Subject: GB update
From: Short Wave Sportfishing Just out of curiosity - does that sail deal actually work? I've used them. And they make a noticable difference for the better in a beam sea. And while they're not really made for it, I read about some folks who sailed a 32' through a bridge and into a harbor when their engine failed. Capt. Bill |

They are well on their way to achieving a goal of one boat for every day of the week. The possibilities boggle the mind. :) Next thing you know, Eisboch will buy a marina.

================================= Interestingly enough, we ended up with our GB49 because my wife felt comfortable with it. It does have a nice homey feel in many respects. It's also interesting how close the 36 and 49 are in appearance: http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/hoonos...lbum?.dir=4f58 It's not "ours" whenever it needs cleaning and maintenance however. Then it's mine. Wow! Beautiful. I really like the layout and the second door on the port side. Obviously a much bigger boat. What year is it? It looks brand new. I also took a peek at your other pics. Your pool looks very similar to the one at our house in Jupiter, including the screen enclosure. Our only problem is our enclosure no longer exists. Jeanne completely destroyed it and there is about a year waiting list to have it replaced. Very nice location, I might add. Sometime we'll have to meet down there. Eisboch |

I would think that there would be a lot of leeway with something like that. Later, Tom Boy, have I got a lot to learn. I thought the sail thingy was just to confuse sailboaters. Eisboch |

It was built in 1981, and yes, having a door on each side of the main cabin is very convenient. The starboard cabin door is right next to the lower helm which is very nice for single handed docking. It had a new Awlgrip paint job on it when we bought it, and that is holding up well. The external wood took a beating over the summer however and I've got to get to work on that soon. We just finished replacing one of the generators, as well as new props, bottom paint, shafts and cutlass bearings. The next big projects are to replace the fuel tanks, overhaul the refrigeration/freezer system, get a new SSB radio, maybe a second radar, and get the autopilot working. The fun never stops. We're going to take it north next spring after I retire, and live on it for the summer while we cruise all of our old favorites in the north east. |
