Done. Eastern shore craigslist.

Apologies. Will repost.

I have a 1979 GB 36 with teak off the main decks and newer fuel tanks. New fly bridge enclosure. Large solar panel over aft cabin. 8kw genset, single120 Lehmann. Bow thruster. Foot switch windlass. Starboard side only salon door. Singlehanded up from Marathon to Crisfield via Lake O. New Garmin...

Hell of a way to get out of boating Kinda like using the cancer diet to lose weight. Been there.

On ours there is a solar fan on forward hatch that pulls air out. And while not "daisy fresh", there is enough air that comes in from the aft cabin companion way even with a canvas cover on it.

Good morning. In my experience with full keel sailboats and semi/full displacement power boats, in a following sea, as the stern lifts the bow digs in and the boat wants to round up. Meaning the boat will veer sharply either port or starboard as the wave passes under the boat. If you anticipate...

Our old school Grand Banks 36 is in your price point. Currently liquidating to move to Belize.

Don agree with you wholeheartedly. This situation is fubar. Any half wit accident attorney would have a field day with the investigation timeliness. Hope you come out good.

I for one would like to know why the USCG would accept a statement from someone that was not on scene as opposed to the crew that was. Sounds to me that the trawler crew has something to hide. Granted there was no loss of life or serious bodily injury, but sounds like an incomplete and biased...

Bingo. Trawlers, from what I have seen, lower their booms as soon as there is room. So essentially out the inlet and lower the booms. They are not trawling so no lights except nav lights. No nets deployed so running to get to their grounds. Minimal watch as most crew are resting for work ahead...

Wife and I have been going to Crescent Beach during that time for the last 5 years except for this year when we were there 10 days prior. We stay at the Beachers Lodge just south of the 206 Bridge on the beach. We always stay on the top/4th floor. I always take binoculars. Watch the traffic...

I too am curious where the " previous post" is. Also curious as to size of vessel.

I would use the 14mm. I would also tighten the 2 nuts equally. ie. 1/4 turn on each.

Looks like that platform could easily, if geared correctly, lower into the water and be a great landing to step up to the swim platform. The way it is mounted appears that a 270° range of movement possible.

Yup.

75 gals in original stainless starboard tank.

'79 GB36 with same. 120 single with 24×14×4. As has been said. The cost ain't worth the gain.

Welcome aboard. Where are you starting from?

Used 2 each 32 gal tanks for total port tankage of 64 gal.

Now that you have taken the Med off your list, and will be coastal cruising, I will second the purchase of a trawler. Whichever make you choose, I would recommend 40' range for 4 people. 36' would be too cramped IMHO. Single or twin? I prefer a single for ease of maintenance simply because I...

Mr RTF You are the reason I continue in this site!

Please don't mandate AIS transceivers. I am just moving out of the 18th century and getting used to chartplotters. I did stow my semaphore flags back in the '80's when I purchased a vhf radio. I have never had an autopilot though have installed quite a few back in the day. I just use a line...

My suggestion of Bluewater sail is based on the info given of wanting to make long open passages not coastal cruising. While I am "not quite right", I would not try to take my GB36 across to the Med.

Insurance companies need to make money for their shareholders, pay their employees, and cover their payouts. Object is to collect more money then they pay out.

So the bridge flexed that much with a train on it. Not a warm fuzzy feeling.
