[PUP] PY Cruiser

[David Law]

People I recently sent for lit on the Island Packet PY Cruiser it arrived and quite interesting it is but it was ot till I asked about Stabilizers and a wing engine they sent me a reviewand IT HAS SAILS, yes it has not shown in the lit not mentione on the price list think of it "America's Cruising Yacht Leader" as the lit says missed the fact this cruiser has SAILS maybe it just slippped their mind to show them in the external shots better to show computer generated sailor joe and his dogs.
  All for Island Packet Yachts.

  Hi Milt -

Yes, this can be a dangerous time and must be minimized. We find it best to
keep the fish in until we are favored with calmer seas, when they are not
needed. In some cases we will run them right into an inlet before retrieval
In
fact webre removing 6 feet of chain from the tow wire so as to have the fish
run at 9 feet for coastal cruising. Webll put the extra 6 feet in when
passage
making.

Since our retrieval system is armstrong powered, we are able to deploy and
retrieve much more quickly than a powered system is. On Seahorse, the fish
stow
in holsters which are mounted on the cap rail, outboard and just aft of the
outrigger hinge. After slowing and bringing the boat head to sea, we simply
lift them from their holsters and drop them in, close to the boat. Retrieval
is quick, too; after raising the outriggers to about 20 degrees from vertical
I use my body weight to pull down on the rope portion of the tow wire, and
stop it off as the fish clears the water. Then with a boat hook, I quickly
hook
the chain just above the fish and pull it up to the rail, grasp it and lower
it into its holster. The new system has a retrieval line rather than
requiring a boat hook.

Regards,

John
"Seahorse"

> Especially when the boat is rolling, the time when the fish is
kissing the water then becomes a pendulum then goes back to the
water--that's the difficult time! It's also the time when we're at
most risk for damaging the boat with an out-of-control paravane."
