You forgot.... FORGOT about a 29' Phoenix???

The story behind the Phoenix has a bunch of twists and turns.



That's a great story. Thanks for sharing.

My father in law, who unfortunately is not doing to well at the moment,
always enjoyed building highly detailed plastic scale models in his
retirement. Military models, automobile models, aircraft, trains,
spacecraft... you name it.

He enjoyed the building process but I don't think he ever finished a single
one. This almost discouraged me from buying them for him as gifts but the
after I thought about it I realized if it's his hobby who am I to tell him
how to enjoy it?

Grand Banks ... also the most demanding in terms of acquiring boat handling
skills.


Twin engines would solve that, with some decrease in economy of
course, offset by increased reliability/redundancy. There's no
question that our 49 would be more economical with a single engine but
for the type of long distance cruising we do, and the ability to
maneuver confidently in close quarters, I'd be very reluctant to give
up the twins.
