Lobsta1, I lived in East Greenwich back in the late 60's. Sailed nd once they found out that I could use a slide rule, I became the handicapper for the Wickford Yacht Club. At that time we sailed frost bite in the winter and open races all summer. Great fun.
I looked into a mainship, but the Admiral really wanted to get a wood boat.
I am 71 years old and think that I have taken a really big bite for myself. The Mainship 34 is really a nice single handed boat with lots of amenities. I wish that I had done that, but life drives us differently sometimes. I have almost two new 34's into this project now. It will be almost like new when finished this June. I did not let them shine up the dings. The old girl earned all of her marks and gouges.
Our Oceanis 43 was recently serviced and since her return neither of the heads macerators are working. There must be a master switch located on board, trouble is I cannot locate it. Any assistance most welcome.BilgolabandsSee More
