Circumnavigation of North Atlantic in
40 Caliber LRC
I’ve been sailing on and off
for fifty years, but seldom out of sight of
land and never days from shore. I believe I
was subconsciously working my way up to a
trip just like this when I purchased my
Caliber 40LRC. It was reputed to be, and I
have confirmed, an excellent blue water
boat. In years past I have made the usual
pilgrimages to the Florida Keys and the
Bahamas, but I knew that this boat was built
for the long haul and just crossing the Gulf
Stream was not challenge enough. I was
shorting myself, and the boat, by not
treating her to a real adventure.

Instant
Classic - The 31 Mainship Pilot
Every so
often, a boat comes along that hits a nerve
— the right boat at the right time.
Sometimes, because of its lines, lasting
appeal and singular characteristics, it
becomes the right boat for a long time...
Mainship now has launched the 31 Pilot, an
update of the 30 in one sense, a totally new
boat in another. And it too seems destined
for great popularity and a long run...

The Next Step - Your Survey
Surveys
are one of the most informative phases of your yacht purchase.
You should be in attendance. Even if you are purchasing
your dream boat from a family member or best friend - you need
a survey! With an experienced surveyor, issues will be revealed
that surprise even the current owner. When
working with Beaufort Yacht Sales, you can fly in your surveyor
or choose from one of the local surveyors.

Beaufort
As A Preferred Jumping-Off Point for The Caribbean
Beaufort
(NC) is called the "Gateway to the Caribbean." It makes
an excellent jumping off point for your cruise south. It's actually
only a few nautical miles further to travel from Beaufort, NC to
St. Thomas (USVI), than it is to travel from Miami, FL to St. Thomas
(USVI), due to the eastward projection of our coastline. In fact,
it is considered to be one of the best departure points due to location
and logistics. Additionally, the Abacos (Bahamas) are due south
from the Beaufort Inlet. Read

Beaufort

The
waters around Beaufort are world-class fishing grounds. Individual
trips and organized sport fishing tournaments approach the intensity
of a religion here.
Every

some of the best fishing tournaments along the North Carolina
coast. From pier fishing to surfcasting to following the fish
in their sport fisher boats, the anglers who participate in these
local tournaments don't have to tell tall tales - they live them.
Morehead
City's annual Big
Rock Blue Marlin Tournament is the granddaddy-- truly a world-class
tournament with over $1.5 million going out in prize money to
more than 150 participants. In 2007 the big winner walked away

Biodiesel
Fuels and Marine Engines
You, too, may soon be running your boat's engine on fatty acid
methyl ester. On what?
The environmental movement and the high cost of oil are
generating new energy solutions. Biodiesel-- the street name for
what your chemistry professor would call fatty acid methyl ester--
may be workable for you. Whether it came directly from soybeans
or corn or from discarded restaurant cooking oil or grease that
was refined, these alternatives may hold the key to reducing our
dependence on foreign oil.
