@@dietermaier4116 All Venezuela, for which we didn’t have a visa for. Otherwise, we would have stopped.

We apologize for the delay in responding. We have left the area and are currently in the ABC island group. Best of luck to you.

So, a believer of the Roman hoax on modern man, thinks their reasoning on the cause a weather disaster is sound. How does this square with book of the Hoax, where it is written that the god you speak of gives warnings BEFORE it meets out the collective punishment.

Oh wow! I don’t believe it was ever changed. The guy I bought it from didn’t have any documentation showing it was changed so I always assumed it was original.

If you need any more info on the boat find “SV Carisma” on Facebook and I will private message with you.

Haven’t had any problems at all. We keep it covered to protect it from the UV.

Byron - I actually removed them in place of a sail arch. They are sitting in my garage- for sale if you are interested. Find us on Facebook (SV Seabbatical) and PM us.

Sorry Not on facebook but am interested Price, pics thanks

sailingrr hi there

Mike vohs it’s holding up great! No issues at all. I’m pretty happy with it so far!

@@SV_Carisma56 How's it holding up a year later? I'm considering using the same solution to cover up some cracks in my 473 countertops.

Matthew Fitch - Highly recommended- it looks the same now as it did when we applied it. In fact, we are moving into a new boat soon and are already planning on where we are going to use it again.

Will do-- that will tell the true story!

As an absolute maximum- yes. It is different for each brand. For instance, the Revere Offshore 2.0 has a reinspect date of 3 years. This DBC had an annual requirement. However, 5 years is the absolute maximum you should wait since the survival gear inside usually expires at 5 years. In our case, the life raft was already long overdue when we bought the boat.

Bill- typically we run with the back unzipped and rolled up so one of us will stand on the back and catch it. If necessary we will heave to but typically we only bring the drone out in light winds so landing is quite simple.

Warren Fraser thanks for your opinion- figured a picture was worth a thousand words. Apparently not in this case- even though most got it. Will adjust on the next one. Point is- feathering props typically work best at reducing drag when the transmission is placed in gear.

Claas R when you have an auto-feathering prop on your boat your transmission should be placed in reverse while under sail to prevent drag.

Chris W- I would defer to the owners manual. People engineer things all different ways. Saying that- every owners manual for a folding prop that I have seen says your transmission should be placed in reverse while under sail. You want to prevent any spin which can result in the centrifugal force to open up your blades.

napalmbreeze - Thank you. It is the fuel injected 15hp short shaft. MFS15ES. We love it- starts on the first pull every time.

This was in the East Flower Garden Bank, Gulf of Mexico (110nm east of Galveston)

David Slavik quick question before I can answer fully. Where do you plan on cruising with the boat?

Mustafa khan We have one, too. Love it! So comfortable and fast.
