Re: Sundeck trawler's stability, sea-worthiness, sea-kindliness

FF* Sorry to hear of your friend losing his vessel. Why was he out and about in very bad weather to begin with? Hardly the boat's fault.

Until only a few years ago too many vessels were made with air intakes no more than 3-4 feet above the water line and on outside of hull. Careful boat shopping should avoid this problem.

Seasick? Try ginger. We are currently with another couple and she always gets sick. Yesterday in rough water she had no problem after dosing with ginger tablets from Walgreen.
