YachtForums Your point is well made. Here's the "But" :D 1) I think that we'll have a solid answer one way or the other within 5 hours as to...
AMG I suppose that you are correct. Perhaps I've spent too much time in areas where bombs are not noticed that much anymore. :( I've been...
I'm surprised that there isn't more coverage of this. BBC has dropped the ball. I checked Ladbrokes and the odds aren't even posted. :(
Looks like they'll be seeing some waves in the 6 ft range. http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=64045
Even with the technology it's still one heck of a challenge just to complete it in one piece.
Hi Mark Spike is just as if not more important than surge. What I've found is that the common power bar type units aren't worth a pinch of coon...
Hi Mark There are a lot of these questions that it's difficult to get hard data on. I would hope that a designer/builder would take proper...
I was just speculating that a good spike/surge supression device might help the longevity of the circuit boards. The safest way is to kill the...
I'm surprised that the ECU does not have surge/spike protection/ voltage regulation in front of it as a matter of course. What voltage is the...
When I saw this on the news I felt for the Captain of the ferry. Not being able to do a freakin thing about it. The ferry just came out of the...
Ouch! How would you feel? "B.C. ferry that hit marina 'just kept coming'" http://www.cbc.ca/story/canada/national/2005/06/30/ferry-050630.html
Anchor This is probably a patently obvious point to the more experienced here. I keep going back to Anemone and then noticed something about...
Jazz_84 AMG's link is exactly what I was referring to. Even if your father is in very good shape a device like that would be safer and help to...
There are probably systems designed so that a mast may be placed single handed although I've never seen one. I've placed the aluminium mast by...
Congratulations. It's always a good feeling to see what was a concept on paper become reality. I think many of us would very much enjoy...
Beautful, yes. I can see myself getting on or off the one on the right. The one to the left makes me a bit nervous. Perhaps I'm just not used to...
The fully enclosed Landaulette 33, depending upon the materials used would also offer additional security. 11mm Lexan is a useful material but I...
AMG I just want to express my appreciation for your willingness to share information about design. Also your patience as I attempt to define for...
I should clarify my enthusiasm for Skat. Skat's lines are defined, perhaps too hard edged for some, but I like the sense of precision and purpose....
Thank you. Easy on the eye is a part of the equation. I've been on one or two yachts where I've had to try and hide an involuntary shudder as I...
