Hate to do it but Winterhawk is no longer welcome in my backyard! She is hull #122. Has a good running A4. New motor mounts, shaft and and cutlass. Soft decks...
Hi all, I've begun work on my boat shed, a prerequisite to getting down to it with the restoration of my new to me Yankee 30. I had promised myself to finish...
Wish I had your energy. Good luck on project. Here is a picture of my solution to exhaust. New in that it goes to aqualift in bilge, old in that the exhaust...
Thanks, Peter. Why did you stick with the original routing for your exhaust when switching to the water lift muffler? Simplicity/it was there? Or is routing it...
Chris I found your site a few weeks ago. I was surprised to see that everything is so current. The other sites I’ve come across are very old. I’m even more...
Hi Justin, Congratulations on buying Winterhawk! Great name for a Yankee, also - for some reason they remind me of hawks - I mentioned on my page about naming...
Hello Group, I thought I would introduce myself. I purchased Aquila (Hull 94) in Green Bay, Wisconsin this past fall. I will be sailing it down to Chicago...
Welcome, Bill! I looked at Aquila (remotely, I never went up in person) before buying the one I've got, and might have gotten her - but while I was trying to...
Thanks for the welcome Chris, I added a photo album in the photo section. I had to laugh when you mentioned the broker for my boat going hunting all of the...
Hi there, Chris, I am Zane in Auckland, New Zealand. I am just wondering, if it is not too rude to ask, how much you paid (an approiximate figure will do)for...
Hi Bill, She looks great - I'm sure we'll both be happy. I've heard the same great things about the Yankee's sailing characteristics, and look forward to...
Hi Zane, I paid $7,000 USD for my Yankee, which is probably about right considering the work she needs to get back in the water. All the basics are there, but...
Hi Chirs, S&S Defiance 30. Built in Australia as a racer. Here is the reply I got from S&S themselves: "The Defiance 30, Design No. 2098-C4 was based on our...
Greets Been lurking on this list quite a while and the last threads and new blog have been particularly interesting. For those of us contemplating buying a...
Chris, I think you are splitting hairs here. Displacement and ballast values reported are usually designer's targets and can be quite a bit different in the...
... No no...not really just trying to learn. Specifically why someone chooses one model over the other when they are all similar to a degree. What I mean is ...
Hello Zane, Actually, there ARE Yankees (at least they are S&S design #1999) in Oz. They were built there and sold there as the "S&S 30". But everywhere else ...
Thanks for that clarification, Owen - I wasn't aware that there were two _different_ S&S 30's. I thought that the ones built in Oz were the same as the ones...
Good question - why does a person pick one boat over another? There are any number of reasons ranging from technical to aesthetic to convenience, I suspect,...
... Yup but all the criteria are important. Personally I think the weighting of those criteria becomes the most significant point leading to a purchasing ...
... weighting of ... purchasing ... I actually have a spreadsheet with a bunch of criteria across the top with adjustable weights if anyone is interested -...
Chris; Why was a diesel engine importent to you as opposed to and Atomic Four? JS ... From: Chris Campbell To: yankee30@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, February...
The Yankee 30 was S&S design #`1999. The Swarbrick 30 is the Australian counterpart. JS ... From: hauraki_blue To: yankee30@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday,...
Hi JS, Good question. The Atomic IV is a well-known engine, you can always find someone who knows how to fix it if you don't, parts are easy to come by, and...
I've started a blog to show the progress on Winterhawk, you can find it here: http://winterhawkrestoration.blogspot.com/ I've spent countless hours reading at...
I guess I take issue with the statement that diesels "have less to go wrong" since the one thing that frequently goes wrong with diesel engines on sailboats is...
