Well done on Rule of Thumb. Man I want this boat! Covid took my business out, so frustrating. I'd already be on a plane there three years ago. Curious how available and expensive marinas are in the area, mooring balls and slips? I'm in Boston. Pricey here. Thanks.
Looks nothing like the keel in the 35-MK3 drawing above. There are no rounded edges in either original keel at least on SB Data's / Ericson's drawing. Was this the actual '83 keel then updated for '85? The 83 keel's edges are wavy. 85 model looks far more refined. 83 looks hand shaped and I...
..fellow architectural photographer here, can confirm. ha! It's nearly impossible to use a long focal length lens shooting boats in marinas or close quarters!
Oh very good.
What are the odds there's an audio book of this from Christian so I can listen when I drive from here, where the deer and the antelope play, to the bay, just four hours away? (rhymes unintended)
Thank you
Dale
Roger that! Thank you both for the welcome in.
Reading your Makana blog now, what an effort! I might ask to pick your brain (brains?) on the 32 as I get closer to making a decision. I'd guess Christian did a ton of updates for that crossing if not just because he wanted to dial in in his way...
Oh wow you bought Thelonius! Thanks for the follow up. I rather prefer the mast forward against the head wall, at least for a more open interior. Performance might not be as good (?) but I think the hull is rated for 7 knots.
Thanks for sharing the updates to Makana! Wow. So great. I think...
Wow thanks so much for the info and advice Christian! Much to learn but this a great start. I'll just be day sailing close to the coast, probably tethered to shore with two instructors at my side to start haha.. just kidding. It will be three instructors. It's a long road ahead of me and yours...
Thanks Bruce! Really appreciate it. If I noticed correctly, the newer 38-200 design moved the mast in to the middle of the cabin. Or they just moved the boat forward, depending on how you look at it! ha, many thanks.
Hello all, first post here and new to Ericson. So inspired by Christian Williams' YouTube videos I think I may have found my choice for my first 32. I also might just hold his channel record for most replays haha.
I searched the forum for a "Difference between the 32 MKII vs MKII" thread...
