All good points to raise, I think, wdrzal. Seems to me, as you implied, it would be much more difficult and maybe take up costly space to properly...
Thank you, Loren. This is the type of content I am hoping to discuss and expand upon. I can see it becoming a Ford vs. Chevy debate (I drive a...
We're primarily worried about the hull though, or we'll make the assumption the superstructure will be made of the same material as the hull to...
The recent launch of the 240' Delta is a steel hull with an fiberglass superstructure. Laurel is the name.
A friend of mine is taking an engineering economics class where he is writing a report and doing a cost/beneift and risk analysis of different...
Wow, that's different! To think we just repainted the hull of the 84 blue. Maybe we should have been a little more adventurous...:)
airship... That, my friend, is a very lengthy and informative post.
Well, I seem to recall (now that I see this post again) that I was going to send a couple of pictures your way when I got home. Turns out I've...

Glad I could make it from the other coast to meet up with a couple of ya'll. Always nice to meet new people (well, not always, but in this...
Well, I am still planning on being there Friday afternoon. Hopefully I won't be the only one! Anyone going to try and make it? Carl?
Yeah, sorry about that yachtluver. Sometimes we just get tired of answering questions for certain individuals. ;) You are correct that one of...
Well, you kind of answered your own questions. Other than size, the primary thing that determines the type of anchor is the bottom it will be used...
Same time/place again on Friday?
I agree, it could certainly complicate things! I would suspect when keeping the boat in place, the prop wash would be minimal, just because of the...
That would certainly make sense to me.
I didn't want to imply the technology wasn't there to accomplish this, my point was more that when on my yacht, with the way the technology is...
Correct - although the GPS problem had nothing to do with the boat itself.
No problem. :) While I'm not cruse ship expert, here's what I suspect. The tides certainly affect them as well, but it doesn't play as big of a...
I'd have to say there would need to be some serious reliability improvements going on in technology to justify getting rid of the good ol'...
