Hey Windless, Little by little. I have done some major projects and a million minor. The boat now has a 3 cabin layout, solar, stern davits, new decks, new hard wood floors in the bathroom, a built in Salon etc. I am on the boat everyday. I just got back from a trip from the Islas del Rosarios...

The on GB in PM he has a much more vertical stay than I have. See the drawing I posted of a Bristol 42 and is the exact layout of my boat. This sail would only be used on long runs and not in shifty conditions. It would not be of any use or used for any wind fwd of the beam. Since most passages...

I hope this gives some perspective. Yes, the bimini would be in the way however on long passages I take it down.

Lots of really cool boats! Thanks all. I would post a pic of the rig but I can never remember how to post a pic on this site.

I was unable to google this article or boat. What issue was this in. Thanks JJ

Yes my decision to skip Peru is based on noonsite. I am currently in South America and I am not squeamish about guerillas since they do not seem to be sea born groups (if we exclude Castros attack on Cuba aboard Granma), however if I were in Bogota getting into a cab I would be worried. Its...

I have no intention of rounding the cape and plan to do the inside (without rushing and taking my sweet time) To be fair, the Beagle, Drakes and the straights of Magellan are all riddled with dangers of their own and present even the most seasoned of crew with challenges. Keep in mind that Chile...

There have been many sailboat that have done this trip, currently I have a friend in Chile on his sailboat. Most sailboats when rounding counter clockwise follow the route described above of the Galapagos, Robinson Crusoe Island etc which is not the route I want to take for many reasons...

I have read the endless discussion for stay sails but has anyone every used a HEAD sail. My boat and rig was designed for it, but the sail is missing. Before I run and have one made I am wonder what kind of lift can be expected (obviously this depends on wind and sea state.). a) can I expect a...

I am considering a circumnavigation of South America. Starting in Cartagena heading to Panama, through the canal and making a counter clockwise voyage and ending in Cartagena. Has anyone here made this trip?

ummm anyone have any idea why it is so friggin hard to load a picture on to this site?>

Windless.... I am sorry you missed the boat. There were many boats I could have chosen, in the end I made the correct choice. We faced some shitty seas days on end south of Cuba and had to back down on the speed to 3.5-4 kts to keep her in the water. I have a lot of respect for this boat. Over...

Windless... yes it was. I guess I should update the group to my new status. Originally my plan was to do some island hopping and a few long legs but in the end my trip was very different, with more long legs. I left CT in October and made my way to Key West, part offshore and part ICW, taking...

We should be to Charleston by tomorrow night. We are waiting for a window and will make the jump hopefully straight to stuart! then we have to figure out how to transfer it from boat to boat!

Lets keep it easy I will take 150 ft. I am south bound in the ICW near Wilmington NC. I am headed south to the Keys. I was planning on going from Charleston to Miami, so I can modify and swing stuart. I just don't know anything about the area, but I am sure you can guide me.

Pelagic, Around 200ft. Let me think about the 150ft...

Are you selling 300 ft or are you selling it per foot? I am interested but I don't need 300 ft

Looking for a 9-12ft Carolina skiff, Boston Whaler, or equivalent. I am in Hampton Va and working my way to Key West can pick up on the way.

yes... it was previously Moose. I take it you know it? I would update the pic but the only photos I have are the boat in a sling

What are you traveling in ?

"Never ones to give in to a few setbacks when destiny is at stake...." well said and quotable.

I got caught in hurricane sandy in NJ on my sailboat. I was less than a mile from where the shore got washed out and the bridge came down. I couldn't leave until November. After shoveling snow off the boat I set out in placid condition but then got laid up in in Ocean City for 4 days freezing...

Looks like your green light on the weather, its opening up tonight giving you a window until Saturday am... plenty of time.

I would ask the surveyor why he labeled it that way. Often you find that it is the same form he uses over and over. If he forgets to change the info in one location it will be inaccurate. On the boat I just bought the survey listed the outboard of the dingy at 4 hp but it is actually a 6hp...

I am confused why we are making a three way since you want his anchor and I want yours. What do you want for the 60lb? If the price is agreeable then I can grab it in CT? I once had a CQR that I could not find for the life of me. Years later my ex-wife told me she sold it because it was...
