Thanks Loren!

Thanks everyone for your input. Turns out I think I had already made up my mind on the Origo 6000. I'd done quite a bit of research and just needed to hear that other people were happy with it. If anybody hears of a deal on one....give me a holler. In the meantime I'll be keeping an eagle eye on...

Thanks Loren, I'm going to start scouring the landscape. the Origo 6000 is really what I want. All the extra expense is a major consideration I hadn't thought about. Did you install your Origo and if so are you happy with it ? Thanks, Tim

Someone replaced the original stove and oven (probably propane) with a small fridge. I don't really like the fridge, but probably would hate the original stove worse...lol. I really like the new Origo Alcohol stove/ovens but don't want to fall into the trap of spending more on my boat than I...

Vince is right, Mark. That's why we love to sail. There is always more to learn and a new adventure around every corner. I've been a member for about ten months, but have sailed my whole life. Ask a lot of questions! For the most part, you will find experienced sailors eager to answer and...

Well, there are a number of simple and primitive ways to determine direction. We shouldn't lose the point that being equipped and prepared isn't even enough sometimes. The point is that "we are". Tim 1976 E35 MKII

This costs all of us in the long run. Put these Jack-Wagons in a powerboat and you've got real problems. Tim, 1976 E-35 MKII #470 :esad:

Oops..... Sorry about that, and I was just getting started, lol :rolleyes:

Hi Dave and Donna-Marie, What you can see in the pictures looks good. I do worry when they say it has a fresh diesel, then they don't show you a picture. I realize you can only show 4 on Craigslist though. Galley and head are not shown either. She looks beautiful, but that's the downfall of the...

Is the price right? You didn't tell us the price. Sounds like a nice E35...need a lot more info though. I own an E35 MKII. They're wonderful ! Tim

Good local information trumps a full boat Thanks Jim and Seth, That's just what I was hoping for. Tim

I hope with good winds we'll have a nice 6-8-hour downwind romp. A nice reach would be more appreciated. I plan to give Port Hueneme and the missile and firing range a wide berth. The chart calls for a three-mile safe zone. No problem. I'll stay off shore past Point Mugu then start shaping a...

I will be making a passage in my E35 MKII from Channel Islands Harbor to Marina Del Rey Memorial Day Weekend, yes I know... the timing is unavoidable. Any tips, tricks, warnings, thoughts? Anyone made the trip? Tim
