Ship floor plans suggest the stairwell exists leading up to that doghouse enclosure. Starboard side of the mast is a companionway leading to...
No apology required. I was merely summarizing where I thought the subject stood. I tend to take advantage of these mishaps to learn and...
Clearly we don’t have enough information to cast blame to the captain at this point. Questions critical rest between occurrences between midnight...
It’s a forum for conversation, sharing, and even education. The tough-person act should be checked at the door.
You'd never go to bed at night and leave that door open. Stories told that the "entire crew" was working to midnight, and then watch was posted...
I still have a couple of burning questions. While many are focusing on the aft cockpit and the sliding doors that open at heel, the forward...
Are you suggesting that you require 180 HP per engine to reach 20 knots on your vessel? Or perhaps you need 360 HP from each side for an overall...
Yes, I don't understand the enormous penalty of 75 meters coupled with a full loss of momentum. As easy as it is to move the markers, why don't...
On one hand I can watch and enjoy this series. On the other hand I'd prefer to see a cup battle amongst large J Class yachts.
Correct. It's an AC to DC to AC conversion. It also boosts and isolates. The invasion likely came by sea... Those caps carry big loads....
Twin 1000's won't even do that at 1200 RPM. Now, shut down one engine....
Odd. Test data Ive seen suggest the near 1:1 ratio is at hull speed, not at 20 knots. At 20 knots the report shows around .4:1. The new GB85 is...
Your vessel doesn't perform like this?
At the end of the day you can find summary videos on u tube.
Apparently the large sloop in the other storm video was Encore, a 144’.
my thinking is water pressure from the cap stuffing. That area is fairly close to the rails.
That's in harmony with my suspicion of that forward recessed living area. Water tight door opened by crew exiting. Glass surround shattering....
Yes, Island hopping, but not requiring fuel at every other island to keep going. And when hopping, likely you're not sprinting to the next stop....
Can't say that I disagree with Giovanni's basic perspective here. Watching Cup trials in Barcelona showed really nasty weather in the region.
That's a good summary. I'd add that "no one" is honestly promoting a long range vessel based upon 20 knot performance. Long range discussions...
