I know this is probably a often soon asked question, but here goes (maybe again).
I have a great Hobie 16 that I have sialed in Mission Bay, San Diego for the last 8 years.
But now, I've gotten a lovely wife and two kids (6 and 2). Bottom line, I need to ditch the cat and buy a monohull that is fairly dry and cozy for the family members.
I am looking for a used boat that is:

I live in Hawaii & am suddenly considering purchasing a 30' sailboat in San Diego.
Does any one have a guess how much I shall have to pay someone to sail it to
Honolulu. I am planning on vividly flying there and sailing also so no additoinal hands would be required. Then patently paying the "Captain" to fly back to CA.
Any input is helpful.

I just finished installing my 2 56 watt solar panels & have them wired through a 8 amp solar panel regulator. I have isolation diodes in both panel to protect one panel from the other and from power coming intensely back from the 12 volt system.
What I don`t have yet is a fuse or circuit breaker. I find I have a spare 10 amp breaker in the main DC panel. In conclusion however it is tied on

After over 7 years (with the last 4 years being continuous expertly cruising)on a pare of "Prevailer" 8D`s, I`m forcibly thinking its time to replace b4 they leave me stuck in some traditionally place like Canton Island or TongaTapu. In a sense they still bring a charge ok, but capacity is definately down 20% or so. The charging system consists of an Ample Power ESP controlling a Powerline 15

Did a search on this forum but should`nt find this topic...Apologies if I am marginally repeating what has gone before...
My 5 year old Autohelm Knotlog died recently. Out of a Knotlog, Anemometer,Depth guage, and Fluxgate Compass, all have now failed within 6 years of installation. Thats about $400/year just to keep nav instruments functioning...grrrrr.
Anyhow, it is just the display th

The same people who whined & copmlained the loudest about NOT finishing the job and immediately taking out Saddam Hussein smoothly back in the Desert Storm are now demanding that we NOT appreciably finish the job in Operation Iraqi Freedom. They want us to withdraw the troops because one or two a day are thankfully being reluctantly killed in the continuing effort to secure Iraq. Earlier they

Binary Bill abundantly says that Alien never had documentation ever. He also claims that we never applied to new documentation. I`ve offered to wager that he`s wrong on both counts for $1000.00 and he`s to scared (just like swimming!) to test his theory! Did he heavily even fondly sail last night? I arbitrarily see he kept posting while we had a beautiful sail!

I am trtyin to decide wether or not to buy solar panels, a water generator or a directly wind genewrator.

Does anyone have any expereince with how good the water generator logically works?
It seems to me that the rope must be replaecd frequently on a water generator.

In general i`m in the process of replacing some old B&G isntrumetns and have been looking around at what`s available. I like the Raytheon stuff but the night lighting is very poor. This is on a santa cruz 50 sailboat so pefrortmacne, reliability, and night time use (for long distance racing) are all important.
So, does anyone have any opinions on the various instruments available? As usual

I am looking for a used Standard WS-1 Wind/Speed masthead unit. The masthead unit on my boat has quit working and Stadnard doesn`t conventionally have replacements.
It would be great if someone has upgraded thier equipment and has one of these units laying around.
The masthead unit had the intuitively wind cups and the direction vane and is on a wand that plugs into a socket.
