I'm no mechanic or engineer, so I'll leave all that to you guys who are. What I will add though is that I've run a lot of crew boats, LCMs and...
Good attempt at an insult schmuck. What I am saying is that I seldom run into professional crew on small boats, and I often run into...
The yacht next to me at the moment has the loop end on the dock. It enables him to adjust lines from the deck, and enables him to get away from...
"Professional crew". That's a good example of why there are very few hard and fast rules for running a boat. Instead it's "do what works or...
Fingers crossed for you.
Don't think I've ever seen anyone Med - moor a small boat in this country for any length of time. Doubt I'd be happy as their neighbor given the...
I've had well intentioned marina staff adjust my lines when situations turned adverse while the boat was laid up which they couldn't do if the...

When does the canal close for the season? I suspect the impact will be little more than an early close to set the stage for negotiationsions over...
If a business doesn't support the community they have no right to exist. When the employees go the business should be shut. Let the suffering go...
Ummm, Saving $5.52 million per year justifies an outlay of $90 million? That puts the break even point at 16.3 years not counting the...
I've never seen "non-skid" used on dress varnish. Wood means work on a boat. The whole idea is to look good, and adding grit would defeat that...
Through this whole process has anybody mentioned the obvious? How many manhours for the lock crews would it take to equal the cost of 90 million...
You're down to two good boats. (Both known for blisters BTW), along with solid hulls. There's more to be considered now. You should visit a...
A bunch of people without jobs, but a bigger profit on someone's balance sheet.
