My poo tank is in the v-berth and we try to keep that one empty. I imagine that fuel tankage becomes an issue when making the Galapagos to Marquesas passage. But then, I'm basing that on things I've read on the internet ... It just seems that if I'm going to pick a boat and spend a bunch of money

I think it's been on the market a while. It can't hurt to call the broker and ask him straight out about the problems he knows about. Otherwise, go down and look at it with a plastic hammer in hand and check it out. If the hull has moisture in it, that's a big job to fix. if the deck has moisture

Good advice from Andy. Probably no hour meter on the motor. When looking at the cost of replacing running rigging, remember it is probably twice the cost of replacing the rigging on your boat. Also, 7 foot draft could be a challenge in the Bahamas. If they bothered to buy Kevlar sails they

In the northeast, many buyers will shy away from boats with 7' draft (except the die hard racers of course). That may be another factor on the asking price. John Sent from my iPad On Feb 6, 2014, at 8:22 AM, Stevan Plavsa stevanpla...@gmail.com wrote: My poo tank is in the v-berth and we

The CC 40 on YachtWorld looks gorgeous. If I base it on my experience with mine and barring anything expensive like serious blister issues and delaminations or extensive standing rigging work I would say that another 10 - 15K or so would likely get you a ship shape boat ready for off-shore

Skip is also a very experienced offshore sailor. I like a lot of what he did on Saralane, but most I wouldn't bother with on my boat. I like to windows the way they are, and cutting open the transom and bridgedeck is more of a project than I want to tackle; it would take too much out of my

While the 40 is a beautiful boat, I’m surprised at the small tankage. My LF38 came stock with 105 gals of water, 35 of fuel, and a 35 gal holding tank. Nothing like the CSY44 (with 400 gals of water and 200 of fuel…), but much more than most CC’s. Seems like you have to work pretty hard to
