My experience, best outcome is heat pump setup for most conditions. Especially for a glass boat. I'm relying on a twin 12kw heat strip setup in...
Agreed. Im running 2 x 5, but mostly just one. I only energize #2 if the need is recognized. The chiller tonnage can be outmatched by the air...
I'm 68 feet, and I have 6 air handlers on the main deck. Two in the aft salon, two in main salon, one in the galley, and one in the wheel house....
My ER setup...
I went with Technicold units, well set up with plenty of 316 stainless. Most all systems rely on MicroAir controls.
Don't over-equip. Im a 68 foot Burger, but wide body. I have as much interior SF as you do. I spend summers in NE and winters in SE. At 10 ton...
I went straight cool with the chillers to avoid reversing valve failures. Mistake given my stretches of time up north each year. I installed two...
yeah, chillers, no brainer. You can live with 2 x 60k BTU. That's what I have on 68 feet of aluminum, and it's effortless with around 12 tons of...
I have a hunch those smaller structures were never designed to protect the bridge. I believe they were former bases for the high voltage lines...
I see the fenders you're referring to. I believe their purpose is to protect this type of impact from a ship that is only mildly straying. I...
If that was her track, how was she trying to make a hard starboard turn throughout the two blackouts. There are a few foundational islands for...
Quite likely correct, and it certainly got away from him in a hurry.
...or even a protocol of escort once set free with the pilot. She also seemed to be steaming pretty darn fast...
I went to 3 x 6-inch inline fans 120v, 395 CFM. I use one on each side to pull in fresh air. I use one port side for forced discharge. I find...
Sort of rings that there is a dedicated bank here that is weak and perhaps has its own main breaker that has tripped. I know I have a primary...
I think I might have Tourettes...
I had a theory recently about the use of retracting thrusters for slow speed maneuvering on a large sailing vessel equipped with a through-keel...
A guy I know rebuilt one of these, and in doing so began a 24v DC panel early to begin receiving modern gear, shifting 12v reliance to 24 wherever...
You know much more than I do on the subject, but glad to see that my database is accurate to this degree.
Yes, and there's a part of me that would like to swap these out for modern sixes for weight and economy. I've got a bit of a tick about the...
