Brad commented on Captain Bob's group Catalac Owners"Hey Catalac owners! Two hulls a better than one! I had a 8m and really enjoyed sailing to the Bahamas on it. Sold in in 2000 but may get a 9m sometime soon."

Captain Bob said… - Sorry to hear that but you had some fun for a while, you live on the island side or the mainland side of the waterway. My sister lives on Atlantic in Daytona Beach Shores. But you have trees around so what out for flying limbs

Betty said… - I'm not at a marina right now - I don't even have a boat any more. I had to sell mine in 2007. Had a really great CT47 - but way too much to singlehand, too expensive, etc. I did find out that I was not a good singlehander after my partner left. I had the boat for over 7 years, 3 of which I singlehanded it. Unfortunately, I'm stranded on a sandbar at this point. At least I don't think my house can drag......

- Bob - guess that's why your cat never answered my cat. My furry friend is from Trinidad - she sure needed a home. We're waiting on your friend Fay to come visit us - I'm so glad she didn't get any stronger over water. BUT, she still has a chance up here when she hits the Atlantic and then comes back.

Bruce Bogdanoff replied to sam's discussion water in sump near shaft packing gland in the group Beneteau 40 & 43"My hose clamps also needed tightening last year after I overheated the engine after an impeller failure. I assumed it was because the hose expanded or the clamp was not tightened properly when the boat was built.

water in sump near shaft packing gland
I recently found water in the sump aft of the engine under the packing gland. Of course my first suspicion was the Volvo gland, but turns out that the water was coming from the entry to the water lift muffler. Tightening both hose clamps stopped the leak. I had never checked those clamps before as they were a bit out of the way, but I suggest that its worth the effort. I found that the aft wood partition on the engine compartment was easy to remove / replace and enhanced access. Took the…See More
Sailing on . . .
Metaphorically I am sailing on. My life has taken a turn down a new road. To encompass all that is going on Sea Knots might be limiting. Then again, the transition to sassea.blogspot.com is like sailing upwind against a current. It is as confusing as learning to sail. You might remember those days. Learning the foibles of a foreign language. Multiple meaning words like tack and phrases like 'fall off' were a bit mind boggling.Perhaps there is a closer resemblance to transiting from Sea Knots…See More
