I suspect it will be bittersweet. The sweet part will come from knowing that you saved a bunch of money. The bitter part will come when...
Our first boat was our Sea Spirit 63' trawler. Our only prior experience was lake sailing. Insurance, amazingly, wasn't a problem for me....
Could you elaborate please, either by posting or private message. It is always better to know what may be coming, and I'm clearly in a position to...
Ok, here's thinking outside the box a little. It is possible to buy 4 weeks per year aboard a 2009 100' Hargrave for $500k, with fixed operating...
One possibility: Put her to sleep in your bed. Then, when you come to bed, put her on a foamie which will keep her a few inches off the cold...
Ours made 77gph of water, using 6kw of power, which I ballpark at 0.6gph of gen fuel. At $5/usg, this is 0.6*5/77 = 3.9 cents per usg. Of course,...
We have a 1 year old Sea Recovery Aquamatic 1800 gallon per day modular unit, and couldn't be happier with it. Great water, zero problems with the...
Here's the article.. More by YachtIsland Design.
I look forward to reporting back to the group about crew issues once I've heard back from Loren (who is away for a couple weeks). There must be...
PM has been sent today. -- Thanks.
Mmm. Another good question. But no, that's not how it works at all. The "down-days" are pooled to the "ends" of the block. They are not turned...
Also, FWIW, the fraction we're looking at is 6 straight weeks, all at one time, not split up. The downside for the crew is they have to put up...
For sure. I think Capt J's concerns have merit in theory, but I need to speak to some happy or unhappy actual owners or crew in order to know the...
Your point is very well taken. I suppose it comes down to this: I need to find out if, as you say, the crew come and go with the wind due to poor...
Thanks for the responses so far. I had not considered the crew burnout aspects. Yes, the boats run 40 weeks per year, and are "off" the remaining...
I am looking very seriously at buying a portion of a 2009 Hargrave 100' raised pilothouse yacht called "Perfect Harmony" that is being managed by...
I don't think you want it delivered to Hawaii. And that's coming from someone who lives in Honolulu! New boats always have some "owner preference"...
I got lucky and found a boat that had never been owned by anyone other than the manufacturer, but that was a couple of years old due to the...
Absolutely. Thanks for providing the additional details. The yacht is beautiful, but any yacht's true beauty lies within. For the owner, in how it...
Good to hear. In addition to showing us the beautiful lines of your boat, are you able to share any of the design decisions that led you to this...
