Depending on the boat, he may just show up in any busy marina. Shouldn't take long to find someone who like the idea of getting promoted to...
Why "of course"? While there's nothing wrong in setting yourself a goal to get rich, the world is full of remarkably successful people who liked...
As in all human fields, there's the rule, and there are exceptions. Based on first hand experience - and I guess the same goes also for CR - you...
I'd call that an oxymoron, rather than funny! :)
Because the name is all they were interested in, that's why. And while some folks think that there's no such thing as bad publicity, pretty sure...
Personally, I rather avoid buying anything from Chinese controlled companies, till I can. With a bit of luck, I'll be dead by the time they will...
Whaddumean "Italian trick"? The boat you are referring to is a Princess. Unmistakably NOT Italian - we couldn't build anything so fugly even if we...
Modern pleasure boats are designed first and foremost to appeal, and safety/seaworthiness aren't much more than an afterthought. Top heavy boats...
Nope CR, I never owned one, and never will. Also, while it would be too harsh to say I hate them, one hand wouldn't be enough to list the Italian...
Talk about sweeping generalizations. If you would consider replacing a Sanlorenzo with a Bayliner, anyone in his right mind would tell you it's a...
I'm reasonably familiar with Cannes, its surroundings and its awfully crowded boat show, even if I haven't been there lately. I can think of...
Being used to Viking and willing to make the above switch, the Magellano 66 is probably one of the less disappointing choices for you. But...
Define comfort. I would pick any 66 flybridge m/y rather than a Viking 61 for living aboard, but for wave bashing the latter is better and more...
I didn't notice this thread back in its days, otherwise I would have answered no to your question. In fact, I'm extremely skeptical about what the...
I disagree. On a 70 footer used mostly at displacement speed, gyros are as useful as a chocolate teapot. They might be a bit better at anchor, but...
I think it's a bit of stretch to infer from the number of boats on the market for two different models that one is better or worse, if that's what...
All boats are headaches. You don't want to get the largest headache you can afford. Much better to live with the smallest one which is just enough...
I believe response rate is a much more basic parameter, mostly meant to adapt the AP reactivity to sea state. What DM is experiencing, as I...
Agreed, I also wouldn't like that, and I think that there must be a way to correct that behavior. But I'm afraid I can't be specific because I'm...
Liam, buckle up. You should know by now that there's no such thing as a specific sea condition, with a specific boat, that Capt J didn't...
