What is the age of your boat?

My boat is only 40 years old but the design is much older....it was a classic design when it was designed in 1936. She is in rough cosmetic shape now but still gets ooohs and ahhhs.
Under sail, she pisses off the people that criticize the design as being obsolete, antiquated, out dated and inefficient......as she leaves them in her wake.
I can't help feeling smug looking at the frustrated faces on the plastic boats behind me.

My Pearson P-30 Cincuenta is 35 years old - Hull #1071 located in Galesville, MD. She was having issues with mold in the fresh water holding tank so I removed it, cleaned it with bleach replaced all lines and rebuilt two gusher foot pumps. so I have clean water. Next issue, I have a Signet Knot Meter that works well when the paddle wheel is clean but has a cracked glass. I would like to replace that glass any suggestions greatly appreciated. Looking for an abandoned Signet knot meter.

My 1977 ERICSON 27 s/v ENCOUNTER allows me to care for HER, fuss over her, love her, be a slave to her affection and pay all the bills for her upkeep AND SHE takes ME along sailing whenever I want for my efforts and shows me a real good time; all in all...that's only fair. I'm twice her age, but I guess that's as good as it gets, eh?

A better way to collect the same information would have been to ask; "When was your boat built?
  • 2010-2019
  • 2000-2009
  • 1990-1999
  • 1980-1989
  • 1970-1979
  • 1960-1969
  • 1950-1959
  • 1920-1949
  • some point in the Holocene period
