They also offer the Farymann 18. On the 32, I can't remember if that is an A32 or a 32W?

Anyone have experience with a Farymann A32? I hear they are loud, but something draws me to this engine.

We are looking for a small 8-10 HP diesel for our 28 Herrshoff Rozinante. The smallest Yanmar is seawater cooled. This is the best size and an easier installation, but how sensible is sewater cooling. If I buy a new engine, how long will it last in NE coastal waters????

Where are you in Oklahoma. I'll be in Norman for a couple weeks in March, I'd love to see her in person.

Apparently I've got questions on all aspects of this project. I have the cabin gutted and sanded with 36 grit. I plan to make things down below as cozy, wooden and as LFH would like to see it as possible. I was originally thinking of gluing thin bead board to the overhead and running beams perpendic...

It sounds to me that the general consensus is to fill what I can and then build up a good thick layer of glass over the crack. The cost of epoxy makes it seem a bit crazy to just dump a bunch of it into my keel. Maybe it's not such a big deal if I use polyester and live with it shrinking a bit. Than...

I will definitely try to inject something into the voided areas. Not sure what yet. I guess whatever is cheap, durable and heavy. I guess polyester resin is just that. Any idea what the average shrink percentage is? Thanks so much for all your advice.

I did not measure from side to side at all actually. It just jumps right out at me when I look forward. I guess I'm looking mostly at the poured concrete underneath the mast step and the notch cut in the berth supports which makes it obvious that the mast partner is installed as far to port as possi...

I have another post in the repairs forum regarding my 1966 Cheoy Lee Herreshoff Rozinante. If you have not read that post, I am in the process of overhauling the cabin interior and repairing a hole in the keel. I have also noticed that the mast step is well off center. Like roughly 1.25 inches to po...

I am a proud new owner of a 1966 Cheoy Lee Herreshoff Rozinante. I picked this boat up in Michigan last summer and dropped it right in the water down here on Cape Cod for the season. I now have it out in my barn and am in the process of gutting the cabin and repairing a crack in the keel. Throughout...
