Sail Plan

I received the M23 sail plan in today's mail. I like it!!! I may have to check my green locker to see if there are funds that are not allocated to something crazy like the remodeling that my bride would like to do. Bob, Thank you. Steve

>apparently their link to used boats was not working This is a site that you (and I) should not visit without adult supervision. I just looked, and found 24 Flickas ($15K-$68K), twelve Danas, an interesting boat that I hadn't seen before (PS 25) and twelve Orions. Gulp!

CBRers, I plan on going down to my boat one day this week, most likely Thursday/Friday depending on the weather. Veras is on the way so I will stop in and eyeball the ramp. If my memory serves me right I dont believe there much to it. The marina is older and Im not sure it has been well maintained. I will let you all know as soon as I get back. I keep my boat at Spring Cove marina which is gated and has a fenced yard. I will check with the manager and see if he would be willing to allow us to park there for the week. I'll also get the best rate I can., Spring Cove is across the street from the ramp. I think the ramp at Solomons is excellent but the parking is a bit expensive. The atmosphere at Vera's is great, we should have a good time there. However this is not a five star restuarant. Looking forward to June and seeing everyone. Talk to you soon Gary

It has been related to me it was sometime in the late 80's. The point of whether is is more detrimental for a fiberglass hull to sit in saltwater vs freshwater has been hashed about over the years as well. I still have no idea what the answer is. I had pock marks and minor blisters on my M17 hull when I got her in '96. I did a bottom job myself to see first hand what a pain it is. Sanding fiberglass is a nasty job. I applied 8 coats of Interprotect 2000 then 2 coats of Micron CSC. The M23 has Awlgrip on it's hull. I follow your thinking on keeping a trailerable even if you have a "transportable" larger sailboat. That is what I have in mind for my M17. My pipe dream is to have the M23 in Minnesota, and the M17 in the Keys for my "snowbird" winter getaways............someday soon. Later, Bones >> Hi Bones, Thanks for the reply. I found out yesterday that the '89 Flicka that I had decided to buy sold on Friday (I already had plane reservations). Given what I have been through over the past few months trying to buy a Flicka, I am not sure I whether I will pursue further. You did the right thing with the bottom job. I did the same thing (less the Micron) on my M15 keel (not because of any blistering, but to fill/fair the centerboard opening). So many people only apply a couple of coats of the 2000/2001, when everything that I have heard/been told suggests that you should really end up with 20 mils. 7-8 coats should get you there. Good luck with the "snowbird" plan. Sounds like the way to go! Scott
