    Don't give up. The engine isn't the boat, it's a removeable peice of gear. I just spent $3500 on a piece of equipment for my $3000 boat. There is nothing on a glass boat hull that can't reglassed...

    OpenCpn is really the greatest bit of free softwear on the net. I use it in preference to a chart plotter, and its miles and decades further advanced than anything on iPad etc. And the CM93...

    don, it sounds like either you've been hijacked by malware or you hit a wrong button. I'm also in Win7, running MSIE by default. I do have Java and Javascript disabled, you may find malware has been...

    Unless you have a split pulpit/lifeline arrangement sheeting outside is going to put some strain on the lifelines and stanchions as the sail is forced over and down again. This is esp true if it's an...

    Just another example of the wealthy "purchasing" laws and making water access and water views their exclusive domain. Navigable waterways were the last bastion of real freedom. Now even that is...

    tomperanteau liked post by night0wl On thread : Best small boat for cruising the Bahamas?
    Even though you gain space, I'd avoid an outboard for "long-distance"ish cruising. Choppy seas can result in cavitation, and if you're going Bahamas, expect to spend a lot of time in shallow waters...

    tomperanteau liked post by jackdale On thread : Full or fin keel?
    So far so good. A full keel will generally track better dead down wind. Full keel boats tend to have a smaller draft allowing them to get into shallower water. But as you inferred, they do not...

    It looks like a cookie-cutter rich man's toy. No character and if someone gave it to me I'd sell it and buy a boat.
