Please see my post regarding bilge / battery issues in the S-35 forum. Need help! Along that vein, I saw someone's blog recently, wherein the person restoring the boat had actually RIPPED UP the cabin sole and replaced it. I'd LOVE to see those photos again, but have since gotten a new computer and lost the link to his blog.

Any help?

Thanks
Mike

Well were are finally away from the dock again.  Yesterday we left the Mazatlan Marina and motored two hours south to anchor off the beach at Stone Island.  I have a Spot shared page at the following site  [to visit site click here (Copy the password w/o the quotes first) -webmaster]  and you can go to it if you are interested in following our progress along the Mexican coast.&nbsp

I have been delaying this for too long. I need to get the individual boats up and replace the out-of-date boat pages from the old website. I need the following people people to contact me ASAP for details of how to gather content and photos of their boat for submission to me.

Last summer I saw a Spencer 28 for sale on craigslist. It was in Ladysmith, BC, about a half hour south of where I live. Curious, I looked through the SYOG list and couldn't identify which one it was. I replied to the ad via email to get more information from the seller but didn't hear back.

Merry Christmas and happy new Year People!

I wanted to share this with the group. A friend asked me how my trip went. This was my reply.

There aren't words for what I experienced on that trip, but I'll try.

I would like to publicly acknowledge and thank the following individuals for their generous donations toward the operation of this website:

David Vollrath - November, 2011
Mr. & Mrs. Bob Burton - November, 2011 (The largest single donation EVER received!!!)
Patrick Dickie - December, 2011 (This was Patrick's second annual donation!)

One of our own members, Patrick Dickie owner of a Spencer 35 "Janine" has written a truly first class detailed review of the Spencer 35. Here is a link to Patrick's review. <Click here> The website would like some additional pictures of Spencer 35's to go with Patrick's review. If you are so inclined, you can submit additional information or even add your own tidbits and comments about the review. The website is also looking for other Spencer models.

I have been working VERY diligently for the last month and half, spending nearly every free moment working to get Christy Lee ready to sail. Today my diesel guy called to tell me he had the new cutlass bearing and stuffing box in, the shaft installed and aligned, and the big, bronze, three-blade prop on. The engine has been de-winterized, filters changed, and a good once-over completed. He just needed some fuel in the tank I drained a few months ago and he was ready for fire it up. I haven't heard from him since, and the only time he calls is when something's wrong.

It's been one year since I bought Seawyf and brought it over to Nanaimo from the mainland. In that time I've made a number of upgrades. After 48 years many of the systems were either worn out or obsolete.
