sailing yachts
Are there any Sailing Clubs or Groups in Vancouver?
I'm new to vancouver and love to sail. Had a yacht in the BVI and am looking for the best way to connect with sailors, male and female, who own their own yachts or may need help with or when sailing.
I meant Vancouver BC, Canada.
Can you specify Vancouver, BC, Canada, or Vancouver, WA, USA--or perhaps even a different Vancouver?

Oh, okay. I'm not from Vancouver, and I don't sail (I row), but I know that Vancouver Rowing Club has a sailing division: http://www.vancouverrowingclub.ca/EN/yachting/
There is a water sports organization at Jericho Beach, but I think it's mostly small boats (not yachts): http://clublocarno.com/sailing/
There may be something for you on this page http://vancouver-webpages.com/sailBC/ , or you could ask if your local yacht club has reciprocal privileges at a club in Vancouver.

Pasha Classic Yacht
What size engine do I need for my Kingfisher 30 sailing yacht?
The boat's 30ft LWL 25ft with 4000kg displacement. Maximum prop size is 13 in. Hull speed is about 7kts maximum. One engineer says I need to replace the old Watermota 33hp petrol engine with a minimum 28hp diesel. The other avers that a 16hp diesel will be right. Quite a gap in size and price! Cost is of course an issue, but so's safety. Here's the dilemma. Would anyone care to make observations?
While the 16hp is sufficient sustaining 8mph, you must consider reliability and fuel consumption. You would be overworking it and spending more money on diesel and repair in the long run. So far there are really no bad answers here except that I do favour the Yanmars. In my opinion the larger engines stated are an overkill. A balance of reliability, fuel efficiency and cost can be achieved with the 20hp and the 13" dia. prop. I know , you think I'm just another wizz bang with a calculator, but this is Yahoo Answers after all and we must give the best advice we can muster.
