It seems a lot of thought has already gone into this! And indeed, a good yacht is always the best compromise between a long list of wishes. Some...
Congratulations with your new endeavour, Nilo! It will be interesting to follow this new project from the start. I already like the design, and...
I've got one as the background picture on my desktop ;)
What you see sometimes on large jet-propelled ferries is that they use interceptor-like blades (I believe they are on the skeg) for steering...
From now on, I'll post ONLY in italic :D
If you're not into blabla (like Marmot ;) ), please skip the part in italic. I can answer one which hasn't been done yet: 2. At maximum...
Hi Marmot, I only stated that I "wonder" whether the Mangusta would be the right boat for him, based on the tiny bit of information we have. I...

Generally the river cruise vessels on these rivers have an airdraught of max. 6 metres (measured from waterline to highest point). They use...
Just to update the facts: The 50 knots barrier has been broken several times in the past few days. The highest average speed over 500 m is now...
Got mine too! Great many thanks and keep up the good work!
Yes, that's a bit much for me too. A friend of mine is competing there though. He also uses a foil board for kiteracing (not for speed). Very...
Doesn't look like the standard finish on Huisman's deliveries :D I wonder what's the story behind this boat...
50 knots is much closer than the horizon... Last week Rob Douglas (US) set the new official 500 m record to 49.84 knots while kitesurfing in...
My 2 cts.: - Consider installing a mist eliminator on the air intake. It will more than pay for itself in the long run. - Make sure the intake...
Have a look also at Marasoft (www.marasoft.nl). I installed their demo-version and it looks easy to use with a good graphical interface. No...
