Andrew:
That's good news. It means that there are no duties due on it, because of NAFTA. I think the total fees were about $35. I imported the boat in Point Roberts. Took about an hour to fill out the forms and pay. Let me refer to my notes/records and I'll post a "how to" OK?
When are you planning on doing this.

Hi David,

Yes a "How to" post sounds like a good plan.

Not sure of dates, its not a done deal yet - Just had the survey done yesterday so need the survey report to come through.
Also need to secure a moorage in Seattle area, figure out how long it will take to get the boat from West Vancouver to Seattle (5 knot cruising speed)
and work out some time off from work.

If you can get the trip done sooner than later with some of the longer days still around, you should be able to get down here in a long two day weekend, also assuming you can catch the tides vs going against.

A 32' boat should cruise closer to 6 knots and still get decent fuel useage. My 29.5 OA 24.5 LWL does 5.8-6 easy, I can wide open throttle and do 6.6, but fuel useage doubles to something over 1 gal an hr vs .5-.7 gals and hr. Not sure what Davids old Cat 30 did, but would assume equal.

Marty

A few years back my son and I took his new-to-him Ranger 29 from Tacoma to Vancouver in a 31 hour overnite trip, up the laConner 'Ditch'. That's going the other way but we rarely had favourable tide and I imagine our ground speed was around 5 knots much of the time. Our time Seattle to Vancouver was about 25 hours. This was a motoring delivery trip in light breezes for the most part.

Thanks for all the advice - yes theoretical hull speed is 6.5 I believe, but I was reckoning on 5 knots average - taking into account unfavourable tides etc. Yes want to do the trip ASAP - already i am noticing the days grow shorter.
