3# man crew: Me, myself and I; and a case of liquid 'thirdman syndrome'!
Nope! single handling is the way to go-naturally, not being totally anti- social...I'm susceptible to a 'siren sweetly singing'!:O:A dream: Despite the fact that this boat is built as a top-of-the-range yacht, she can virtually be sailed single handed. Push buttons located at the steering pedestal allow you to raise and lower the anchor, or set and sheet the sails. "Push button sailing" is no longer just a symbolic expression, it is reality already in the standard version like this Hallberg-Rassy 62>: http://www.hallberg-rassy.com/typo3t...2Yaghan-41.jpg $? don't even ask:wah:$8**,*** USED! but your paying for the designer Germán Frers!
http://www.hallberg-rassy.com/upload...neroom.jpg.jpgBasically, I want a 'blue-water' sailor to get out of the BAY around the Farralons or down to Mexico :timeout: on the famous 'HA-HA' cruise; a rite of passage which our most experienced crewmember has done, and back in relative security. The Cheoy Lee will do that ok. The Catalina isn't rigged for it and won't take the strain; I don't trust the 3000lb-keel bolts...even though they were replaced when the boat was bought 2 years ago.:dead: |
We had a 44 Peterson which just sold, not as much teak as that Cheoy Lee but they do look somewhat similar. Think it's the age of the boats, anyway furling systems are the best, we had the old Hood Mark I jib furler. Called the manufacturer looking for new bearings one day. Tech support had to find an old timer who knew what a Mark I was. Really liked the day too when we finally broke down and rigged a lazy jack for the main.
Kinda miss that life when your days routine revolved around the time of tides, sunrise, and weather. Now its back to calendars and clocks. Never had a cold the entire 8 years living aboard her either. :) |
2 spoonfulls of honey, a couple of spoons of lemon juice, 6-8 cloves, boiling water and a shot of Irish Whiskey (optional). Tastes ok too.
It works. It's a real energy/vitamin bomb and 10 times better than all those chemicals there are in all those over the counter remedies. You could of course try it without the honey, lemon juice, cloves and boiling water...... Get well soon |
