How do you not hear the roar of a Beaver from an open boat ??? I read somewhere the boater was charged with BUI. Couple of weeks ago in Bimini...
That video is ignoring one major element : the COLREGS. Instead he relies on a simplified version from boat US. The COLREGS are clear: seaplanes...
It s about 35’ from my master head to the holding fwd. no issues
spot on I have two of elegance on my 53 including one full size/hone bowl. Bullet proof and as a live aboard they get a lot of use.
Express style boats are great for a week end getaway, nothing more. You live in a cave, no view, galley in the middle of the living area. They re...
There are other videos on line showing different angles, it was a clear cut crossing situation. it would have been very easy for the seaplane...

Fuel delivery by truck is cheaper but not “couple of bucks” cheaper… more like $1. Problem is finding a marina or dock that allows delivery. Most...
As a part time sailor I hate saying this but sailors are known to use the cheapest possible hardware :)
