New to Group, boat in Cairns Aus, I'm down south.

[David Pawley]

Hi, Don't know why I didn't seekl out a Passport Group before this. I bought "Sierra" in June 2016, very well presented yacht, however mine is in steel 1990. I recently communicated with Bob Perry he remembers the original owner, he prefers to call mine a "custom Perry 41’er" but very much based on the Passport 40. Image below to prove my credentials.
I hope I am acceptable, as its been pretty lonely solving many problems on my own, of course many of those may not be related to your fit out. Still I would like to know more about your boats and in particular would love to look at some detailed drawings. Oh and my boat has a BMW D50 fitted can anybody share there tribulations with this engine.

Hi David,

Back in 2006 in Portland, Oregon we shared a dock with a steel P-40 built with drawings from Bob Perry.  Could Sierra be the same vessel?  If so it's Interesting that she ended up in Australia.

I don't believe this vessel has ever left Australia, The original owner, who I met was wealthy and wanted the best designer, the best welder and the best joiner to realise his dream. The steel is a Coreten, high strength and corrosion resistant (not true I found some), wherever the steel touches wood, that steel is Stainless 316 that includes all hatch and companionway openings and the bilge well. The welder was German (no doubt highly skilled) so he he apparently insisted on getting a German Engine (proud as well)

Tough as, my companion cut a corner and hit a coral bommy at speed, we bounced off.

 Anyway heres a couple more images.

Is there some drawings some where that I can access?.

Hi Mate,

Ben
