I have a working Vire 7 available.

Thanks, Adrian.

Certainly a BIG fear.

I would say 60% or more of the time I sail single-handed. The CO26 is perfect for that, no question.
My wife will not overnight on her though.
Even with something roomier I am still not sure she would.

I fear that I will move up, and then regret it.

Worst case, I move back and get a newer Contessa. Mine is a '71 Rogers.
I would like a Shannon 28, but they are hard to find.

Hi All:

There is a silent majority out here.
Silent, but attentive. Even if we aren't checking in as often.

We are too busy watching Tim's work on Equinox. WOW, RB great stuff.

Adrian:

GREAT job that you have been doing with the site.

The spam invasion seems to be daily now.

I was wondering if it is possible to prevent new registrants from posting on the day of their registration.  Could new registrants be required to wait 24 hrs before posting? And might this limit the number of spammers?

Thanks for the hard work.

Yes, I replaced the cheeks. I did not find the job that difficult and was very pleased with the results.

The old cheeks had been glassed in but cracks developed resulting in delamination.
I ground down the glass and removed the cheeks. I then used the old cheeks as templates for designing the new ones. I used mahogany. After two years now, the cheeks look like new!
I attached a couple of pictures.

Can any one explain when/how the crown insignia became associated with the CO26?
Is it a Taylor vs. a Rogers distinction? I am much more familar with the "CO" insignia.

From what I have seen the "CO" seems more prevalent. Is this true?

Thanks

Jim

She looks most lovely. Congratulations!

Just to add more confusion though, my '71 JC Rogers in CT is also "Tess".
Named by a previous owner. She was known as "LADY ANNE OF ST DONATS" and skippered by David Sutcliffe in the '76 OSTAR.

Tess is federally documented in the US.
Hope this does not present too much difficulty.

I stay within the confines of the Atlantic pond.

Many happy cruises.

I still have the Vire in my '71.  I can think of many descriptive qualities for it. 'Dubious' may best fit for now.  I have gotten very good at removal and installation. Like the days of the old '71 VW bug. Yes, would be willing to exchange for 1GM. No hull #.

John, I am wondering if you are restricting the list to only JJTaylor's and excluding JCRogers built boats? There are a couple of us here in the States.
