Kept wondering if it'd be cheaper to stay with external halyards (we have most or all of the blocks) rather than running conduit and dampers internally. We have pinrails and belaying pins too....

I used to have one just like that donal, but I got tied of waiting on tug boats every time I wanted to get underway. I put my radars on the 3 set of spreaders tho.

It looks like MacGregor 65, on steriods.
The Macgregor 65, is also known as the cheapest and cheapest built 65 footer on the planet. MacGregor claims it is the fastest production cruising sailboat built (under sail or power), including even the large cruising catamarans. And it has won how many Transpacs? ZERO [0] This from a designer who didn't think to put the galley sink close to the centerline! Do you like the cheezy interior? No wood anywhere! Just drab fabrics, plastic, and stainless steel. http://www.fastnet-yachts.com/go.pl?...Gregor-Yachts- 65-(1992).htm From what I hear most people replace all the deck hardware. I'm not sure why. I would think they'd have to buy that stuff from one of the major manufacturers. I'm also told that used boats of this type are worth more than a new ones because of all the work the previous owners had to do to make it right. http://www.boats.com/content/default...ontentid=10092 On the plus side. The boat uses no core material, and the hull deck flange is external. Capt. Mooron wrote in message ...

Mooron misquoted; the latest Benneteau Elite.
Ahem...excuse me....Elites are made by Kirie...Beneteau and Kirie are both found in LaRochelle, France, but they are NOT the same company.... -- katysails s/v Chanteuse Kirie Elite 32 http://katysails.tripod.com "Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea." - Robert A.
