Is it true that, out there, there are some other owners of a Claymore 30?
If so, can I get in touch?

Cleddyf Mon welcome to the forum.

As for your questions. Yes. Not if you have any sense.

the one that I know and I'm sure he'll be along shortly, loses his hat and sailing boots. Is there an explanation? Is it age? Do they all go ga-ga?

There are 2
One goes by the name of Sahona, a more generous, intelligent, helpful chap you will never meet.

The other is me.

Why do you ask?

Can I have first guess? I think that he owns a Claymore 30.

Let's hope that she isn't called 'Claymore' or we'll be even more confused.

Hello.

Somebody'd better connect "C" up to a polygraph.


Sahona 1978, sloop, perkins 4108. Yours is almost bound to be newer and shinier.

I own a Claymore 30. Name: Cleddyf Mon. I am Lisbon based and bought her nearby, about four years ago.
as far as I know there's not another one in Portugal.
She sails beautifully.
Some times I need bits and pieces and knowing some other owners might help in locating spares.
Sharing sailing experiences and getting advice on spares would help me a lot.

Hi and welcome.
I think I remember her being for sale.
Well - I suppose the advice you may need will be more about Biminis than Eberspachers!

There are 2 models of Claymore, where are your genoa winches, on the sides of the wheelhouse or at the back, on top of the aft coachroof?

There was a claymore owners website a while ago, which an American lady, Eileen Wicklund, put together. They did a major restoration job on theirs.

You tend to find that on the Bluemoment website, the Claymore owners tend to have the edge in terms of wit, banter, badinage and - well, intelligence really. Especially Sahona.

Probably back up at the end of next week. We'll have the Grand-daughter with us so this is very weather dependent.
