Prelude Owners

I was told by an ex-owner of a Prelude that the bolt in the swing keel is prone to wear and needs changing every couple of years. Anyone with experience on this? My swing keel is the older version that takes up floor space and is controlled from right inside the hatch in the cabin. When I looked at ...

Hi everyone. Simon contacted the Practical Boat Owner asking for permission for us to publish their article on the Prelude on our website. This was their reply: Dear Simon David Harding has passed your email to me regarding reproducing the article from the February issue on your website. We offer tw...

Simon
If you hear back from PBO you may like to ask them for permission for us to publish their article on our Website in pdf format.
Thanks

Shearwater looks great. Don't know in what state she was in when you bought her but now she does look great!
Happy sailing

Regarding the mast foot if you mean the part on the mast rather than the one on the boat on which the...

Happy new Year to you too Steve

Crossing the Channel sounds like an excitting adventure. I don't have my next year's holidays planned as yet. But do keep me in mind if you'll still need a crew member.

From me too, Happy Christmas to everyone and a blessed new year.

That's a good one! Ha!

Hi everyone I understand that some people have had problems figuring out how to upload photos on the gallery and create their own album. A new page has now been added with detailed instructions. I hope that this will help and that more people will create their albums on the Gallery. The page is here...

Hi Steve Have you got a VHF operator's licence? If not it's easy and cheap to obtain one. I only paid about £28 last spring and I did it at the local adult education centre. Many councils do it. This will answer many of your questions. Also registering a radio is a great idea and you can find inform...

Thanks everyone for your kind words and support after my accident. It's great to have the association!! Faith is now in Greece (see photos in my album). Though I wasn't able to sail her as yet she is now in her new home (see Map of Preludes the world over). We are becoming more international now wit...

Welcome to Prelude-Owners. Schottische is now on the map of Preludes the world over. It would be great if you could post some photos.

Hi Simon
Mine is a fractional rig but not roller reefing and the dimensions of my jib are Luff:17' Leech: 14' and Foot 7'8''. Any help?

Sorry to hear of your disaster. Thank God you both are alright. Did the bushing on the pontoon cause any damage to the boat? I'm sure there'll be good stories to come. Soon we will both have happy tales and lovely pictures to post.
God bless

Woody Allen, who made so many people laugh, was once asked: 'How do you make God laugh?' To this he replied: 'Tell him of your future plans' I had great plans for our holiday, of sailing in the Aegean, teaching my boys to sail, visiting new islands etc. Unfortunately we had a car crash 30 miles into...

I got a cruising chute for my Prelude by placing a WANTED GENOA add on http://www.boatsandoutboards.co.uk .

Hi everyone see crew offer below. Hi Prelude owners I'm looking to gain some experience in the prelude class. I've been sailing on and off over the last 2 or 3 years and am looking to move up from the "Enterprise " to something larger. I like the Proctor designs especially the Prelude and wondered i...

Hi everyone
We got around to upgrading our forum software and I hope you like the new look. Hopefully there should be no more spam now.
There are now the fields of Boat Name and Sail No. so please go to 'User Control Panel' -> 'Profile' and update the info over there.

Thank you everyone!
Very much appreciated.

Hi Everyone I just bought a Nasa Clipper Duet: Log and Depth Sounder. Has anyone mounted this kind of transducers on their Prelude? What have you found to be the ideal position for cutting the hole to fit the log transducer? Apparently the Depth transducer can be mounted in-hull with a strong glue h...

Thanks Caroline
Happy sailing

Hi Caroline and welcome to the Prelude Owners Website. I found that putting up the mast on the Prelude it is extremely easy and a job that does not require professionals. I can put up the mast on my own or with the help of a friend. You either need someone to stand near the transom and hold the mast...
