    GB 36 Generator upgrade

    1994 GB Classic - #1062 Westerbeke 5kw. Nothing ever an issue and the boat does not need any more. Quiet, efficient, awesom.

    I like to entertain, fish, and overnight. Is the GB 32 sedan good for this?

    Our 36 did 8 1/2- 9/12 with no problem at 2150 rpm, of course the bottom was always clean. Lots and lots of people here never or Seldom clean the bottoms of their boats and wonder why they are so slow. Funny. Go for it. GB 32/36 are amazing boats.

    FNG, 32' GB restoration project

    I have used varnish, but I do love the rails exactly as you have them. Oil is probably easier to maintain and looks exquisite.

    As a racing sailor all my life, and every time I comment on this site I am dismissed and denigrated, but honestly…………call the folks at Harken. Tell them your concerns. We raced 73 foot ocean racers and dinghy’s………….never was any question too small. You will never get what you want here. Sorry...

    Is this a failed bottom paint job?

    Well thank you. I do not offer anything as an opinion, I offer it as fact. Good luck. Don’t contact me again.

    Is this a failed bottom paint job?

    Honestly. The only bottom paint, Newport, Jamestown and all the way south…..no one there uses anything but SEA HAWk. NO ONE. None of them ever send a boat south without it, and it is absolutely better and far less expensive than your other options, and no one, including the top sailing ocean...

    Bow or Stern Thruster

    I would agree that a professional like Captain Chris in Vero Beach could help you understand and develop the proper way to dock your boat. In all due respect, a 30’ single engine boat should be a dream to dock. Just sayin.

    Dinghy naming, is it a thing?

    Honestly? Every yacht deserves a special name, including a dinghy/tender. Don’t succumb to the pressure to make it oblivious. And don’t succumb to putting the name on the bottom. Be a true yachtsman. Step up. Don’t be a nouveau bateau. Be a yachtsman. Name her with pride, dignity, and loyalty to...

    Vandalism, or just people being rude?

    I was a fool to get involved here. It is always the same.Everyone knows everything, and no one wants to learn or listen. I’m cool. Back to running next 150, 000 miles on board. Whatever. My fault. I learned a long time ago to shut up and let the experts tell everything. OUT.
