Hi: We have a 1990. We have lots of prop walk in forward and even more in reverse. That seems to be par for the course with this model. When we throw it in...
The pull to port under power in reverse is prop-walk. This can be reduced quite a bit by changing to a folding prop. We use the two blade Autoprop. The...
Thanks for that info. We don't consider these issues enough of a problem to spend the kind of money these fixes would take. I knew a folding prop would help,...
The propwalk problem is well known, as we have heard. It seems to be worse for wing keels than fin keels, possibly because the fin keel penetrates deeper into...
Welcome to the group. I'm sure you'll have a wonderful time. This forum is a great source of information, and friends! We have a 1990, wing keel, and yes the...

Greetings, I'm thinking of installing an (old) Dickinson oil heater to my boat. Are there any C 28 folks out there that have a bulkhead mounted oil fired...
Hello Group, I am changing from winter work and summers off to Summer work and winters off. Has (or is) anyone cruised a 28 in the Bahamas or down the islands?...
Bill, I have asked this question two times and both times I was advised against it. I was advised to leave the Chesapeake via the intercoastal waterway, cross...
Hello Len, Thank you for the offer. Let's keep this in mind for next fall. We can certainly pick our weather and points of deprture. Perhaps take some...
I have sailed the Bahamas for weeks at a time on 23' and 26' sailboats. As long as the boat is solidly built, size really becomes a matter of creature...
Has anyone had any luck successfully damping the noise from the engine in the cabin? Under power, the noise is remarkably loud compared to other boats that...
