Roy, There are actually two seats for the helm. Scroll back up and look at the second picture, you can see the seat on the left side. I went...
Bob, I ran a 61 Predator and it can be awkward trying to look through the windshield if running in any kind of seas. When the wx is nice, it's...
Carl, Nice job on the review. As I did tour the yacht at the show, I can vouch for all that was said and then some. Thanks for the credit on...
Don't forget to stop in Coinjock, NC, another neat port. Small town but the folks are great and the prime rib at the Coinjock Marina is to die for.
PSDO, Great shots. Thanks for taking the time to post them. I like that yacht Midlandia. The blue trim accents blend in the blue hull nicely....
One story I read said the damage accured when the captain tried to back off the rocks. Current or no current, while underway and making way, the...
Caught a glimpse in Ft Lauderdale last week of hull #2 of the new 77 Hatteras as she came in to dock. This is one big sportfish, that looks as...
Good points. Graham, I agree that many may not think about that situation. Perhaps they let their guard down or become complacent thinking...
Luis, Were you also looking at a Cabo or Merritt or something? I don't think you can go wrong with a 45 Viking. Easy to handle yourself, good...
A fire at a Dania (FL) boatyard yesterday got me thinking of safety while on the hard. First, here's the story: DANIA BEACH -- A state fire...
No problem. Wasn't sure, that's why I only posted that one shot, more or less testing the waters. The Calixas crew was great letting me see the...
Got on the Calixas at the show for a full tour. Took about 100 pics but was speaking to the rep and told him I wouldn't post into a blog (was...
John, Perkins are good engines, but of course all engine manufacturers have had their shares of ups and downs. Just keep in mind that if you...
Graham, Thanks for taking the time to get those shots. I like the aft enclosure on that third yacht. That's what happens when you get a bad...
Went by one of the post-show gatherings and wanted to try and film one of those searchlight units. Understand that it was very windy and hard to...
Well that really sucks. You guys put in all this work and put up all that dough to get your yachts in the show and looking their best, and some...
That should make it very exciting when you have to pull out. Curious, do they start breaking down the show tonight, forcing you to leave right...
Several models caught my eye (the plastic and wood ones, not the ones of female pursuassion, although I was looking for them - lol). Here are a...
Here are various shots from Saturay's visit to the show. Pic 1 - Lazzara LSX Pic 2 - Looks like a rub rail, low to the water near the chine Pic...
Here's another shot of Ken's yacht at the Palm Beach Boat Show, taken from the crow's nest on board the Calixas 105.
