This green yacht, (looks like an Oeino design), seems to be much longer. Compare to the Pandora of 540´...? Maybe it is the "Evergreen" successor?
Slow progress of a fast yacht... Browsing through some old files I found this yacht tonight. She was made for a Mexican client back in 1995, but...
For the fans of Bat-boats, here are a couple of close shots on the hull. More Bats than Boats perhaps... :D
OMD 2 Here is another design based on the same hull as with the sloping transom, which old-fashioned me likes much better... :)
The B-24 is a good boat without doubt, but a little on the small side for endurance records. A couple of weeks ago however, there was an attempt...
I am no expert, but sometimes radars interfere with each other and your ship will look like a whole town on my radar! Then I change band/frequency...
St Tropez is always a special place to visit, but my favorite place is further down the coast between Toulon and Bandol, the port of Sanary sur...
Just for piece of mind... taking care of a yacht underway and at the same time feed and overlook the safety of five kids is a little too much I...
I´ll appreciate that! :) If you will have problems in finding this captain/nanny, I might be able to get a charter yacht captain for you since...
Hi Leveller, I once sailed these waters on a Swan 72 with five girls in their twenties and that I would love to do again! But kids, sorry. My...
She is indeed a very nice yacht and the pale blue-greenish colour makes her stand out from all the white yachts. After she visited Stockholm in...
Hmmm, not that this is of any general interest, but Disdale is also said to be suing the owner of Pelorus for about £750.000 in unpaid fees...?
Yes it is a seawater pump flushing the chain and anchor when retrieved. On smaller yachts the same pump is used as a fire pump by switching a valve.
Thanks for posting, I had no idea they were producing these boats in Norway? The design looks familiar though... ;)
On Bertrams, it is sad that they have no models with interior steering today. Especially now when it is so easy to install with the electronic...
It still varies from yacht to yacht. When making the conceptual design, a good designer, one of the handful that exists ;), will make an initial...
As with engine rooms, it varies a lot. Owner, captain and project manager are all involved in selecting equipment and positioning it after their...
In the good old days when I was a captain, we had a steering wheel and no chair at all... ;) This is the Moonen 85.
Good job Carl! I think this wheelhouse collection is a very good idea which I hope will be followed by Galleys, Engine rooms, Master cabins a...
Anyway, the difference in pitching was great and it must also influence the fuel economy. As I understand it, the downsides of SWATH is more...
