Not heavier. GT is a measure of volume.
I could say the same for this forum. At a guess, I'd say there are very few billionaire members here. Most would be industry professionals, ship...
The original social media is paper pamphlets. Facebook is a far better place for companies to spread their message than small web forums like this...
"Proper beam"? Most of these yachts are excessively beamy, and are incredibly draggy because of it and require much more powerful engines than...
Gives her even more of a cruise ship look.
Really late on the band wagon there. They've been around for a few years now.
I didn't realise that there were people stupid enough to buy into the lie that Big Oil is poor and desperate, and needs billions of dollars from...

I very much doubt that it would be a problem, certainly not compared to MF. After all, rotating the spars is what is the traditional way, and the...

In many respects it is an appearence factor. I do not disapprove of the look of Maltese Falcon, just that I prefer the look of the old clippers....
What would the rig of a modern square-rig look like, if designed for a reduced crew, but NOT a DynaRig? Would it be possible for in-spar sail...
If you would read your own post, the output per cylinder is 7780hp. The facts given for the 14 cylinder version state maximum power is...
While I like the look of the Pandora's, I found the freeboard on both to be huge. Over 40' on the 122m one, and over 52' on the 170m one. The...
