?? Maybe I need to post that reading comprehension link again. Nobody but you said anything about 24m. Read the posts. The original post...
I don't know what kind of horn you've been going around but the registered tonnage of ships going round the Cape has nothing to do with displacement.
Uh cap, didn't the statement "It would come in just under 200GT but over 150GT. " give you any hint as to the size of the boat he is considering?
Have you read the Marine Personnel Regulations? I think all of your Canadian certification questions will be answered therein. Go to the USCG...
I think you misunderstand what it takes to get a license. It is more than just taking a course and being handed a certificate. Google Transport...
What I meant was that the rules are the same, the skills are essentially the same, but the risks are higher for a small vessel operating in near...

It sounds like these tanks are fore and aft rather than one on each side, is that correct? Generally, when there are two engines the two tanks are...
I just hate to see it being promoted as the best way to handle a 48 footer. What I read as advice was pretty much unequivocal, it was an...
As fuel is metered into the engines it is replaced by fuel that is stored in the tank(s). That process eventually lowers the level of the tank(s)....
