[C38] Crew for Catalina 38 delivery from San Franciscoto BritishColumbia

[S. Orton]

Joe,  Check out their web page- http://www.yacht-transport.com/home.  This is a "float on-float off" yacht carrier ship.  You do not have to unstep your mast.  The next date going north from Ensenada is mid December '08.  For the heck of it I asked for a quote on our boat.
Cheers, Steve

  Steve,
      That ship designed to haul small boats would  be well worth the sail to Ensenada if  it did not require unstepping the mast. I read about a barge that they were using on the East Coast where the boats sailed on the barge which then functioned as a dry dock. Do you know if this is available on the left coast?  You could save two large yard bills on each end of the trip. Joe

    Phil,  When I read your email, my wife in the next room heard a giant sucking sound!  In my youth I worked on a gasoline tanker with stops in LA, SF, Portland, and Seattle.  To me San Francisco was mild compared to seas off the Colombia River.  Also there aren't very many safe harbors north of San Francisco.  With a lot of luck, this trip could be made with an "experienced skipper" who knows his boat's problem areas well and with very good real time weather forecasting.  My boat will probably end in the Seattle area and I've given a lot of thought of how to accomplice the task of getting from San Diego area to the Sound.  
        1.  Pull the mast and truck it up.
        2.  Sail south to Ensenada and put it on ship designed to haul small craft, which has west coast "ports of call" of             Vancouver, BC and Ensenada only.

      Rumi Rustum is a C38 Association member living in Canada who just bought a 1989 C38 in San Francisco.  He is looking for crew members to help him move his boat in July.  He is a novice sailor who has a good mechanical background.



      He may be willing to pay crew airfare to San Francisco and from BC, depending on the distance involved.  If you are interested, you can contact him at
