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.

Pros:
Cons:

Traditional design and layout, some people call it "old" or "early eighties". Well built by production standards, solid. It's not a sleek design, more of a raised coachhouse. Steering is a bit heavy when motoring, the prop is offset and washes against the port side of the rudder. (I find an autohelm makes up for this). Turning is slightly hampered due to a skeg hung rudder, however this makes for a stronger rudder and much better tracking. I often leave the helm well balanced on it's own. There is plenty of storage in two large cockpit lockers. There is a big strong anchor roller and a large anchor locker. The mast is deck stepped. There is lots of storage below behind many teak louvered cabinet doors, under and behind both setees and under the V berth. . A There is a hanging locker opposite the head. There are several shelves beside and forward of the hanging locker, with a cupboard below. There is lots of wood below, the sole is gelcoat. The head is enclosed and is roomy ( well it's all relative, right ). The boat sleeps 4 adults, 2 in the vberth, 2 in the main saloon port settte and one child on the stbd settee. The V berth is very large for a 28' boat and a large forward hatch gives lots of light and ventilation. There are louvered doors on cupboards linning both sides of the v berth and a small forepeak locker as well. Ventilation in general is very good, there are 6 opening ports, all screened and 2 other large windows. The starboard setee in the main cabin is too short for an adult to sleep comfortably. (the stove and oven take up a bit of room). The Port side folds out to a nice double but this does constrict the passsageway slightly. The ice box is to port below the companionway with the sink and stove/oven to starboard. The hull shape is a bit outdated, the stern tends to curve inward rather than the large wide sterns of 1990's boats.
Cost. Approx $28000 CDN in 1996
