Shame you didn't get out onto Moreton Bay, immediately outside Brisbane. That's my backyard every weekend!
So out of curiosity, where in Australia did you go boating? I lived in Atlanta GA and Miami FL for 3 years, and I do agree with your point on...
Happened here locally. Fish on, backing up into a big swell, deckie goes overboard. Literally went between the props of a 51' boat and popped...
Yes, I had a 13' catamaran RIB. Absolute piece of rubbish. When you turned, it leant/lurched outboard which was seriously disconcerting....
Whistler is an iconic boat. Would loved to have done that run. And Far ... kept the engine, upgraded the rest. :D
Far, Don't want to argumentative, but I can assure you that an M3 or AMG isn't wildly comparative with an Fcar. Had an AMG E63, regretted it....
All true. In addition, having a huge flat windscreen out the front allows a huge amount of solar radiation into the saloon. We had that...
Well from recent personal experience, I can say that their service is first rate.
But I am looking forward to seeing this one splashed by Hatteras ...
If it flies, f*ks or floats ... rent it. :D
Swimming to a dinghy ... at night ... with no moon ... in Arnhem Land ... Seems the Croc just wanted a French Kiss ... :D
Good news on the fuel issue. When did you escape Tangas? According to the Marina Manager at RQ this morning 6:00am it was 60 knots at Manly...
Comparing Riv and Hatt? ... Well ... they both make white boats ... That's about it, I think. :rolleyes: Actually there was a Viking 55...
Yah. Got to run back into the Seaway twice on the weekend with 20-25kt following seas and a ripping tide heading out. Big standing waves....
C18 is louder than MAN V10, no question. Having said that, when we run, I have 4 sided clears and a floor hatch which was a custom modification...
Australian PWB Grade L short link chain. Yes the conditions on day 1 were on the nose and I can attest to her ride. We spend all of the...
No, sorry I wasn't clear. It is a custom rigid hull inflatable with hypalon tubes, but it has an aluminium hull not a fiberglass one. It's...
Yah I have 4 sided clears. Amazing. Everyone should have them. Yes, they eliminate station wagon effect, but much more. It was tipping...
3.75 degrees ... which I was really nervous about given our seas. It turned out to be absolutely fine. She's getting the anchor changed today...
The Eagle Has Landed ... :D Again, thanks to the YachtForum. You were all a great help. Nigel
