PDQ OWNERS FORUM

Thanks Eric and Bonnie for telling me about Slow Dance. I tryed to contact Vicki but she wasn't available. I spoke with George instead and he was able to meet us on Sunday morning before we had to leave. We visited Slow Dance along with two other Island Packets. We found that the PDQ was too small f...

I learned that we will have to leave the show earier on Sunday and won't be able to make it to the get together on Sunday after all. We were wondering if it would be possible to meet with one of you guys to see a PDQ before we leave either on Friday or Saturday evening or on Sunday afternnon. If it ...

Merci Mike!

Thanks a lot and we'll see you soon!

Hello!

If there are no objections, John and I will be happy to join your group to do so talking and learn more about the PDQs.

See you all soon.

Thanks Don!! This is good to know.

If you don't mind, Hubby and I could be there. I'll just need to check with him but I am sure he won't mind.

Cheers!!

Seeing and visiting a PDQ would be nice of course but talking and sharing with owners is the main objective.
Hubby and I have a ton of questions since we want to take a huge plunge.
We are not diving into this new life blindly.

If I am just seriously looking at the PDQ 36, in the process of learning how to sell and intend to purchase my catamaran by December 2012, would I be welcomed?

Don't worry Drew, you are definitly not discouraging me. Your tips and advices are not the discouraging type, actually, they are very helpful. I am going to West Marine today and I will talk about the stanchions extentions with someone overthere. I hope I will get some good answers. I'll be gone sai...

Aren't the stanchions 24" high? But I agree that they will be used more often and that reworking them is something I hadn't though of.

Boy, this is becomming more and more complecated Good thing it is all worth it!!

I've been also thinking about changing the stanchions for some that are 30" high. They would be safer for me since I need something to hold on to if I need to go in front of the catamaran while it is under way. Of course, I will have a harness in rough weather but the handrails are at a proper ...

Thanks!! I do not count on any lifelines, I am 5'7" and they raise up just a little above my knee. I find them more dangerous than anything. I was talking about the hand rails on the cabin top, now those are more secure in my opinion. Walking on the cabin top could be a little difficult for me....

I was looking at some pictures of the PDQ 36 and noticed that there was not a lot of space to walk on the deck on each side of the salon but that there were some hand rails on the roof of the saloon to hold on to. I just spoke with the owner of the Antares company who use to work for PDQ and he told...

Mike, I am so jealous!!! I'd love to be sitting with you under the sun and listening to the waves! But then again, I am getting ready for my ASA 103 course this coming weekend; I just hope the wind will be with us. I did compare the Canadian Squadron courses with the ASA ones and found that the ASA ...
