When I got your message I was, in fact, looking up information on San Carlos. Looks to be a pretty good location to base a timeshare boat. The city is serviced by US Air and Aeromexico, among other airlines, and seems to have a lot of attractions. I believe it is a couple of hundred miles north of Mazatlan, and it seems pretty centrally located in the Sea of Cortez. Looks like a lot of boat rental and diving tour locations in the area, so there should be options for marinas and boat yards. San Carlos might be a good spot to be located.
I'm presuming that it's pretty hot in the summer, so it might be best to haul the boat for protection from hurricanes and for maintenance for 3 or 4 months in the summer. Wally might be able to provide some input on the area and on the desirability of a summer haul out. There might still be 8 or 9 months available for cruising in Mexico each year. My 38 has the same arrangement of Barrient 32 and 28 winches as Outrider. I have planned to upgrade my existing winches using the self tailing conversion kits available from Winchmate. The spring jaw conversion kits run $600 for the 28 and $650 for the 32. Would agree this is a good addition for Outrider. I'm not sure what sort of watermaker would be most desirable or what the maintenance impacts and costs might be. That might be a decision for the owner group. Canvas probably doesn't last too long in the tropic sun, so a color change (though desirable) might become part of a maintenance chore in the near future. I think we'd need to work out a number of details about boat ownership/documentation, maybe set up a partnership to manage joint ownership and expenses, look into insurance coverage, figure out how to equitably allocate cruising time, and a number of other details. But all that should be pretty do-able. And I, for one, am pretty serious about having the chance to sail for a month or so each year in the Pacific. Especially if we can keep the initial cash outlay under about $10k and keep the annual contribution for maintenance, etc in the range of a week's charter in the BVI - which should also be do-able.

I'm going to start a new thread about the 39 on Cruising Anarchy to get some divergent input, but what would the consensus be in this crowd for that 39 as a Mexico cruiser full-time? I would want to add self-tailers and a watermaker, but that's about it. Oh, and change the canvas colour.

I mentioned San Carlos as the summer storage simply because that is where a few of the west coast Canadian boats that I know of are stored for the "off" season.

If we can get to 6 or 7, that brings the entry fee down to $7500 or less each, for about a month each winter on the Pacific coast of Mexico. Maybe Wally could comment on the best place to base her, haul her for the summer (if we elected to do that), and have routine maintenance done. When I lived near Allentown, PA a number of us in the local sailing club took shares in a 35' boat out of Rock Hall, MD. Perhaps I can still find the bylaws that spelled out how to pay for maintenance and how to divide up the cruising time equitably.
