When it comes to personal preferences, each to their own, of course. But 'fiuaskme, as an office/liveaboard boat I can think of many better...
I believe they used to build either a 57 or a 64, in that size bracket. But I agree, one of their 64 which I've seen was indeed well built. OTOH,...
Yep, I've seen A.F.Theriault & Son abbreviated as AFT in other occasions, so I just took that for granted. But apologies for the wrong spelling of...
CDG, Columbus is one of the larger CHs as I recall, built neither at AFT nor Cantor, right? Pictou, maybe? Never seen one anyway, but I take your...
I believe all the (very few) CH 60 were built by Theriault, which is a good pedigree. I wasn't equally impressed by Cantor construction instead,...
If you don't mind shipping to Italy, and if the parts are in good working conditions, I'm interested in the wind display+vane. Possibly with their...
Well, on a 2014 boat that's not so normal. Waddumean "have to be done", is that because you don't like them, they were abused, or what?
Arneson drives are actually the only thing I wouldn't be worried about, because there's none on that boat. OTOH, it's easy to guess that those...
If you mean the flybridge model of the late 90s, what you are experiencing is not surprising at all. But as a material for the refitting, you...
I would rather say that the opposite is odd. Sailboats are hands down the most logical choice for anyone seriously interested in long distance...
If she's the one in Pascal link, while reading it my first thought was that $79,500 is actually too low. That is, the owner should pay me more to...
Absolutely. I heard quite a few owners of IPS powered boats calling the marina and ask to send ribs to push them in their berth, because the...
Zero interest to dismiss Ultra, Rule, or anything else. But I've yet to come across a bilge-specific switch that can hold a candle to magnetic...
+1. I was also somewhat scared by some of the posts in this thread, but I refrained to comment for two reasons: First, I'm more familiar with...
Only been at FLIBS once, ten years ago, and I hated every awfully crowded days of it. OTOH, I actually enjoyed the nights I spent there. I mean,...
In a boat where the AP can't handle any kind of sea better than the helmsman, my first thought would be to fix the AP (and/or understand how to...
Do you mean it's normal for SFs to "pitch and yaw in any kind of following or quartering sea at various speed"? In a two feet sea, which is what...
Hence the first of the two alternative possibilities in my previous post #42. Which 'fiuaskme is hands down the more likely.
I can certainly see why. I already posted my suggestion on what I have good reasons to consider the best shaft seals money can buy in this...
What I would do at next haul-out is replace both with some seals not built by amateurs. In fact, I can only see two alternatives: either they...
