Hello Jim,
We have a separate listing for the Buzzards Bay 15 which can be found here: https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/buzzards-bay-15.
In fact, you helped us update that listing at some point a few years back.
We’ve replaced the drawing of the Marconi rig with the one you sent and updated the sail area on the Herreshoff 15 page. Thank you for sending that.
BruceHello Jon, We looked into this a bit and could not find any indication that any Olson 30s were built by Ericson. We have removed the link from the Olson 30 record.
Thanks for reaching out and giving us the heads-up on our error.
BruceThanks for the “heads-up.” We’ve added a record for the VX Evo. You can find it here: https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/vx-evo
Thanks for posting this. Not sure why the email did not work. I’ve tested it and everything seems fine. No matter, I have your information now.
Again, thank you!Good catch. You are correct, the Skipper 20 does not have a swing keel. We’ve updated the record to indicate a fin (shoal draft) keel.
Thanks for the “heads-up” on our error.
Hi mhsorens, Thanks for sending the links. We’ll take a look at them and use what we can.
While we currently do not have a separate Neptun Yachts builder’s page, we do have information on three Neptun models. the 17, 210 and 31. To see them search Neptun in our Sailboats database.
Thanks again.
Hi Ray, Sorry but we did not receive your email. Please check that you sent your email to contact@sailboatdata.com. Thanks,
Hello Ray, Please send any documentation you have on the Aldebaran 8.15 to contact@sailboatdata.com. Then, depending on what you send, we would be happy to add the boat to our database. So you know, we prefer not to use information from For Sale ads as they can vary from ad to ad and often have information which is not accurate.
Thanks!If I understand your question, you have to have your boat measured. You can find out everything you need to get that done at the ORC site: https://orc.org/index.asp
Hello p_smith. It’s pretty hard to price something this way. Condition is critical but location also plays a factor. I would suggest starting here: https://www.nadaguides.com/Boats/Sailboats. You should be able to get a sense of your boats value from this site.
I don’t think NADA will help you with your Nimble though.
Hello jhb. While the boat in the video appears to be clean and well cared for, only a survey can determine her true condition. If you are considering purchasing the boat, we HIGHLY recommend you have her surveyed.
Hello thethomaswastaken, After taking a closer look, the drawings we had for the Out Island 33 were taken from the preliminary plans drawn in 1972.
We have what we believe is an original brochure showing an interior layout similar to what you have sent so we replaced the drawing.
The photo we have is from the cover of same brochure and, in our opinion, shows the boat best so we kept that image. If you have a nice exterior shot of your OI33 and would like to send it to us, we would love to see it and would consider using your photo as a replacement.
Thanks for reaching out and the photos. We appreciate it very much.I guess you can say that. As you know, performance varies depending on the sails. Reported sail area is based on actual sail area. While nothing is 100%, builders tend to report SA based on their standard sails. Some will report using a Genoa to improve the performance number. Because you can always change sails, this is not necessarily the better number to use to compare boats. Using the rig measurement is better for that.
Also, keep in mind the other half of the equation, displacement, is almost always “light” which is with permanent equipment installed but tanks empty and without previsions, crew, etc. To my way of thinking reported displacement should be to the designed waterline but that is not always the case.
