[Public-List] Re powering my A30

[via Public-List]

I try to keep heavy items out of the lazarette because it is unsupported weight because it is in the overhange. Weight in the lazerette causes the stern to squat and has a negative impact on sailing performance. This is why you never, or should never, see a crew member standing on the aft deck or sitting on the stern sail when racing.

Dear all

I am in the process of refurbishing my A30. A job that requires everything from bulkheads to sails. Recently I have been looking at replacing the tired Atomic four. A secondhand Yanmar or a brand new Beta. I'm either looking at something already old or paying out a lot of money.

One idea that has got me interested is installing an outboard in the lazetette. Does anybody have experience of this? I don't think that I need a large inboard and for the cost of the Beta I can pretty much buy a new outboard, replace the worn sails & install a roller furling jib.

What do you think? Is there anybody who has done this conversion that could comment?

Greg
