Anyone know the cost (approximately) of having a yard install a bow
roller and electric/manual windless to a 38 foot boat?



SWAG - $150/hour x 5 ?


This whole thing is a troll. Who has ever seen a 38' sailboat without a bow
roller?

Be sure to read the whole thing, (it's a riot) be sure to expand (open
button) the letters towards the bottom and read them too. Once a netkop

Did you see the other recent discussions about the same thing? Somebody else
stoled your thunder.

Maybe you oughta be thinking about libel lawsuits that are surely heading
your way. I don't think Sailsea.org is going to do nothing about your public
defamation of them as an organisation.

This whole thing is a troll. Who has ever seen a 38' sailboat without a
bow roller?

In shopping for a boat, I have been amazed how many have neither.

I guess that's true. You have to wonder though... it is difficult, if not
extremely difficult to haul up an anchor without a windless, especially
without a windlass. I wonder what that says about the rest of the boat...

The demographic of typical sailors has changed over the decades. The
average cruising type sailors tend to be older on average than they
were 20 or 30 years ago. New boats reflect that in how they are
equipped.

You can keep sailing to a much older age if you have the right
equipment on board.

That's why things such as furling mainsails have become so common now.



I agree of course. I was thinking that if the boat hasn't been upgraded in
20-30 years, then the owner hasn't used her much, maybe because she has
other problems that aren't so obvious. One really needs good ground tackle
for decent cruising and even for weekend cruising, not to mention for
safety. All it take is one small engine problem and looming rocks...
