Ian, We had our SM in Brunswick Landing marina summer before last. It was a good hurricane hole, and they have not had a hurricane there for a very long time. They do have a small yard that could

Hi regarding lifting on the AMEL plates. If the lift people have a spreader beams as wide or wider then your beam that is a better solution. The boat is lifted straight up on long cable/ straps. It's

Gerhard, We did this one time while loading onto the deck of a cargo ship in 2011. We had to either disconnect the Tradic Stay between the mizzen and Main Mast, or find a solution so that the cables
