Heiner,
I questioned the eBay poster and he answered it was in fact a 1976 F32... same as yours why they look alike.
Do you want a pair

I saw that one yesterday. The almost salvage, but now restorable one. Spooky.

I'd take some of that blue canvas though.

NO THANKS

- one is enough !

The seller already changed almost of his ad. But it doesn't look professional. Just a part of business

Hello Seeadler - nice to have another german guy here

If I count it right, we have 7 german-based members here.
Hope to see some pictures of your vessel in advance .

Very nice Heiner!! is your rear hatch door on the deck for storage?

Thats how you get to the Rudders and bilge pump

yea I know. I have one too, but was wandering if the bigger boats have storage compartments down there

From wikipedia...

A lazarette (also spelled lazaret) is a special area on a boat. It is often an area near or aft of the cockpit. The word is similar to and probably derived from Lazaretto.

A lazarette is usually a storage locker used for gear or equipment a sailor or boatswain would use around the decks on a sailing vessel. It is typically found below the weather deck in the stern of the vessel and is accessed through a hatch if accessed from the main deck or a doorway if accessed from below decks. The equipment usually stored in a lazarette would be spare lines, sails, sail repair, line and cable splicing repair equipment, fenders, bosun chair, spare blocks, tools etc.

In modern shipbuilding and for powerboats of most sizes, the lazarette is the location of the steering gear equipment for the vessel. This area is particularly vulnerable to flooding and damage, as the ability to steer during heavy weather is of the utmost importance to vessel safety. The lazarette also represents a vulnerability in that the large hull penetrations required for rudders and shafts for propulsion through the vessels hull generally reside there

now that my brain hurts, I suppose I must change my plan to build a sealed battery box in this location, with false floor so I could still access the rudder. Seemed like a good location for it at first thought

Eyes are for me!! thanks for the input David, changed my outlook about a storage area

DAVIDLOFLAND · Post by **DAVIDLOFLAND** » Fri Jun 08, 2012 7:53 pm

Not sure how other F-32 lazerettes are configured, but I have storage on top of the freshwater tank. Good place for stuff like extra lines, and cleaning supplies, all in buckets or plastic crates, so easy to remove and replace. I string a heavy bungee between the two vertical floor supports, to keep stuff from sliding aft, and ending up in the bilge.

should I steer clear of building a sealed drop box for 2 batteries and battery switch in this location? Sorry I hijacked this Heiner. Guess I should make a post.

IMO, yes. There is a lot of stuff that might need quick acess like the bilge pump and steering gear. Besides I don't think you want to put that much weight aft, if I remember correctly, you were talking about some pretty big batteries.
