Hi Jim,
I still interested in being part of this
consideration. I'm about a year away from
grabbing something like this on my own :)
It may be possible to establish an honourable
"work credit" system for someone who wants to (or
can) participate in the fixing up process. Or we
could hire Wally. He has a good reputation and
should be running low on the cruising kitty.
Maybe get him cheaper than the locals' rate...?
Cheers, Russ
Sweet 35 mk-1
Please save the thread for me. I'm off to France
this weekend to visit a turbine factory so I may unsub during that period.

Here's the lowdown from the broker:
First, let me explain that the guy bought the
boat for $60,000 and then proceeded to put
another $60,000 into the boat with items like:
new engine, new sails, new rigging, new
hydovane, etc. He put nothing into updating the
interior, but you have to admit he took care of
everything having to do with sailing the
boat. So the cushions are original and are
old-tired. This is not a huge issue and a full
set can be built here in Mazatlan for probably
$2500. The sink counter is a plywood with
formica laminate and water got into it and the
plywood spread out. Again this is a really
cheap fix<$500. The refrigerator insulation
needs a little fixing too. The guy just ran out
of money and could not continue to fix up the boat.
I personally think it is a hell of a good
deal..the boat is solid with a tall rig and
proven to sail well in light air or heavy. By
today's standards she is narrow [11.5ft] but
that means she has a nice motion through the
waves. My Saga 43 is similar in that the beam
is 12ft and she has a fine motion through the
water. The owner is motivated to sell. You get
a 39 ft greyhound for a good price.
My take on it was that it was going to take
another $10K and a lot of sweat equity to make
it work. The number of bodies volunteering to
partner up was a real surprise. I gots to think about that.

I could be interested in this idea too. There
are a couple of people around our Club who keep
boats in that area so might be able to find out
a bit more about SC and nearby alternatives..

Marina Real in SC looks like it would charge
under $200 per month to dry-store a 39-footer,
and about the same to launch. The slip rates
look pretty reasonable, too. Hmmm

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.
Im presuming that its 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. Im 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 doesnt 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 wed 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 weeks charter in the BVI which should also be do-able.
