"Swab Rob" wrote ... Right, it really hurt me when you said my boat doesn't heel. What other faults did you find - too much ventilation? According to you, when you want to have some sailing fun you go sail a dinghy. We all know that the PDQ 36 is something less than fun to sail. Folks who love to sail buy 35s5's, or even Express 30's, Jeff. Nobody equates "sporting fun" with sailing a PDQ 36. NO ONE. Not even you. When we go sailing with family, with friends or just the three of us we like to be on a boat that's fun, a boat that heels and can get our blood pumping. We don't want to be on a river raft. That's what you like and that's fine, but don't compare it to the very different activity of sailing a monohull. When we sailed on the PDQ 36, my wife couldn't even see the point of it. We might as well have been on a powerboat...a really slow one. So, when you sail downwind do you place all crew on the rail to induce heal? People who love the shape of boats rarely love a monohull, Jeff. Huh? SBV |

"Capt. Rob" wrote in message oups.com... Changing cooking fuels is a very extensive project in that the tanks, the tank locker, the hose, the regulator, and the burner orifices must be changed. This is not a do-it-yourself project. Only qualified service technicians should perform the work. The parts for the job are less than 125. Have you priced a CNG tank? regulator? The original locker vents fine for CNG... You don't need a vented locker for a CNG tank. SV |

Hmmm... well, if you're not going to use it much, why bother with the
expense... I don't see 200 bucks or less much expense and we will use in rare occasions...just like the air conditiioning. It's not in the way and nice to have when we want to use it. RB 35s5 NY |

Propane is not a problem unless your brain dead and unable to maintain a system properly. Joe Not allowed to maintain LPG systems here unless licenced to do so....too bloody dangerous having people do their own work. Also, the system must be certified safe at regular intervals, usually 3 or 4 years for insurance. Cylinders retested or replaced every 10 years, must be galv on a boat. What about Al.? SV No ally LPG cylinders here, Plenty of SS ones. Any idea why? We have lots of Al tanks. Scotty |

CNG is a much safer and cleaner burning fuel. Scotty Absolutely! And because Oz is so far behind the times in this respect, one of my companies does quite a lot of business converting CNG to LPG on boats purchased in the US, and a few motorhomes. There are virtually no CNG cylinder exchange or refill centres here in Oz, and those taht are, are well away from the water...Pity. There are several right in my sailing area. Also, you can exchange them via UPS. Scotty |

People who love the shape of boats rarely love a monohull,
Jeff. Huh? Over the years well meaning freinds have given me a fare share of sailing calendars and coffee table books. They have pictures of great old J boats and newer racers and tough little catboats, but I rarely, if ever see a boat like Jeffs. People learn to accept the looks, but beautiful is a term I've never heard used on a cruising cat. I think some of those huge ocean racers flying their hulls are dramatically beautiful in their own way though. People in love with the shape of boats rarely love a multihull. RB 35s5...one hull of a boat! NY |
