    Uh, not sure of all the details you mentioned.

    The safety screen probably to protect from falling debris .
    Didn’t notice no oars, but after breakfast tomorrow I will take a look and report back.
    Stay tuned,

    Some 1620 NM to go before docking at San Juan P.R.
    Plenty traffic in the Atlantic but none of them close enough to see visually. IMG_9057.png

    1 pair of oars and a a boat hook.
    Oars are probably not for rowing, but rather to push off, or sculling ? IMG_9060.jpeg

    Burgess bought by a private equity firm called Ancient. According to Loren Easton, Ancient’s head of private investing, Burgess is a complementary fit. Its superyacht reach, yet also its connection to travel and wellness trends, made it attractive. “Burgess’ enduring legacy, global reach, and commitment to service align perfectly with Ancient’s mission to invest in category-defining platforms build for the long term,” he said. It is believed that the senor leadership at Burgess will still remain in place as is.

    I always liked the Norhavn 41, here is one presented by a well known YouTube couple.
    (The bubbly blonde seem to have gained some weight, probably a result of the South Florida Lifestyle :D)

    Yeah, a bit over the top: They are doing a presentation on this Nord 41 trawler and right in the middle of it they discovered it is a twin engine boat: Oh My God, look at this, it is a TWIN.:D
    I still like the Nordhavn 41, love it actually.
    Would sell both houses to get on this tub and sail into the sunset but wifey not so much.
    Maybe the bubbly blonde would:cool:

    Aye Capt Ralph, wife is done sailing, she is done scuba diving, she is done sitting on the back of my Harley, etc.
    She is done but she enjoyed what we did, including flying little airplanes across the night skies.:cool:
    I can certainly do the power boat thingy, in fact I had stink potters the last 9 years.
    Would prefer a sail boat with numerous bikini girls running about on the teak decks.
    Dear Santa,:cool:
