Once again Thanks to all for your advice and comments. FYI for those captains needing to move your mate forward on the concept of cruising there is a great article in the latest PassageMaker Magazine May/June issue page 97 " A couple's Introduction to the Cruising Life" - my wife responded very positively to this.

No suggestions. High usage in production boats - nonsense. Out of 300 boats, 1 M miles in 5 years ? Note that the pennant program only captures the ones who trawler - not the 2/3 who stay home. Average is average, not average of travellers. Does not like me to criticise too-expensive junk. The sub zero would be an example. y known as Trawler World Productions.

...what is the hull material, what is the general arrangement etc....and try to limit the discussion to these topics until they are almost defined. I say almost, because they can always be revisited, but you gotta start somewhere! Just my two cents... Thanks, Brian

ch order you tackle systems, because there are no right or wrong answers. For instance, you mention hulls. I would contend that every possible hull is a valid option for the "Perfect Passagemaker," because there is no one perfect boat. Is there a buyer for whom each possible hull type is the right answer -- sure. There occasionally might be a case where one system affects another, but this is rare. A discussion of nav systems is the same whether you have a wood, FRP, steel or aluminum hull. A discussion of ground tackle is the same, whether you have one engine or two, etc. -Ken Williams Sans Souci, N6805 www.kensblog.com

Have you unhooked it completely, let it sit there for a while and then hook it up again? Sometimes it works... when it is mildly upset. Cheers, Magnus
