If owners of a particular breed are loyal to their boat it says a lot about the boat .would you rather listen to an owners recommendation or a salesmans?

feeling refreshed to your horror you realize you cant remember which pontoon your boat is on.And yours and all the other boats are identical Etaps

Which of course is the opposite of what happens.

Walk into any marina and your hard pushed to find an ETAP arent you?

Re: Point of information

A couple of years ago an Etap was flooded (all seacocks left open) and sailed from Calais to Dover. Upon arrival in Dover Port Control would not let them in as they had no engine. So they sailed back to Calais.
It was reported on in some sailing mags at the time - IPC might have missed it, but I have the Sailing Today article.

There may be other boats about that don't "sink" when holed, but Etap's the only one you can still sail!

Depends on your definition of 'sail'? I suppose they do sail like they are full of water even when they are empty so it is probably a reasonable claim!

Just joking honest /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
 
Re: Point of information

From Mike Lucas's Site :
"Tests were in due course carried out on a Sadler 26, by opening all the seacocks whilst sailing off Poole in 22 to 25 knots of wind. The results were dramatically impressive and written up in several yachting magazines, since the boat could continue to be sailed, with the natural water level only coming upto the bunk bases. In fact, as part of the test, the little yacht was overburdened with water from a remote fire pump, which initially made the motion a little "groggy". However, the boat went off sailing again and the water attained its natural level (just above bunk base) and finally sailed home."
 
Re: Point of information

Yer wasting your time Dave, no one will believe you, if a boat fills with water it sinks. That what happens to every other boat so why should ETAPs or Sadlers be any different. Sorry mate your deluded. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Mind you if it were a feature of Bavs, Bennies, Jannies, Duffies, Twisties etc, it would be talked about all the time. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
