I agree with NYCAP on that one. There's a reason why here in Holland, a 110 m river cruise vessel for 160 passengers can be built in 6 months,...
Nycap, Do you mean "Yes they taxed imported cars" or do you mean "Yes they became a good carmaker by taxing imported cars"? I think that...
Is the 43 % tax only due on imported boats? If it was a luxury tax imposed on all yachts, it would be justifiable for a country which wants to...
What struck me most was the warning sticker on the switchboard locker door.
In "The Big Boat Bible" there's quite a bit of good basic info about superyachts. Very useful for prospective owners for example....
It looks to me like that boat was here in Scheveningen harbour (Den Haag, Netherlands) a couple of months ago. The letters on the stern were in...
What I don't understand is how they found the space for two quad bikes on a 14-metre sailing yacht with a 5-member crew.
Chesapeake, apparently the guy "let's the dogs out" during the summertime at the beach in the town where I live and work. I haven't seen him...
Hi Ben, Looking at your requirements, you may also want to have a look at Dutch "sloops" (sloepen). These are hugely popular motorboats in...
It's certainly not the first vessel to tip over during the launch. The thing is, the stability may have been calculated and OK for the vessel "in...
I just cannot believe that for a project of this magnitude, they haven't agreed on a fixed penalty per week or month delay. As for interior...
ROFLMAO !! Bruno
Usually, when transporting a new hull over the water (at least here in Holland), it is placed on top of a barge, then towed. Then again, the...
Apparently, it's impossible to embed vimeo video's, so you here's the link: http://vimeo.com/16456854 [IMG] (Photo Nssr.no) Sad event, but what...
Is it just me or are we getting a lot of accident-related news lately? This superyacht hull was apparently being towed from Murmansk to Hamburg...
Exactly, that's why I thought the following to be too much of a simplification (especially as I was comparing different hull shapes): Bruno
That's actually possible at a certain speed (hump speed for the 50' SF). If the stern of the 50' is exactly in the trough (is that correct...
That's exactly my point. The tanker throws a smaller wake not because of its longer WL, but because of its hull shape. I was making the case for...
That's a simplification. Are you claiming that a 60-foot sportfisher throws a smaller wake than a 20-foot sailboat when both are motoring at 8...
The size is up to you to determine based on how much space you'll need, how much you want to invest and whether or not you want to have crew on...
