Welcome to The "ALOHA BANKS" Clipper Marine 30 Web Page!
This web-blog is my online journal of the refitting project on my CM30 Clipper Marine Sailboat. You'll find
a variety of topics on the actual refitting as well as links to other sites on the web that I have found helpfull in
the project.
Here "She" is. This is the boat sitting in her slip on Karr Lake. The boat is now 90% complete. My ne goal
is to have her ready for the spring cruise sailing season.
Ok here is the catch up. First the boat is in the water and most of the interior
is completed. Paty and the kids spent one weekend on the boat over labor day. Rick helped me pull the boat from my home to
the lake and we launched her in July.I plan on spending one week this month
on the boat to finish the water system and the shore power. I will add the electronics and the nav station before the sailing
season starts in April. The boat sits well in the water which was a concern after changing the interior as I did.
This is where it all started with Ricki
and me putting his boat in the water and taking mine out. At least the refit. Notice the cradle on the car hauler Ricki designed
and built to move his boat from Maryland to Raleigh with boat unseen.
That’s Ricki's Ford F350 full size diesel pulling the CM30 on our 27’ sailboat trailer.
