So I am a fan of the Yankee 30 (a current San Juan 7.7 owner) and have been looking around the area, done some research on the boats and am wondering if within...
The Yankee Yachts factory in Southern California was noted for careful work in laying up the hulls. Fiberglass work was done in a temperature/humidity...
I don't know anything about the Heritage, though I have to say the the factory hulls aren't immune to blistering, I have hull #73 and just fixed about a dozen...
I carefully looked over a Heritage in Tacoma for about 3 hours that I was considering buying. There was no evidence of cheap construction, although finishing...
I have a Heritage Yankee (Felicity) here in Hood River. The hull is STOUT. I can't really speak too much more from a technical perspective regarding layup...
That's her all right - sorry it was Olympia, not Tacoma. This was about 2 years ago and the owner had let her go quite a bit. I told him to put some time and...
I have a Yankee 30 on the S.C. coast powered by a 20 y.o. Yanmar 2GM (13 hp). It still runs but isn't strong enough to push against any headwind or chop. If...
I have a Universal M4-30 that the PO put in, I believe 25hp, no problems, more than enough power. ... (13 hp). It still runs but isn't strong enough to push...
Another thought is that you do not have the proper prop. Can you run it up to full rated RPM? Does it seem to lug and put out smoke when trying to run hard? ...
It depends on what you want to do. I sailed a 10,000 pound, beamy and rather slow vessel for years with a 12 hp 1 cylinder yanmar and it was lots of power. ...
I would suggest that you talk to a good prop person. One thing that I feel will always be a problem with the earlier Yankee boats is that the prop is too...
Hello All, Has anyone had good luck in matching the original color and finish on the cabin's mahogany when installing new work? Jerry Thompson SV Jericho, Hull...

Does it have no power but sucks fuel? Does it sip fuel? These are telling indicators. Does it run smoothly under load but won't rev up? Does it start well?...
Hi Bob, I just replaced the headstay on my Yankee 30 Emerald. I used the HI-MOD mechanical swage fittings which I love because they are stronger, last longer,...
There seems to be a void between the sole in the head and the hull on my Mk1. It is probably not more than two or three inches deep. It might be possible to...
ahhh the sunshower..... gotta love em. that is what we do now on my San juan. I was just curious and with no way to closely inspect a yankee i just wondered....
Thanks for the comprehensive note. The motor seems to run fine now and will push the boat 5--6 knots on smooth water with no wind at 2000 rpms. I have had...
How do I clean out my raw water exhaust system? My Y30 has a Ferryman single cylinder that seems to be putting out progressively less power over the years....
Ned, I have the same engine in my boat and generally cruise in the 3000- 3200 rpm range, running 5-6 knots in smooth water. If you are getting the same speed...
I have a 20 year old Yanmar 2GM (though it's rated at 16-18 hp), as does my friend. He used to run it at 2200 rpm, had problems with it, and thought it was...
Hi Phil: I've got a 1971 Yankee 30 for sale in San Francisco. Its in pretty good shape, but could use some love. If interested, send me an email, and I'll...
I have uploaded a picture (folder "Owen") containing a picture of a Mk I keel. Can anyone tell me what the fitting near the center of the keel near the root...
