    SAILRITE CLONE

    I am just catching up on this thread, as I have a Sailrite. I was looking for an idea of what they now sell for, only to find out that Solent Sew don't list them any more. I'm thinking of selling mine, as I'm no longer cruising. but have no idea what to ask for it. Ebay recent ones have been...

    So just how many clothes does a girlie really need?

    One bag? Just ONE bag! Thats VERY restrained in my book. I assume you are going to be living full time aboard.... in all sorts of weather and circumstances...? People who come and visit for 2 weeks have brought more than that... Just have a rule that if it hasn't been worn after a year...
