Onne Van Der Wal Snow Goose Solution Onne Van Der Wal has a wonderful Youtube series of his refit of his 32 Grand Banks, Snow Goose. He dealt with his salon floor by stripping and varnishing it. I thought his video was excellent. Enjoy, Jim Andersen Katy Leigh

Good Question The question I have is where would you even find a solid wood door like that? I just went through a significant interior renovation and had a craftsman replace all the delaminated teak on the interior. It turned out very well. I was promised that after a short while, the sun...

Haha, there are times I want that too. But then when I think about it, I kind of like the 1.9GPH fuel burn rate that 7 kts gives you.

I apologize. No of course it is not the same length. The extra length of the 36 allows for a rear cabin. I also did not know the 32 was a bit narrower. I was in the salon of a 32 and it appeared to me to be the exact same as the 36. Apparantly the salon is narrower. I still think the 32...

One more quick point about the 32. It is the exact same as the 36 except it does not have a rear stateroom and head. Only a forward V berth and head. The salon is the exact same size, and if you find one that is a Europa, you get a rear door entrance to that salon, which is far preferable to...

Be Careful I agree with everything others have said. Personally I bought a 1981 36 GB Classic, and it was in pretty good (but not perfect) shape. The original owner kept the boat in pristine condition in fresh water conditions for the first 2/3 of its life. Big positive. However the second...

My GB 36 has a salt water washdown pump with the faucet on the port side right under the flybridge stairs. Not the most ideal location, but that's what I inherited. I run a flexible hose up to the bow when I need to wash down the anchor chain. Down in the engine room, there is a T branch off...

Welcome Bob and Linda Hi Bob and Linda, Welcome and congratulations on your new (to you) Grand Banks. My 1981 GB Classic is located on Narragansett Bay at Safe Harbor Greenwich Bay. Happy to chat with you any time. I've owned the Katy Leigh for two years now and am very happy with it so...

Hello all, By any chance do any of you know where I can find replacement cabinet latches for my interior cabinets and hatches. They are plastic. See photo attached

My 1981 36 GB Classic (same engine and transmission) has a 4 bladed prop, 24" diameter x 14" pitch LH

With 64 gallons on the port side and 100 gallons on the starboard, does your boat sit level in the water?

Dinghy Butler System I just had the Dinghy Butler system installed on my GB 36 Classic. But rather than install the pivot hardware through the transom, mine sits on top of my swim platform. Dinghy Butler will design this version for you if you cannot drill through your transom. I absolutely...

Very Sorry In my previous comment I said that drone registration is required for drones that weigh .55 oz. It should be .55 lbs or less (250 grams). Very sorry about that. Drone registration requirements can be found at https://www.faa.gov/uas/getting_started/register_drone

To answer some questions/comments various people have been asking: 1. Don't confuse drone registration with drone pilot licensing. All drones, except the smallest drones that weigh .55 oz or less, need to be registered with the FAA. 2. "Drone Pilot Licensing" refers to whether the pilot...

After hearing Capt John, I change my suggestion. I would go with something like a DJI Mavic Mini like others have suggested. Flying over water does involve risk, but you can lose a DJI Mavic Mini in the water, and replace it with refurbished model (without the battery or rotor blades) for...

I've lost three drones in the water. I would definitely go for a waterproof drone like that one.

Have you thought of having a captain drive it over? I can recommend a good captain that knows those waters
