"La Brisa" and Port Supply Orders

Here is a gorgeous pic of Richard and Tudie's (sp?) new boat, La Brisa, along with some info about the Mason 43.

It is a Mason 43 Hull#1, 1979. Tom Galbraith had the same
model only Hull#5. It is also the same model as the boat
used in the last scene of Romancing The Stone. We were
seduced by the extra room below. We like some things
better on the Cheoy Lee, but over all the Mason will work
better for us. Some of the upgrades that we did on the
Cheoy Lee will have to be done again, such as solar
panels, wind generator, and Monitor wind vane. Here is
some info from the listing sheet:

Accommodations
These semi-custom boats are well-known for beautiful
joinery, and La Brisa is no exception. Lots of
livable, cruisable room, and storage everywhere! The
forward stateroom has an expandable pullman
berth to port and locker/drawer storage below and to
starboard. Aft and to port is the head with shower,
hanging locker to starboard. The salon features a dinette
(converts to a double) to port and settee to
starboard, all freshly reupholstered. The U-shaped galley
is aft and to port. The aft-facing nav station is
to starboard, with a unique bulkhead for protection from
spray and wet foulies. Aft is the master
stateroom with large double berth to port and starboard
single berth/settee.


Port Supply Orders

And for all of our members--Port Supply has its annual spring discount
sale on. Get 5% off your order. You have to get your order to us by
e-mail, fax, carrier pigeon or pony express no later than March 21, 2007 to get in on this deal! As of this writing, I'm not aware of any
exclusions, but in the past, things like electronics and inflatables
haven't been eligible for the discount, so no guarantees! If you send
in a PS order, please let us know if you are willing to wait until we
collect all the orders that want the discount. We need at least a $500
order.
