Evidently he "bought their boat in another state that doesn't require sales taxes for boats, brought it into Maine within the first year of...
It appears that someone may have missed this from post #14: "Lest there be any mistake let me state that I believe that the helmsperson on the CG...
On a boat like this a windless would certainly be used for the anchor. The hull will be marked where to place the slings, but blocking is...
Those in the hood learn from experience to hit the deck when the shooting starts. The tourists stick their heads up to watch the show....
That actually has become the subject of this thread, but it has been directed solely at one manufacturer. Maybe it's time to close this thread...
Very true. If only there were a way to get 30 years of experience into a 21 year old body. From what I understand the CG training does need more...

Never heard of them, but I notice on their site that they'll be manufacturing in your country. That can be good. Nice enough looking boats. On...
As for the mate/helmsman being licensed, that would be a rarity on small boats. Few owners want to pay for 2 licenses to be aboard. Personally,...
Reputation. BTW, Welcome to YF neighbor.
I'd guess asleep at the helm or he may have just needed to bottom paint and didn't want to pay for a haul.;)
Don't discount that pitch and roll nor the buoys boyancy. All you need is for the boat to be coming down off even a small wave and have the down...
