David Schroeder: Hilton Head, SCExperience:
40 YEARS OFFSHORE AND INSHORE FROM LONG ISLAND TO BERMUDA TO CARIBBEAN AND SOCIETY ISLANDS.Boat Review/Upgrades:
ORIGINALLY LOOKING FOR TAYANA CC BUT WOULD HAVE HAD TO GO TO 55 WHICH WAS TOO BIG. ALTHOUGH THE E42 IS MUCH SLOWER IT FITS OUR NEEDS AND OUR POCKETBOOKS. STOREAGE TOPSIDE IS NIL BUT BELOW IS PERFECT FOR US TWO. INSTALLED NEW FURLING HEADSAIL AND MAIN SYSTEMS THE LAST TWO YEARS WITH HOOD ON HEAD AND FACNOR ADDED ON MAIN. BOTH SEEM TO BE WORKING REALLY WELL WITH NO LOSS OF SPEED WITH NEW MAIN. BOAT IS TRULY UNDERAPPRECIATED BY THOSE EXPERTS AND IM STILL WAITING FOR PRACTICAL SAILOR TO DO A REVIEW OF THE 42. WE PLAN TO ADD A WATERMAKER THIS YEAR AND TURN ONE OF THE WATER TANKS TO FUEL. CAPRAIL JOINTS NEED REBEDDING, WILL DO THAT THIS YEAR. REALLY COULD USE A GENSET BUT WE ARE MAKING DUE WITH 2 NEW BIG GEL CELLS AND A 150 AMP ALT. ALL IN ALL A GOOD CRUISING BOAT FOR A COUPLE.
