Hi Malcolm, Melilla is a very nice place, with cheap and clean diesel. Booze is also very cheap. Marina Smir is also a nice place, with an excellent beach and a good hub to visit places like Tetuan,

Hi Malcolm We haven’t visited Melilla but Ceuta is a interesting spot to visit thoughnot over blessed with mooring space as I remember. We also enjoyed Port Smir, alarge marina which was almost

Hi I am a new owner of a SM and hoping to take a trip from Souther Spain where she' moored over to Morocco (maybe Melilla) and I just wondered if any one in the group has been there or has any

Bill, I if you gave the Swan 66 I would immediately sell it and but a nice Amel 54. It takes 4 or 5 people to properly flake the main in the boom and at least 3 to sail her—too much boat. It was

Eric, I enjoyed your Swan 66 email. I looked at a review at http://www.yachtingmagazine.com/yachts/birds-of-a-feather-swan-66-fd?page=0,1 If you had a dozen Super Maramus like yours, you might be able

I sailed an X562 recently... goes like sn*t but I bought an SM... They have different purposes! Still brings a grin on my mug :-) Jean-Pierre

Today I drove from Long Island Ny to Portsmouth Rhode island with a friend. He wanted to see a Swan 66. He had seen it previously out of to the water but now wanted to sail her. We took her out in

One tip, after you use the toilet, drain so there is no water in the bottom of the bowl. This stops water getting to the motor when the seals start to wear. I have not replaced any of my motors for

Bill that spreadsheet sound really useful. I will take a look at the suggestions. We were trying to figure out if adding splints would still allow it to make the slight bend into our tank. We think

Dear Eric and Bill, for the past few years I have trimmed a generic oil seal with a new Stanley blade and replaced the Jabsco original, it usually gives you another six

Ours broke as well, we drilled a small hole in each part, and tided them together edge to edge. A little bit wobbly, but it does the job. Ann-Sofie S/Y Lady Annila At Carriacou, Grenada Skickat från

Would someone please supply me with the part number of the Jabsco macerator pump on a hull number near mine and possibly the rebuild kit # for the macerator? Fair Winds Eric Kimberlite SM 376

Looks like they just opened it up and re greased it. It is a lot easier to just add grease fittings as I have previously described and grease the furler annually—takes 5 minutes. Fair

I used glue specifically made for Plexiglas. It bonded the broken halves together perfectly. When that hardened as I said before I added 1/16 inch thick Plexiglas on either side about 8 inches long

I am with Mark on the JB Weld, and with Eric on the splints, or instead of splints, wrap the break with 3" of fiberglass and epoxy. The stick on BeBe is fairly accurate. I measure each time we move,

I added 1/16 inch Plexiglas to either side and used Plexiglas cement . it has worked well for the last 8 years. Fair Winds Eric Kimberlite SM 376
