[@georgeburns7251]

This brought back so many memories…. The good old days when we raced in SF bay on saturdays. Thank you. The grid was way ahead of its time. Bilge is sooo clean. Great interior too. Wish I was younger, but glad for the memories. This boat is in great shape. Love the LORAN…. Wish they kept the system up… one day when Russia kills GPS signals we will wish LORAN was still active.

What a happy accident to come across your video. As I’m approaching birthday number 85, I understand your lingo. I still have the itch. Cruising was my thing. I sailed the East Coast from Clearwater, FL to Penobscot Bay, mostly offshore. Occasionally inside. Of the boats I’ve sailed, my favorite was and is my Stone Horse, hanked on tanbark sails and simplicity. How my late wife loved her! My favorite spots: Maine, Narraganset Bay, and Chesapeake Bay. Can’t do it anymore, but the memories are still vivid. Thanks for your efforts. Good thing my driving is limited, as I’m not far from Bridgeport, and the venue is tempting.

When i bought my 1985 Catalina 30 4 years ago she still had the Lorans and the original VHF. Now all new electronics.

[@Early8Q]

Good one! I remember those 32/28s quite well. I bet you raced against my friend Hume Wells, Pegasus, on his in the Marblehead race? My gang was a little out of sync, we went from a Paceship 29 to a C&C 29, and then a Kirby 30. Those were some fine times for sure! I think we all mastered the broach back in those days.

[@YachtHunters]

Wow. The names Hume and Pegasus ring sn old bell with a crack in it I think she might have been the one who came out of the fog bank after three days of racing to Halifax about a mile or less ahead of us She hit 3rd and We 4th ! Love to know if my memory is clear. Thanks so much for writing Alan CQ

[@YachtHunters]

Is Hume still sailing I hope

[@Early8Q]

@@YachtHunters If I were a little closer I would go explore the archives at the Squadron. I haven’t been there in two years. What year would that have been in the mid seventies? I am trying to recall Pegasus, I think she was white. Hume had a C&C 38 and C&C 40 that were both dark blue. He would likely have been sailing with his sons, Mike and Bobby I think. And he might have been seen standing on the foredeck in the fog with his Whistler radar rig around his neck.

[@Early8Q]

@@YachtHunters Unfortunately no, Hume slipped his lines a few years ago, and is on to better seas.

Old Paceship ... I have a day sailer made by them ... love the Maritimes !

A nice boat that's even in my price range that doesn't need a ton of work. Alas the wife has vetoed any chance of a sail boat. Keep the dreams coming Captain.

[@Nerd3927]

Wow, this is a gem! Everything including the electrics is original. No one messed her up. That is really hard to find! The gasoline engine makes the boat hard to sell now and in the future, you get a lot of boat for very little money.

[@kevio6868]

that Atomic is quiet. The atomic fans really swear by them, especially since OEM replacement parts are still abundant. Overall she's is really nice shape and almost turnkey for $10-12K

[@bucknaykid5821]

Wow what a cool deal for a little racer! It might be nice but as I too am getting a bit long in the tooth I don't think this would be a good fit for me. But for you younger fellows this is priced right for adventure and some fun entry into racing with a couple of your buddies!!!!!

Check out our picks of the year (2021) as there are a few under $50k that would do the trick (think Pearson): kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpnFn2arncufhJI

[@johnbrooks1188]

That Loran C was not original, since Loran A would have been the loran system in place in '72. The unit on this boat was probably from the early 80s. Texas Instrument had some the first yacht Loran C units, which did not have waypoint capability - just TDs ("time delay" readings), which were easily plotted with an interpolation card (which I still have).

I’ve been thinking about and procrastinating about getting my first sailboat for awhile now. Do you believe this is a good fit for a new sailor? It is close to home for me, but I was thinking that I wanted something with a shallower draft. And maybe roller furling in case I need to reef the job quickly.

[@davidwilson9247]

Seems like a great value.

[@davidwilson9247]

Don’t forget, we were younger then. OleDave

[@YachtHunters]

What draft were you thinking and why. …ask yourself. That. I sailedfor almost two decades with 8’ I just didn’t try to beach her Roller furling wasn’t born with Ssilboat. It evolved for raving and simplicity I go think it has s down side in h th hat too many skippers carry too much sail too long. In the old days we read the weather and prepared in advance for wind changes up and down As far as ‘dumping” it a hanked sail can drop to the deck like a rock most of the times. If you get a boat with roller you certainly probably wouldn’t go back to hanks

[@claytonallen3361]

@@YachtHunters I was thinking 4’ draft would keep me out of trouble in the marina entrances, and maybe in the Bahamas someday, my only experience was a small power boat with less than 2’ draft. I expect to take awhile to get experienced at sailing and don’t want to break anything during my “rookie” time.

I am a big fan, and support what you are doing here.

I wonder how many bow men know how to properly change headsails on an old school offshore boat?? Secret is to undo very bottom hank, and put on all the new hanks. Drop the old sail while furiously undoing the old sail hanks. Which is why the marine braid netting on lifelines was so important!! Nothing like doing that in six foot waves on the great lakes......

[@YachtHunters]
