Good day to the forum. Just a note of introduction. I live and sail in Alaska, land of the midnight sun. Actually, I'm down on the S.E. panhandle of the state in Juneau. I live in a mountainous fjord and enjoy some awesome scenery while sailing. Yes Martha, we do sail in Alaska because our summers can be really nice (65-70 degrees, southeast winds to 15, etc). I've sailed since high school on everything from 26' sloops to 50' Beneteau's, 42' Sagas (Bob Perry design), etc.
At present, I own a Catalina 27 with an A4 engine. Got the Cat27 because she's not too big, not too small for intracoastal sailing and yet roomy enough for 3 people. I'm new the the A4 engine and was worried about a gas engine on a sailboat but the ol' girl seems to run fine. I love that it's quieter than a diesel and that parts are pretty easy to get.
Just wanted to say 'Hi' from the great, white north and I'll be posting a question regarding a high idle issue with the A4...
Thanks and fair winds
