I need some ins. advise. Sadly I am having to put Faraway in dry storage due to my going to Sicily for 3 years. :D :cry: I can't seem to find a reasonable insurance quote, all companys want to include towing and uninsured boaters for a boat in dry storage on the hard and demanding a through hull fit...

Sense getting Faraway (CD30 B) some 8 months ago I have relied heavy on info from this site. Now though I have a hard decision to make and feel I really need all the advise I can get.

I am seeking the mounts for a winch. On my CD30 I am mounting two more winches further aft on the boat. I have been trying to find the mounting brackets that are already in use on the CD but have been unable to do so. Does anyone know were I could find two of them.

Thank you all for your help.
I guess though I did not say it right, what I am trying to figure out is should I leave her a documented vessel or get a state title.
I really do not think I will be bouncing around the world anytime soon and will be 99% coastal us.

I am really having trouble figuring this one out.
Faraway was purchased as a documented vessel but still has to pay state sales tax and regerstration.
Is it really better to maintain her as a documented vessel or better to aquire a state of Fl title and be done with it.

Faraway has all dark teak inside and even though it looks good I know nothing has been done to it in over 7 years.
I know nothing about doing teak.
What product should I use and How?

I have a cd30b and over the next 4 years will only be able to make short coastal trips one to two weeks.
