WOW! C in general would not be my first pick for icebreaking duty if the Northwest Passage is what you meant, but we had a guy from Annapolis do it in a Vega 27. You would be living in luxury compared to that boat. Joe Coquina From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of

The 3GM engine would indicate the boat’s original engine was replaced and the monel fuel tank is a very good thing. I would not buy a car, airplane, or boat sight-unseen myself, but too late now. I hope this works out – the 35s (all versions) are nice boats! Joe Della Barba C 35 MK I Coquina

I operated a friends 10 ft AB in not calm but not rough water. With just me in it and sitting all the way aft it felt like it wanted to flip. Plus it was quite a step down in the bow. FWIT.  Doug MountjoysvPegasusLF38 just west of Ballard, WA. -- Original

Sam, I have a 2-blade Martec Elliptic 17x10 RH folding prop for a 1" shaft that you are welcome to try out for the cost of shipping (from New England). It came off my 35-3 with Yanmar 3GMF and 2.2:1 transmission. Fair warning, I replaced it with a flex-o-fold because I wasn't happy with

We’ve been using 2004 AB 10AL for about 4 years now, it has a fiberglass bottom. Prior to that I had Caribe C10 (AB and caribe are hypalon). And before that a mercury RIB 10’(PVC). We live on the boat 5-6 months out of the year so the dinghy gets a lot of use. Pretty much like a car but

Bill, I know how you feel. I watch the videos on the sailrite website and think "man, I MUST have that". And then the feeling goes away when I think of all the projects I have to do. Making my own cushions is way down the list of priorities. However, I do need a new sail cover... and will need new

There was some discussion I recall recently on cruiser's forum about a recent (and maybe temporary) deterioration in AB quality while their plant was moving between Venezuela and Columbia. There were also discussions about the aluminum floor being very hot on bare feet and paint peeling off

There are (were?) a few guys in Toronto, who did that a few years back. And if I remember correctly, they did it on a 30-something foot boat. So it is doable. Maybe someone from that area has the contacts. Marek In Ottawa, ON PS. And completely off topic, I am just coming back form a great ski

Bill, I can’t tell you how many times iv’e stitched a rip while under way. For cruising in the tropics, where sun always wins, you are going to get a rip. Even the best of uv threads will give way at some point. A ripped sail is actually worse than losing the engine. For the seasonal
