Absolutely. I'm also impressed by the choice of giving priority to accessiblity vs. a bit more sound insulation of the genset. Or was the box off...
Think what you like, but you are judging by the video, while I was actually onboard when I made it. And we were drifting in an old residual swell...
According to one of the articles just linked, their recently appointed new President had the nerve te declare that... “Volvo Penta does foresee...
Point taken. Still, you've yet to read from myself a post where I label a boat I've never seen - let alone sea trialed - "a mess".
C'mon, you know even better than myself two things: Firstly, sea state always appears in video smoother than it is. Secondly, adrift boats tend to...
I see your point, and don't disagree - also because I haven't seen Rebeca in flesh - though a few folks I spoke with who did, were stunned. Still,...
Well, the video I previously linked was at zero speed, with the engines off and the boat drifting into a long and gentle swell. And I witnessed...
Yup, as I think you know, that's something I'm also well aware by now, and never argued with that. I would just be surprised if at their HQs they...
In this form, your point is one I can only agree with - wholeheartedly. That's not what transpired from the title, though.
No, they are not. Sleipner's fins are patented, and of course they claim that they are more effective. But I've yet to see one single independent...
I'm not up to speed with regard to prices, but for retrofitting, I would rather go for electrical fins, which are drastically simpler and as...
Well said, NYCAP. You know, actually I can live with the comments from both Pascal and CJ about side boarding being less considered by European...
I can see why, because that's one of their finest boats, congratulations! Besides, the forum majority doesn't seem to really matter a lot,...
Nope, I just give the benefit of the doubt to anyone who can spend millions on a boat that he might have earned that money in some other way than...
Well, get ready to be flamed then, for TWO major reasons: Firstly, as a non-professional, you obviously know nothing. Secondly, daring to suggest...
Pascal, if there is a prize for the sweeping generalization of the year, you're off to a great start. You declare that you've always been ranting...
If you are referring to the AB, that's in an entirely different league. Waterjets open a very interesting range of possibilities by mean of engine...
My previous comment wasn't referred to vibrations - or any other defects, for that matter. It's the very expensive IPS maintenance, both scheduled...
Yup, sounds logical. I'd be curious to hear if someone much further South is aware of factory installed heaters on MAN engines. I suppose it...
I know absolutely nothing of that boat, but IPS is one of those things that I call "OMDB" (over my dead body). So, you can guess how much I'd love...
