So tell us Bob, are you the type of "cruiser" that always stays at
slips, or are you the type that runs a genset all night?


I'll let you know. We never had a genset before and we usually anchored
out. We took a slip at Centerport once but that was when Suzanne was 7
months pregnant. Otherwise we anchored or stole a mooring late.
We're actually taking a wait and see attitude about the genset. I have
access to a nice one, but won't install it if we decide it's not
needed. My friend has one on his Tayana and another on a C&C 34+. They
love running the AC on the more brutally hot nights. BTW, the PDQ I was
on had an expensive AC system and a genset. Your objection to these
things really makes no sense. If you like a frill get it....if not,
then don't. You have a boat that doesn't heel and that's a frill I
don't want...and it's more indicative of what type of sailor you choose
to be than any genset. Raffles Light cruises the world with her genset
and AC systems. Big deal.
