Miami Boat Show Update

After much deliberation, we've decided to only display the PDQ 34' at the Miami Boat Show. Unfortunately, we realize that will make only 50% of you happy. The good news is that the PDQ 41' can be seen at anytime in Stuart, Florida only a short distance north of Miami. We apolgize for any inconvenience. Please contact us if you'd like to make arrangements to visit Stuart and see first-hand why the PDQ 41 is such a hit! For everyone else, we look forward to seeing you in Miami, February 12-16th.

How does the PDQ handle in rough seas?
Just ask Henry Clews....

Every year Henry Clews and Nancy Chandler take their PDQ 34, Sno' Dog from New Hampshire to Florida. This year was rougher than usual. 9' seas and 35 knot winds were exciting, but Sno' Dog proved once again that she could handle the rough stuff! "We've never had a moment's doubt about her capabilities.  And, as I said at the end of this fall's log, it's hard to imagine a better boat for the ICW trip."

Henry and Nancy have logged more than 9,800 nautical miles under their keel. For anyone considering a PDQ in their future, a visit to the Sno' Dog log is highly recommended. Thanks to Henry's meticulous record keeping, data on almost every aspect of the boat can be viewed. Click here to visit the Sno' Dog Log.

New England Rendezvous brings owners together.

July 25-27, following PDQU, PDQ owners gathered on Block Island, RI for a Rhumb Line Yacht Sales organized rendezvous. Owners came from all over the east coast to join in the festivities. Boats from as far south as Florida arrived in Great Salt Pond for this fun event. Spending time together, owners were able to share ideas, compare cruising logs and win some great prizes. Contratulations to Henry Clews and Nancy Chandler for winning the Grand Prize (donated by Pearson Composites) of a Garmin Nuvi...see Henry for the nearest Starbucks while you're cruising! We are currently scheduling another owners gathering for Febuary 2009 in the Miami area.

PDQU - Class of 2008 Graduates!

Keeping in PDQ tradition, the 5th annual PDQ University was held for new and prospective owners. This was, noteably, the 1st PDQU held at it's new location in Rhode Island. Following the proven format of years past, a mix of classroom time and hands-on boat time was a winning combination that made the men and women feel confident and ready to cruise. With the production schedule already filling up for Spring 2009 deliveries, don't miss out on having your new boat in time for PDQU 2009! Next year, we will be following PDQU with a "Downeaster" flotilla taking owners north to Maine and on to Nova Scotia. Don't miss the adventure!

The Future of Boating: The PDQ 41

"Rick became enamored with power cats for their stability, economy, and spaciousness, and the shallow draft that offers the opportunity to cruise the Bahamas up close and personal."

     - Bill Palatore, Passagemaker Magazine

PassageMaker magazine is not the first to notice the leading-edge technology embodied in the design of the PDQ 41. Eleven owners can attest that the 41' is the future of boating. Based on the overwhelming success of the PDQ 34', the market was crying out for a larger sibling. Read how Rick and Sharon Richardson went from traditional trawler to a "high tech boogie machine".
