I tried to do this 7 years ago. Don't bother. Keep your money in USD account since it must be paid in USD, order the boat to be delivered to Europe (with CE package), pay all the customs and enjoy! That is what I did.

I have 5 boats and M26 is the most difficult to steer of them. As a matter of fact it is the worst I know. I normally have dagger board down and at least one rudder. When there is no wind everything is OK but even light wind makes it difficult. Going 4-5 knots is too fast in my harbour. There are no...

it is nice to notice I am not the only one having this problem. That trolling motor idea is really good and worth investigating.

hi, I didn't buy mast raising system when I ordered my boat. Now I think I should have. I was going to order one from the factory but shipping costs made it too expensive, over 400 USD. So I decided to make my own version. It looks quite simple system. The only thing which might be critical is the l...
