Panga Management ??
Nomads,
I am not a boater, but am wondering if this is proper landing technique?

Read of a guy coming in on a Panga at
LA Bay, he heard the Panguero say something
but was unsure what he said, after becoming
airborne over the bow when it beached did
he figure he must have said 'hang on',
in San felipe the bottoms of pangas take a real
beating, plenty of fiberglass repair

Wonder how he drives the family station wagon......
Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

With all do respect to you....I am sure you have seen this a few times....but generally everyday...they land softly in the sand bar as far as they
can go, then trucks pull them in.... there at the Malecon. Full throttle into the sand is like hitting a brick wall.

Good thing there weren't any fish aboard to spill. I don't feel too sorry for the "captain".
I had a 22' panga that I often launched and loaded by myself. I ran onto the beach by cutting way down on the speed, thereby saving the fish. My life
was secondary.

For some strange reason...I understand what you mean!

I had built a Mac Shroyer Panga in 1976 operated it for 27 years . It was designed to bring 2,000 Lbs of Fish through the pacific Surf,
It my experience it is the best Boat all around for fishing the Sea of Cortez.

First, no surf to speak of in the Sea.
Second, amazed at your knowledge of your panga being the best. Don't you think that over the course of 35 years some new ideas in panga building have
evolved ?

I am not sure what you mean by "Best'. I had a Live Well Tank and a right side Consoul and used a 40 Hp and finally a 70. I caught Grouper,
Yellowtail, Yellowfin, Sharks, Amberjack, Pelicans, and many other species of Fish. Got caught in some very Rough and Dangerous Waters and the Panga
handled it well,
I did not like the new Pangas that had the Sunshades as they seem to "Rock" more with the added Weight.. The later built 2 feet longer also seem to
have more Rough Bounce.
There are still many of the 22 Footers operating in the Sea of Cortz as well as on the Pacific Side as you well Know,
I ended up getting a 217 Fish built by Wellcraft, just so I could do some distance Fishing while being more comfortable sleeping at night.
To each his Own.

Actually, Skeet is on to something here. Shoyer opened up a panga building company in La Paz and they built almost all of the pangas that were used
in the southern part of Baja for many, many years. He imported a boatbuilder to run the manufacture of the boats, and he found the best available at
the time, which was the Diaz family. Lupe, by far and above, the best, was the one who was able to build a product that was superior to anything else
offered at the time and most of the boats were built with the ARCA name. Lupe ran into labor problems and the guys who were working there thought
that they could get more blood out of the turnip, so the Arca factory was shut down and Lupe ended up moving to Los Barriles and started just using
family members to build boats which became known as Super Pangas. These were a big improvement over the original Arca boats, even though they carried
over a lot of the design features, and they became the standard of the Baja fishing boat. Lupe then went into business with Bobby Van Wormer (East
Cape hotel owners) and the boats became produced in a new modern facility in Los Barilles and were called Van-Diaz "Super-Panga" which is one of the
finest boats built for the Sea of Cortez and at 23 feet is wider than the old boat, and slightly longer.
So yes the design and function of the old Arca Boats grandly reflect on a solid and proven design that has evolved over a period of time to one of
the finest fishing boats available in the Baja.

I have seen the pangeros of Punta Lobos land on the beach in 10-12 foot surf, 20 mph, shoot up the berm, hitting the crest, and go 6 feet without
touching sand, and yes, there has been accidents. Those are tough boats.
