I wonder if the bow configuration is any different on the basic SM vs your SM2000? Other people are reporting that it fits, but maybe they are leaving it hanging a little. Thanks, Steve S/V Aloha SM72

Hi Kent, Thanks for the input on the Rocna. If you don't mind, how about if I drive up to Fernandina when you are around, and I can take a look. We just finished our trip back from Guatemala a couple

Hey Kent, I may be able to get there on Sunday or Monday, and would enjoy meeting you and seeing your boat. I suspect Liz will come as well. If you could give me a heads up when you are heading toward

Thanks for the report, and you have a hull number close to ours. I think we have decided to go ahead and purchase the Rocna. Regards, Steve and Liz S/V Aloha SM72 St Augustine, FL

My wife and I are fairly new owners of SM #72, and have recently ordered the arch made by Emek marine in Turkey. We have our boat in Georgia at the moment, and are giving her a minor refit. You will f

Thanks Alexandre....which connections did you clean? The switch, or the connections at the solenoid? Steve Aloha SM72

OK Bill....I feel dumb. The breaker on our boat was labeled as windlass, and I had no idea it controlled the Genoa furler as well. In the past, I was always going sailing and had the breaker on, but t

Hi Kent, On #72 there is only one large breaker ( probably one of the many changes through-out the production run). A previous owner had labeled it Windlass, and I had no clue it controlled the furler

A crook he may have been, but his anti-competitive law stayed around for something like 38 years. Glad to see it go!! Steve Aloha SM72

Thanks for the info about Tiger Point. As well as paint, and normal service chores, I need to have the iron keel blasted to bare metal and coated, as I have some rust issues. I'm sorry to here your Cd
