Not sure I would look for a Carver to go anywhere outside a marina, but some folks think they are great, others, like this surveyor have...
Of course. But designed, marketed and very successful as a US product. (Made in China like most electronics in my house)
Too bad. What happened to attention to details? The video of the boat tipping over could have been from some 3rd world country in Africa or on the...
What was conclusion, or verdict on the 90 Northern Marine that turned turtle? They had forgotten to add ballast rocks in the bilge, or a...
Or a 90' with no stability: http://www.yachtforums.com/threads/northern-marine-90-yacht-capsizes-upon-launch.22939/
A new sign in the Bank Lobby reads: 'Please note that this Bank is installing new Drive-through ATM machines enabling customers to withdraw cash...
Pay yer dues one way or another. Being a taildragger you had to stay awake for t/o's and landings. Somebody forgot to put out a Notice to...
Aye, true words. Nowadays it is autopilots on cars. The first Tesla sold in Turkey rear-ended another vehicle as the Tesla driver was cock sure...

The tippy one had an Indian Captain who came out looking good as he drove the ship up on a sandbar to prevent it from turning turtle and sinking....

Aye Mate: The 228,000 ton super tanker I made my bread on only did 13 knots, not quite Ocean Speed. Max speed on the 31,500 ton chemical tankers I...
Thx, I guess. Never thought of it that way. I only flew jumbos at 480 knots, on a good day. Not sure how fast you were going in the F-4 fighters?...
Me too, or so I have been told.
Double Moron? :D (Sorry, could not resist.)
Both parties are responsible for avoiding a collision. When the first radio call went un-answered, I would have turned my sailboat 90 degrees off...
Aye Capt. J. Fairly easy to get out of the way on a sailboat if some mega yacht are coming up your arse at 20 knots. (If you have to: let go the...
Probably a Drama-Queen, but I would have been pissed as well, although I would have steered away much earlier instead of waiting to the last...
Yup, I spent years as a Look-Out and helmsman on big ships and heard the horror stories of coming in to port and seeing white or blue paint on the...
