What is Renovate a Sailboat and Cross the Atlantic about?
This book was inspired by my purchase of a 1973 Pearson 36-1 on eBay. I already had a Pearson 26, so I knew the quality of the construction and what I was facing, when considering putting the Pearson 36-1 through a total renovation. This book details the renovation projects, the suppliers of materials and electronics, the advice that I obtained from older sailors and marine engineers, and how over a three-year period, I was able to visit the boat on Long Island, NY and spent 2-3 months every year for three-years just to get the vessel mechanically ready to make an ocean crossing. In order to get this boat completely, legal in the EU, I had to import it, pay sales tax and then subject the boat to a Post Construction Assessment survey. This means that every piece of equipment on board had to be CE-marked or in some cases, convince the inspector that the piece of equipment or the installation met or exceeded the standards set by the EU. We followed the ABYC standards on the electrical and propane installations, the Yanmar engine was CE marked and much of the other equipment we installed was UL and CE marked. I outline my experience of shopping for a PCA survey and how I had prices ran
