

Pick up the phone and give them a call while you're on the boat.

I know, as a society, we've steered people away from phone calls, but in so many situations they're the most effective means of...
