Sharing interests associated with: Vancouver Power and Sail Squadron
sg.cmac is interested in sharing Nautical charts for marine navigation (BC Coast)
Willing to share without warranty as to their being updated although most are quite new.
Some years we go north and don't need our southern charts and vice versa. So the charts that might be available for a portion anyway of a summer are those south of Nanaimo to the US border or those from Nanaimo north to Port Hardy including all of Desolation Sound, Discovery Passage, Johnstone Strait, and Queen Charlotte Sound.
We would be interested in swapping temporarily some years for charts of the West Coast of Vancouver Island, Queen Charlotte Islands, and North Coast.
Charts onhand include: 3310-1 to 3310-3 (Gulf Island Strip Chart - missing #4); 3311-1 (Port Moody to Howe Sound); 3311-5 (Grief Point to Desolation Sound); 3312 Jervis Inlet and Desolation Sound (29 pages of charts in a booklet); 3441 (Haro Strait, Boundary Pass and Satellite Channel). For the remainder of the charts listed, see the Canadian Hydrographic Service guide to paper charts of the Pacific Coast at http://www.charts.gc.ca. Other charts in our library are: 3442; 3443; 3459; 3462; 3462; 3473; 3475; 3476; 3478, 3481; 3491; 3493; 3494; 3495; 3515 (Knight Inlet); 3527 (Baynes Sound); 3534 (Plans Howe Sound); 3535 (Plans Malaspina Strait); 3539 (Discovery Passage); 3543 (Cordero Channel); 3544 (Johnstone Strait - Race Passage and Current Passage); 3545 (Johnstone Strait - Port Neville to Robson Bight); 3547 (Queen Charlotte Strait - Eastern Portion); 3548 (Queen Charlotte Strait - Central Portion); 3555 (Plans in Redonda Islands, Loughborough Inlet and Vicinity); 3563 (Sutil Channel to Stuart Island).

Michael is interested in sharing Wild Coast 3 (Book)
Have and willing to share for free after July, 2011 (but do express your interest now), one of John Kimantas' wonderful books giving an in-the-kayak view of a part of the coast of British Columbia, The Wild West Coast 3 covers B.C. South Coast and the East Coast of Vancouver Island. 536 pages covering from the Gulf Islands through the Sunshine Coast, Desolation Sound, Discovery Passage, and Johnstone Strait, to the Broughton Archipelago and Queen Charlotte Sound. The kayaker at Ecomarine on Granville Island who sold the book to me said John Kimantas has written the best books about the coast from a paddlers' perspective. So far, even using the book as a planning tool for a sailboat cruise and not for kayaking, it does seem that the claim is a fair one.
Michael is interested in sharing Chapman: Piloting & Seamanship (Book)
I have this book and am willing to lend it to anyone interested in marine navigation who is a member of the Vancouver Power and Sail Squadron.
sg.cmac is interested in sharing Boat Trailer (20') for very occasional use
Wanted for use only twice a year, for a short haul between marina and home, when putting into or taking the sailboat out of winter storage. I would be happy to make a financial contribution in lieu of rent or a work contribution (such as greasing the axles).
The trailer photo shown is of a Highliner trailer and is for representative purposes only. The boat to be carried is a 20' Vivacity with double bilge keels, so a trailer with high side support rails or fore and aft support rails would be ideal. For details of the boat to be transported, please see http://www.sharablethings.com/interests/29.
sg.cmac is interested in sharing small coastal cruising sailboat
HAVE AND WANT TO SHARE: Truly Fair, a Vivacity, a 20-foot, 1967/1969, English-built, double-keeled, fiberglass sloop, with yellow topsides, blue accent lines, Seattle gray deck, and white sails. We - the two families who own her -- share other boats and cannot use her as much as we would like but are fond of her and do not want to sell her entirely. We would like one other sharing party to purchase a one-third interest or buy one of our half-interests or two other sharing parties each to buy a one-quarter interest in her.
Truly Fair would be kept in the water at the Burrard Bridge Civic Marina in Vancouver during the summer months (say June-September) and stored on land at the marina or in someone's back yard or at her mooring in Silva Bay on Gabriola Island in the winter.
Theoretically, Truly Fair sleeps four, but two adults and two children would be her very full sleeping complement. She can carry more than four day sailors. She draws 28" and can be beached on her twin bilge keels.
In the summer of 2009, Truly Fair had her bottom painted. She is in working condition but needs deck and topsides painting, new interior cushions, new standing rigging, and a replacement port rubrail. She has a brand-new main sail, new battery, 6 hp outboard engine in good condition, and a lovely natural wood tiller and rudder.
We value Truly Fair at $3,600 and would be willing to sell a one-half interest in her for $1,800; a one-third share in her for $1,200; or two quarter shares in her for $900 each. Total annual ownership costs (moorage, storage, insurance, repairs, replacements, and maintenance), exclusive of depreciation, are approximately $3,000, so, annually, approximately $750 for a quarter share partner, $1,000 for a one-third sharing partner, and $1,500 for a one-half sharing partner.There would be a requirement to do your share of annual personal work, such as scrubbing and painting and making repairs. Therefore, for an initial investment of $900 to $1,800, an annual cost of $750 to $1,500, and some elbow grease you can own part of a small coastal cruiser that you will be able to use probably as much as you have time for.

Michael is interested in sharing Boat maintenance
Our Catalina 34 sailboat, moored on Granville Island in Vancouver, and its small Universal M35B (marinized Kubota) diesel engine get lots of TLC but can always do with more. This is a strictly voluntary, unpaid opportunity to share in the maintenance of a coastal cruising sailboat and its diesel engine as much or as little as you wish. Proposed number of volunteers: 1-2. Cost: nil. Qualifications: ideally you would know something about rigging or sails or the maintenance of fiberglass boats or diesel engines but none of this is necessary.
Michael is interested in sharing Old speedboat
17' speedboat with 120 hp Evinrude outboard and trailer. Two sharing parties now. We would like one or two more to join us, as we don't use the boat enough. One-third interest for $2,500; one-quarter interests for $1,8750 each. Total usual annual cost of ownership is usually about $1,500. The boat currently needs a new canvas top. We keep the boat on a trailer year-round, except when in use. Ideally, one of the new boat sharing partners would have a covered secure parking space in Vancouver where the boat could be stored.
