Old Phart, I am not saying it's impossible. If you take their space into account from the beginning, it is very well possible (a retrofit may...
You're both right, I didn't look properly...
I think that the soot you're seeing on Garcon's topsides is from her main engine exhausts. I suppose they utilised the same exhaust system as on...
I do like her a lot from all angles, except when the stern is in the picture. I believe the stern is what you build a yacht for: to be close to...
I think there is not enough "critical mass" in large yachts in that area of the world. How many large yachts (+ 40 m) are there really in the area...
Redman, Did you align them straight fore-aft (parallel to the keel) or did you give them some "toe-in"? The streamlines on your bottom...
I suppose lenghtening the hull would not have been an option, as the boat's tonnage would then go over 500 GT, involving a whole new set of...
Just came across this trailer for a new series. It's something I've thought of before when watching "American Chopper", "Deadliest Catch" and...
Wow, very nice work, both the yacht, and the videos/photos!
Hi all, I'll be at the MYS on Thursday and Friday. Would be great to meet up with the guys from across the pond. And K1W1, try to make it to...
For me, it starts with pencil and (lots of) paper. From there, it goes straight to 3D on computer. Unless there's a specific need, I skip the 2D...
Four waterjets on a 180 m yacht... :eek: Not really my taste to say the least. I think what you see are the holes for the exhausts, and the...
Milow, that is correct. There is a rule in the Large Yacht Code (a derivative of the SOLAS) for clear glass on the bridge. This has mainly to do...
Mountainguy, To answer your question 1) This would be my reading of the events: After the hull was ruptured, entering water gradually reduced...
Nice video! Definitely also gives an appetite to visit Fort Lauderdale, especially by boat. Bruno
That's a very nice boat, Chris! I don't often envy the job of a yacht captain, but now I'm not so sure... PS - the boat in my avatar comes from...
Chris, welcome to Holland. You sure chose the worst period to be here weatherwise. At least you'll get to see "Sinterklaas" (a Christian saint...
I don't know if they do it any differently in the States, but usually the draught numbers are in dm (decimeters). So 4 would mean a draught of 40...
Maybe the things you've seen halfway on the antenna's are meant to prevent the rain from flowing down all the way (creating a wing shape). You...
It could also have to do with "eddy's": vortexes which release at a certain frequency. If this frequency coincides with the eigen-frequency of the...
