Last saturday may turn out to be a really good day. First, my wife and I flew from Seattle to Oakland to check out an E38-200. Second of all, the Seahawks won the division title, and last but definately not least, my long awaited and backordered Nigel Calder book showed up! Back to the 38. We sailed the boat in the Estuary in about 13 knts of wind and I was abosolutely amazed with the boat. First, with a 90% and full main, we were doing well over six knots upwind and more importantly, the feel of the steering is REALLY light. I was very, very impressed with how the boat felt as well as how quiclky it accerated. By no means am I saying it's a J-109 or anything like that, but for what it is, the boat sailed great. We made an offer and if it passed a few milestones, looks like I'll be in Sidney in a 38!
I need to verify that there is not core saturation since I saw a fair amount of water coming in on the starboard side of the V berth, most likely though the portlights. There was also water inside just aft of where the anchor well terminates. With the headliner in place, it was really hard to isolate it so hopefully a surveyor can give it a clean bill of health and I'll be left to rebedding everything. Depending on what happens, it will either be or :eek: followed by
Wish me luck.
