I’m glad to be able to do it. Given that I do this sort of site for a living it is much easier for me than most people. I hope that you will start posting on the forums and sharing your experience on your boat with us.

Scott,

Excellent job with this, I had thought the old site was gone for good. Here it is reborn! Thanks for all the effort.

Scott,

Will you do me a favor and update the hot link for the Blue Sky website. The current link is very old. It’s the link on the owners registery. The link should be http://www.thevoyageofbluesky.com

I also have all of the original blueprints for Blue Sky. I have them on adobe and will email them to you if you’re interested.

Thanks,

Jim

Hi Scott and all,

Scott, thanks for taking this on, the website has been of tremendous help to me over the years. Hopefully we will do something to our boat that warrants posting it to the site someday, meanwhile I will keep on looking and getting ideas for our boat. Good luck.

Cool!!!!! Glad to see the site up and running again. I was around for the first one and am glad to be here for the second one. I do have the original DE32 book if anyone needs info and I have done lots to our DE32 over the years. One thing I do need is the U-bolt for the cutter sail as mine is soooo rusted, anyone know where I can get one?? Our DE is going south on a truck on 10-21-09, leaving Lake Superior for warmer waters again. Good to be here!!!!
Cheers Scotty

I just got the full data download on the old site from Gerry the web master from the old downeaster website. Talk about a great windfall. I will be sorting the info and putting a bunch of it up over the next week or so. some of the posts I have already put up from the Internet archives will be redone with Gerry’s data as his has pictures etc…

so glad to see a website again. They are such great boats. We have a downeaster 32. My wife and 2 small children are hoping to move aboard and go cruising in 2010. We have created panels for the inside of our boat that are removable. It makes it much easier to deal with leaks on deck or adding new hardware.
