Hey, Andrew—I’d forgotten about the Firefighter Challenges. I’m always in awe of how fast they can yank a ladder off a truck, race across a room...
No Hijacking!! Oh, for Heaven’s sake, K1W1. Have another cup of coffee and lighten up. I didn’t realize I had to write “just joking” when I...
Safety Drills Ken--That's a great idea! I'm just sorry that it's limited to just your crew. I'd be there wedging my chubby body into a survival...
Safety Drills Marmot--I had to laugh when I looked at the document you linked, which was from the Hindustan Marine Institute. Sounds like a...
I’m curious how other captains run safety drills for your crew on different yachts. Do any of you have programs or ideas that seem to work?...
Updated Lace Back in 2005, Bill Gross in Seattle had Tom Fexas update the Midnight Lace by stretching the beam from a skinny 13' out to 16'6",...
Fool's Gold Sadly, it turns out to be a hoax perpetrated by Baia, the yacht builder, to get free ink. Which they certainly did, because the...

Don't worry about cold-molded..it's a great process, esp. when used by Vicem with modern epoxies. In WWII, British Mosquito fighter-bombers were...
Chill out, you guys. You sound like a bunch of cranky old women. The guy asked a question and you jumped all over him. Don't turn this into a...
Good for YachtForums: not one responder made the obvious Polish joke. I, however, don't have that tact and that's what the Sunreef 70 is....
