I havent been here in about a hundred years, but aren't the life lines a bit to tall for the boat?
Have you cut the jib to deal with this issue?
(I miss my Commander Hull #264)
Iceman
Do you have a trailer for this Boat?
Ice
no trailer, and The life lines came with the boat , I had a new jib made high cut similar to the ratsey one that came with the boat. after sailing with the current life lines I rather like them.
regards, cbs
I'm thinking I like those lifelines, pushpit and pulpit mui! Would you happen to have the height measurement in your head? 26"? 30"? Each time I go back and look they grow on me more and more.
I used to really want something that was 'to scale' visually, but, a knee high trip wire would spell disaster for me.
...wanna sell em?....:cool:
No worries
If I buy the boat Ill probably keep the bow pulpit and stern pushpit and aleviate the life lines all together,
I used to race Blue Penguin Hull 264 and a J 22 they are kinda a nuisance on a boat this size. Besides I had a 150% DECKSWEEPER at the time
Ice
I am so glad summer is here in the North
The Life lines are fine they are a help when things Pipe up, and get a bit hectic, your already ripping them off the boat and you haven't even made a offer Geez!:)
Your right.
Probably have to wait anyway.
Just received a job offer to return to Antarctica this October. Water is frozen down there
Have a great summer
Good Luck on selling
Iceman, how is your Voyager 26? Do you still own it?
Thanks for asking
I sold it to a new owner/home.
Made me an offer I could not refuse
I am boatless at this moment. Its good and bad at the same time.
My simple life got complicated this spring.
I should write a book.
Ice
I am still married
30 years come July 8 2008.
So thats not part of the complication. But could be part of the book

Oops. :o Looks like I found an add for Madras, CBS great looking Commander already posted on the board
Looks like it is still for sale, might be a great boat for someone.
I called on this one a week or two ago and was told someone that owned it 20 years ago bought it.
