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?

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

Well, I suppose it is conceivable that there may be some people who
never anchor and never even think they need to anchor so perhaps they
carry a light aluminium anchor and no chain and think that is Ok even for
a 38' boat..
But this side of the pond they would be laughed out of court with a 38'
sailboat so ill equipped and certainly would not be able to get
insurance.
But I still think this 'Janet O' Leary' is another troller tho' I gave
'her' the benefit of the doubt by giving some good information in reply
to 'her' first post.
But ever since then 'her' posts have always been vague generalised
questions apparently just to get discussions going. If, as 'she' first
said someone is 'giving' her a boat why have we not been told what make
and type so that we can home in on some specific points?.
I am out of this one therefore.
'She' can buy some books and read about the basics therein as far as I am
concerned..

Who are you talking about? I started this thread because I have found
that the majority of boats for sale, in the 32 to 38 range, 1977 to 1985
do not have a windless. many do not have bow rollers. It appears there
are few "cruisers" for sail (sic) that are equipped for cruising. Most
seem to have spent their lives tied up in marinas.

I thought Janet O'Leary started this thread. He he! YOU are the O'Leary sock
puppet, then.

Busted!
