• Blogger Dave. When I first came to the CSBB, you were a passionate sailor, and avid sailboat racer.
  • There are a lot of "former" sailors that are now enjoying powerboats
    • A friend who had a Grand Banks said that it wasn't unusual for owners to ask what kind of sailboat did you have before.
    • Yeah but we don't exactly all meet up at Volleyball beach, or what have you.
  • That's an interesting question.
    • You have me thinking. I'm not interested in this motorsailer as a boat, but as a liveaboard,...
      • Hold on, check the 52' Laurent Giles Staysail Auxiliary Motorsailer Ketch
        • that's whole lot of love
          • You would spend your whole life Larry!
            • Tom that boat is a black hole.... money and time.
              • You're probably right. These old ladies have only become interesting to me
                • Holy crap!
                  • Listen to you! If you jump into something, you can jump back out too.
                    • Nice view. I get it.
                    • Yeah but... yeah but... yeah but....
                      • What, everybody doesn't do that? ;-D
                      • It's never really a good day
        • Double planked hull...
          • Should be under the Alden motorsailer
            • Those are some of the upfront questions, I'd have an experienced wooden boat surveyor do that work.
        • Yeah but the hull is epoxy sheathed...
      • Have I got a deal for you
        • Another good one for sure, a great deal. How long did you live onboard Dan.
          • It was just time to do it.
  • At the risk of overgeneralizing, I think there's a difference between "trawler folk" and "go fast" powerboaters
    • What is that boat?
      • Looks like a Nordhavn 35 Coastal Pilot
        • correct!!! nordhavn 35
          • Nice looking trawler.
            • I actually have been looking at getting one.
      • Nordic Trawler?
        • Yes. Brain fart//// Nordhaven....
  • After Leaving U.S. Waters....
