I did not change my boat's name, BuscaBrisas, which is Spanish for "Looking for breezes". Actually, there is some motivation to change it because most people I talk with have trouble pronouncing and spelling it, but I haven't the heart since it is her original name. I bought her from a guy...

May I ask what these "special strength and conditioning exercises" are that you speak of?

I elected to buy a carport for my restoration shelter. For your boat, a standard sized one for a car might work, and you could then sell it after you were finished with it if you wished: [img]http://www.htmills.com/images/LF-carport.jpg[/img] Defender http://www.defender.com might be a good place to...

like just the thing for a boat.

Any thoughts on whether it will stand up over time to the tough environment?

a home-designed/built 30' boat that has an outboard in a well that has a really slick design: the outboard pivots up and a flap folds down to fill the hole, greatly reducing the turbulence created by the well.

Way cool, but it does take a long cockpit to work.

a yacht is a pleasure craft that has a paid crew

a sailboat is crewed by her owner

The view is the same from either:
