That is the disadvantage of having the highest mast in the harbour. I am sure, one ore the other onboard electronic has smoked away. What a waste...
I agree Lars. The EC-125 landed with the bukwarks up and for takeoff they were taken down. As the owner does not own a EC-125, this must be a...
Ron You got me on that feature. It makes Helo OPS definately less dangerous. But a lot of effort in order to keep the flow of lines and the artist...
Ron, do You mean this early design of the foredeck. [ATTACH] As far as I know, this design was altered, when SY "A" went under canvas for the...
I do not think so. Even in the forward part of the foredeck, the slooping bulkwark is 0.3 to 0.5 of a meter, just high enough to catch the...
If I understand correctly, SY "A" flies the Bermuda flag (one of the red ensign comenwealth flags) and is therefore certified under the MCA LYC /...
A good helicopter pilot (not me :)) can land almost anywhere. But this does not mean, this boat has a certified or even a prepared landing spot....
Carl, that is correct. The rigid rotor system was the big invention in the Bölkow rotor head. This was the reason, the Bo-105 was the first...
The biggest advantage of the new 5-blade rotor besides the very nice blade folding system is its much lower vibration level. The older Bölkow...
The 5 bladed rotor head is a dramatic improvement for the H-145 / ACH-145. Less rotor diameter, 150 kg more payload, higher cruising speed, higher...
In the same area and the same storm, a cargo ship also had loss of propulsion, recieved some damage from the storm, gained some dangerous list and...
That is correct. The fire in the floating dock at Aumund has most likely caused a lot of replanning and reorganisation for several projects. Only...
Some more details: Closeup of the stern. Still covered with protective film. I like the wooden look inserts on the stern. Looks almost like the...
Inspected the banks of the river Weser for yacht and Yard activities in the area of Luerssen, Fassmer and Abeking today :). From the yachtspotting...
Areti 2.0, Passenger Yacht Code, SOLAS Rescue and Life boat in the bow. Nice looking, well balanced boat with a much more usefull sun deck than...
There are other reasons than technical problems preventing a yacht from being delivered quickly after technical launch. A bill not paid, an owner...
Found this very unusual layout feature on the new Nobiskrug yacht project Plan B [ATTACH] This unique feature will make her the fastes selling...
And most important be more than carefull with franchise contracts. Suicide in rates. We have a big thing going around in Europe with for example...
I know that carriers are steaming straight into the wind during t/o and landing operation. I was a military jet pilot in the German Navy and later...
I do not think active stabilizers are allowed to be taken in account in order to keep the stability of a ship within IMO / SOLAS limits. They are...
