    Docking a GB 32 Single Handed

    I have a 1988 GB32 New to me last year. I'm still learning the single screw 32 foot boat thing but I can tell you it's not that hard. I've had boats most of my life. Our family was raised on the water with boats. The one piece of advice my father always repeated over the years is... "If...

    Which one? Nordic Tug or Taiwanese Trawler.

    Great information.........thanks! As much as I like the NT, I think I have to have two separate cabins with heads and showers. My wife says we need them for guests. The MT will be less of a risk as far as dollars lost when I get ready to sell. So now I keep looking. It would be great to find...
