Phillipe, I know. I have been in contact with you. I 'm the prospect with the Grand Banks to sell. By the way. could you answer Georges objections to French built Cats? i.e. does the Maryland 37 have a cored hull? What do they use to provide a hard spot for thru hulls? Are all the fitting Metric? Maybe you could send me a much more detailed brochure, items included, options, layup schedule, etc. Dave -------------- Original message from "Philippe Guillemin" <philippe@willmarusa.com>: -------------- > Dave > > We are the importers for Fountaine Pajot in the USA.We do have three > Maryland 37 for sale right now > Two three cabins and one two cabins > Two of them ,we have been maintaining since new and on the last one we > did a major refit when she left the charter fleet > So far we have been happy with the boats . > Happy New Year > Philippe > > > > Best regards > Philippe J Guillemin > WILLMAR USA > > > > Willmar USA Inc. > 850 NE 3rd Street > Suite 207 > Dania Beach > FL 33004 USA > > Tel: 954 713 01 13 > Cell: 954 609 9345 > Fax: 954 252 4304 > > > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: djogerst@bellsouth.net [mailto:djogerst@bellsouth.net] > Sent: Saturday, January 03, 2009 7:47 PM > To: power-catamaran@lists.samurai.com > Subject: [PCW] Maryland 37 > > I'm considering the purchase of a used Maryland 37 (Fountaine Pajot) > either a 2003 0r 2005 vintage.

>What are Georges comments on french built boats >Philippe J Guillemin > WILLMAR USA If the reference is to me, I have posted no comments on French cats that I can recall. --Georgs -- Georgs Kolesnikovs Power Catamaran World http://www.powercatamaranworld.com

Phillipe, George had the following comments on French built Cats. His experience was with a Cantana 44 Sailcat. Electric wires nor tinned, nonstandard electrical boards, metric hardware,poorly installed refrigeration, cored hulls, saltwater intrusion, no builtin hardspots where thru hulls were located, and excessive use of stikaflex were identified. Scary, if true. No?

Dave ON the FP side...we do not have problems with electrics and some of our boats are getting old Hull are cored but under water is not so thru hulls are easy to install Harware is metric indeed but I think that it is the case everywhere ( automobile,aviation) Refrigeration ...no comment Salt water intrusion:It is true that some baots had problem with salt water in the foam or core but it has been solved as technology improve Sikaflex:It is also true that the built technique ( boxes glued to boxes ) left some Caulking visible in place with width of 1 to 2 inches.It is not a structural defect in anyway and I think that all the production baots in Europe or the US are now glued instead of being fiberglass tabbed Have a good day Best regards Philippe J Guillemin WILLMAR USA Willmar USA Inc. 850 NE 3rd Street Suite 207 Dania Beach FL 33004 USA Tel: 954 713 01 13 Cell: 954 609 9345 Fax: 954 252 4304 -----Original Message----- From: djogerst@bellsouth.net [mailto:djogerst@bellsouth.net] Sent: Tuesday, January 06, 2009 5:03 PM To: Power Catamaran List Subject: Re: [PCW] Maryland 37 Phillipe, George had the following comments on French built Cats.
