Maybe we shalll bump into each other in the North channel (metaphorically speaking)

Your candidate list was very intriguing. I think the Beneteau 373 looks a little tight in the forward cabin. but not much wrong with her otherwise. I suspect the Hunter would be a nice boat to sail, and probably better than the C350 in light air, but much more expensive than the C350 and the accomod...

I assumed you would be getting a kit so I did not mention things like a stainless steel through hull.. I never found a rubber grommet big enough to acomodate the hoses as they pass through the inevitable holes in woodwork. Warren Pandy sent me some large dia spiral cable ducting which probably works...

It produces about 5 KW of heat which is very adequate even for Canada. One fan is in the lazarette and blows into the salon and the aft cabin. One is installed under the galley sink and also blows into the salon and the third is installed at the bottom of the port locker. The lazarette fan must get ...

The platform for the generator is already installed below the port cockpit locker. Unscrew and remove the shelf and you will see it. There is even an empty conduit awaiting your cable.

having trucked the boat between lakes last year I was forced to tune the rig. I did it by guess and by god, adjusting the turn buckles until they seemed reasonably tight and then eyeballing the mast and adjusting until the mast was straight. This was no big deal. Phase two, of course, is to take the...
