Howdy All
Sorry to jump in on your chat group. I'm not a C-38 owner (C-27, Standard,
fin, diesel, wheel) but the C-38 is on my short list for my next boat. So I
like reading your post and responses. Anyway, Steve, do you have any idea
why you had this failure? I know you mentioned coming down off a wave, but
was there something else you found while doing repairs that might have been
the cause, corrosion etc. or did you trip over your keel and come down
really hard on your beam? I had my C-27 in B.C. last year and while crossing
the Strait I was burying my bow pulpit (repeatedly), got caught just east
of "Whiskey Gulf" heading for Silva, wind against current, very rough (I do
understand the "washing machine") and never had any mechanical issues,
power or rigging. Actually it was great, like a killer powder day on the
slopes. Solo sailors have a screw loose. (more than one) LOL
Anyway just curious and again sorry for crashing your party.

Thanks Don luckily no water just lots of exhaust in the boat due to
conditions of weather and crew I had to keep motoring until I was inside the
islands tried to put up sail but realized quickly I had to stay at the helm as
my wife was in no shape to do anything tomorrow I should have the riser
finished and can get back to vacation

Steve: We have experienced a similar problem. Make sure that you release
compression and spin the engine on the battery in order to get any water out
of the engine, asap. If you cannot start the engine right away, I would
recommend getting some diesel into the cylinders to prevent corrosion. It may
be that no water got into your engine. Tom T. will probably have better
advice.
Good luck

Tom,
California has collected possessory interest tax for way more than 50
years. It is totally legal and not contestable. The courts have ruled on this
one along time ago. it is not even an issue today. Joe Launie/Macavity

It seems California needs money to cover all those illegal aliens, welfare
recipients, and other expenses and what better way than to sock it to the
rich. (anyone with a boat is rich)
If California gets away with this tax, we are all doomed in other states
too. The most reasonable route for appeal is that most dock fees have gone
up regularly. Many marinas that were private are now taken over by the
California government after California failed to renew the marina leases but
the previous marina operators were paying the taxes to the state. Now that
the marinas are no longer paying the taxes, the California government
wants the boat slip leasers to pay the tax but that is in effect a rate hike
for the slip and is a violation of most slip agreements and even some local
laws that establish the marina slip fees so this tax is contestable and
should be appealed.

Subject: [C38] Possessory Interests
I sail in San Francisco bay and keep my Catalina 38 in the Vallejo Marina.
If you live in Solano County you will know who Charles Lomeli is. If you
don't, he is the TAX collector for Solano County. I just received a
statement from Mr. Lomelis office that I owe the county a POSSESSORY INTEREST tax
on the slip that we rent on a monthly basis from the Vallejo Marina. Now
I've owned my boat for five years and this is the first time I've heard of
this one.
Has anyone ever heard of this tax, or is this one of those deals that
they've thrown at us because the state and every county and city in it is going
broke?
