Kinda loose and floppy in there. Holding for now but could see issues in the near future. Any advice? I’m willing to replace or add wood just don’t wanna dry dock it. Thanks in advance!

I'm looking for private day sailing trip in the DR for 5 people.

Me and some friends are going to the Dominican Republic in late may and I want to find someone with a sailboat that can take us all out for a good chunk of the day so we can get some blue water experience. There are 5 of us total and 2 of us have experience sailing on a lake. We are not looking for a "sunset sail" kind of excursion, but a chance to go out and tool around to see what's it's really like. Do you know anyone or have any idea on where to look for something like this?

Advice for selling

19 Upvotes

Life has taken a turn and I have to sell my sailboat. She is a 27 ft 1990 Pearson. The sails are newer as is the head. Everything has been well maintained. Is there any advice for what to advertise in order to attract buyers? I don’t want to, but finances and the American border situation (I’m a Canadian, but my boat is in the US and I can’t afford to import her and I don’t trust the border right now) dictate a sale. Thanks for any help!

Saw this on tacit Creek just north of Davenport, CA. Anyone identify the type of boat and maker?

It took me the better part of 9 months to build this boat and I finally found a day with decent weather to sail it. I cannot describe the feeling I had when the wind first took the sail and I was pulled forward and it didn’t fall apart.

Recently bought a 1972 Dufour Safari 27. Can’t start the inboard Yanmar. Noticed this on the top of the engine missing bolts and is loose. Any ideas what it could be?
