A heater, defroster, insulation and heated clear view screens. Possibly a
storage location for your immersion suits. As opposed to your water skies.

What makes a boat a "high latitudes" cruiser? It's a term I've seen a
few times and I'd like to know what makes it different to a "blue water"
cruiser.

I no longer live in Alaska,and enjoy the tropical areas of Puget Sound and
the Canadian Gulf Islands for Winter cruising.

Ah yes, tropical Puget Sound. How much snow did you get last night in
tropical Puget Sound? ;)

Heating on yachts is often a bad joke. Presumably a hi lat boat has a
good furnace. There is one originally intended for trucks that is
supposed to be pretty good.

Airtronic aka Espar or
Wabasco

Little diesel powered hot air heaters, forced hot air heat in your boat.

Warm AND dry.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, heavn!

Hey Justin:
They need to be designed by a navel architect for specific areas of
operation not a marketing vp who wants a cheep fleet for their bare
boat charter fleet in margarita Ville.

Think "slow... heavy... stout" = expensive. Small cockpits but people
dont like them cause they cant intertain a cocktail party. Think small
port lights 7"x15" with 3/8" glass not picture widows like Red Cloud
has.... uh, had. Think all groco bronze through hulls not plastic.
Think "small" sail plan 15.0 SA/D Ratio. Mine boat is 14.7 cutter.

But now some one will say, "but if you have a fast boat you can out
run a storm." to that I say, bull****.

I have one. I live at N45. Just need to drive it hard. ..............
absolutly wonderfull !

Hey,
I heard the name but never seen one..... Just searched and found this

http://www.tedbrewer.com/sail_steel/murray33.htm

Damn.............. that is a stout boat! Humm, steel in 33 feet, no
bow sprit! Cool. Sorta looks like a Cascade on the underside.
Must be fun.
Do you live on it?

Back to what is high lats......... I found that saling types in San
Diego and LA call SF northern california, Those in SF call north of 45
bad and woolly. those of us at N45 look at 48N and go burr and then
there are those fools north of the 50 line ?!?!?!? WTF is that all
about? Spent two summers in the Bering on some 80' boats. figure a
blow once every 1-2 weeks of 40k-50k and 20-30' seas. of course there
is the 1-2 days of building and then 1-2 days abating. not bad
overall. I got to see the sun twice. Once for about 30 min the other
for about 10 min..............

But sitting in a 33' sailboat in that stuff would be significanlty
diffrent than sitting in a hot tub drinking hot sake while someone
else is driving the boat ;)

Actually the cutter version (which I have) has a small bow sprit.

I am fortunate enough to get 6 weeks out of the kennel to go romp on my
boat. Last year I went from Sydney, NS to Lewisporte, NL and went
through 51N doing it. I live on her for a few weeks in the summer.

My wife swears to me that this summer she will spend some time on board.
Well maybe forth time is a charm?

Joe, you gaveup to easy! I was hopping for a better school yard
****ing match. Iv been up since 4am and am gettting a bit board.

It's hard to tell, you're quite boring most the time anyway. I had to
go work on a boat part.

So where is Red Cloud??
Bob

Not sure Bob..

I hope Vito got her, his lifes ambition was to be a pirate of the
Caribbean.
He said he would name her "Fist of Fury" on one side and "Enter the
Dragon" on the other. Until I see her again, besides in my dreams,
I'd just be guessing..but if you want a guess I'd say the NW corner of
the Sigsbee deep about 30 leagues south of the west bank of the flower
gardens.

Actually the cutter version (which I have) has a stubby bow sprit, about
3'. I am fortunate enough that my handlers let me loose for 6 weeks
(w/o pay) in the summer to go play. Last year I moved her from Sydney,
NS to Lewisporte, NL and went through 51N in the process. Bergs! Cool!

Yelp..We use to get some of the best spinny's you ever seen off the
well heads and platforms we were removing for Mobil..6-8 inch spines
orange and purple mostly..Caught a 270- lb Warsaw grouper there at
High Island 386. We use to average 700 to 1000 lbs of snapper every 2
weeks on. Worked stand-by boats there for a couple years for Point
Marine. The Point T and the Point Barrow.

"Life's a bitch and then you die" forgot who said that, but it's been
that kind of a day.
