Jean seeks UFO for fun and foreign travel

Hi UFO 34 fans,
Jean,61, french is my motherlanguage, living in Belgium beside a marina, Klein Willebroek, a very nice place between Antwerp and Brussels. I have nice sailing moments behind, Sigma 33, Rino 36, North sea, Mediteranean, Ionian and Adriatic... Looking for the buy of a boat for a mainly solo, long trip... Stable, solid, fun, sure & safe and limited budget are the main parameters! Ufo 34 is a favorite... Plan to go to south of France and Uk to look at some. Info, advices and suggestions are welcome. I mailed already to some owners from your list, thanks. One question, do somebody knows the "Liberté", UFO 34 last seen, based in Antwerp

Kind regards.

News from Tasmania

Hi UFO 34 owners.

My boat Close Encounters, which I've owned for about 13 years, is moored in Hobart, Tasmania. I used to race her frequently, but for the last 5 years or so I've just used her for cruising. I sail her almost every weekend, and each summer go on cruises for 3-5 weeks around the Tasmanian coast, sometimes with family, sometimes with friends, and sometimes solo. I've covered close to 30,000 miles in her now, and haven't yet found a boat anywhere near my price range to match her for ease-of-use, comfort and toughness when the going gets rough.She was built in Freemantle Western Australia in 1985 and fitted out for the 1986 Melbourne Boat Show. The shipwright did a pretty good job and she's very comfortable below.She's rigged for single-handed sailing except I don't have any furling gear yet, as the old racing sails are still in good condition. She's fitted with a 24HP 3 cylinder Yanmar and a 300 litre fuel tank, although this doesn't get used much as I prefer to sail her as long as there's even a sniff of breeze.I've recently added an electric anchor winch and replaced all the original instruments and the auto-pilot I installed when I bought her. Plans for this summer include a 3 week cruise to the Gippsland Lakes in Victoria, Australia.

New hatch for Dr No

Dr NO said...
Hello friends,It looks like I may have to replace the forehatch on my UFO Dr NO. The old one, original CANPA hatch, is leaking and crazed and I have not yet succeeded in removing the handles. If I should give up or destroy the hatch in my attempts, can anybody suggest a replacement?
Best regardsErikDr NO,
