Please read carefully: The Chat Feature will be turned back on sometime on Thursday 5/30/13. We received word last night that Norton/Symantec is 'whitelisting' Envolve Chat and that any false warning should disappear IF AND ONLY IF YOU HAVE DOWNLOADED AND UPDATED YOUR NORTON/SYMANTEC SOFTWARE with the latest virus definitions. (this is usually automatic) but your installation/implementation may be different.

It appear as though the company that provides our Chat feature recently updated their software and now one of their modules is being 'mis-classified' by Norton/Symantec and possible containing a virus. Until they have this resolved we have de-activaed chat. We've opened a support incident with Envolve and they will hopefully have this corrected soon.

We've added a new Video Section where you can post your favorite youtube videos. You do not need to post their 'embed' code. Just post a link to the video and we do the rest.

Since the maximum number of days a Classified can be posted without 'relisting' the ad (you'll get an expiration notice ahead of time) is 90 days - As of 6:15 PM EST 1/6/2013 all Classified Ads over 90 days old have been purged from the Sailnet Classifieds.

Every now and then Comcast gets a bug up their butt and starts blocking emails from our server. They have pattern recognition software to scan emails and if they see too many emails that look similar they just start blocking your server. I noticed they were blocking emails earlier today and I went to their website and completed a form that got us 'unblocked' so if you see a number of emails flowing through from Sailnet - this is the reason.

Cons:

Liberty built custom built boats by order in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Gabrielle was built in the early 1980s and is a heavily constructed fiberglass boat. I purchased the boat in 1990 and have been very happy with the boat. I was looking for a well built boat with enough room for one person, possibly two. She has a wide beam which makes her roomy inside and steady underway. I have had her in heavy seas -- 10 foot and greater -- and she has taken it well. She is easy to single-hand and very forgiving. I would suggest this type of boat, if you can find one for sale, to anyone interested in cruising slowly and safely.

I've been living aboard my Liberty 28 for 32 years, and cruised some 25,000 miles with her. In my estimation, this boat is one of the best small cruisers ever built. Heavily built, with a very nice motion in a seaway (I've had mine in 15 - 18ft seas) and quite speedy for the type and size. The designer has told me that most of these top out at 8.4 knots. Mine does better. I have hull #6 of the 30 (I think) built. The guy that had #4 had been across the Atlantic and back something like 10 times before selling her in Istanbul. On one of these trips, he encountered a force 12 storm in the Bay of Bicay, and suffered no damage other than breaking his vane gear. I've had mine as far as Grenada. These were semi custom boats, and as such were tailored to the needs of the owners. Several layouts were produced. I've seen ballast range from 4800lbs to the 5500lbs in mine. Early boats featured a bumpkin, which was later dropped for a split backstay. Some particulars - Disp. 12,000lbs, beam 9'7", LWL 24'4", SA 525sq.ft., draft 4ft. Great boat.
