Cat 3406 or C15, I suppose. That's hands down the best piece of equipment of the whole boat, how come you must disembark it? Anyway, don't take my...
I'm not sure the OP is interested in this somewhat philosophical debate, considering also, as I understand, that he's seeing the circumnavigation...
Dashew's FPBs aren't steel boats: all built in aluminum, hull included. Not that I think it's better than steel or GRP (or steel+alu), just...
Absolutely. But for most folks, it's an itch to scratch, so by definition you can't talk them out of it. Which is fine, as long as they don't mind...
Forget the speed, you'll gain what you'll gain. With that background, you'd better do it regardless.
Six vs. half a dozen springs to mind.
I've only just seen this thread. Having seen Turmoil moored near my home berth a few years ago, I can confirm that she's an impressive vessel...
Don't believe everything you hear from the internet about issues with dissimilar metals, either. My hull is antifouled with CopperCoat, which is...
I don't know how it works in the US, but I did read several British MAIB (Marine Accident Investigation Branch) reports. And the short answer is...
Not to mention on their propellers: more likely a day than a month.
The reason was the good old one that always drives boatbuilders choices, i.e. cost. The 1360hp MAN V12 was the last built upon the archaic OM400...
Commercial aviation is full of pilots who could have never written a book like Highest Duty. But assuming that because of this there was no issue...
+1. I have a funny feeling that by the time that kind of moisture ingress (if any) can become a real problem, it's time to scrap the whole boat...
If like me you've got scuba rechargeable flashlights onboard anyway, that's a zero cost alternative. And it works as well on the tender as on the...
I also don't like the wedges option, and as I said I think lights would work well also pointing diagonally downwards. But having said that, at...
I mostly use them pointed towards the bottom, for two reasons: firstly, most of my preferred anchorages are in no more than 20 feet of depth, and...
I can think of a couple of boats that I've seen with a similar transom. Both from small Italian builders, whose name is irrelevant, but I can see...
Well, that is indeed crappy stuff, I must admit. No big deal to replace the Jabsco chinese stuff with a proper Gianneschi pump and forget about it...
Yeah, I can imagine. The pandemic situation is still rather hit and miss at the moment, with occasional improvements followed by some new...
Aha, 3/4M did sound low for a new boat. Well, "low" relatively speaking, of course... :)
