I reached out to a good friend of mine, who is a broker for a major worldwide house, just after sanctions were announced. He told me that they are...
My educated guess is about 200-300 gallons/day
A fellow captain recently reported that Eclipse was denied bunkers in St. Maarten, and is now cruising west across the Atlantic.
A lot more than I suspect any of these governments are going to be willing to spend. Historically, arrested boats are left with little to no crew...
I'm starting to wonder if this conflict may affect our summer plans to head to the Mediterranean
I have to admit that this just gave a good chuckle to my crew!
Yep. Not very exceptional circumstances, but I've seen it many times in that area.
The anchorage around St. Maarten and St. Barth's hasn't changed much, so I'm not sure there has been much affect on these guys.
If you ever head to The Bahamas, you'll see this lots in the Northwest Providence Channel off Freeport. It's relatively calm, but deep there, so...
I received a screen shot of a WhatsApp message from the captain of Ragnar, which is owned by a Russian. They were being subjected to a vigorous...
To be honest, based on how (I think) you will be towing, you are probably putting too much thought into this. That being said, if I had one chance...
I don't know if you are correct about it absorbing shock. While poly does stretch, it's more a creeping stretch than elastic (like nylon). For...
Make sure to use backing plates on the tow point(s). I prefer to tow with the engine down, as it creates a bit of drag if the tender is surfing...
Inflate with a lower PSI pump, and then top up to desired PSI with hand pump or compressed air. After you're at 2-4psi it won't take much to get...
Nice footage. I miss my days on shallow draft boats. We still go there, but can't quite get in to the good spots with 3.1m draft.
I've always changed oil at manufacturer recommendations, and religiously send oil samples out for lab analysis. And I always run generators for...
Welcome to YachtForums, Tony.
I"m not particularly familiar with the vessel, but for a fiberglass boat it shouldn't be too difficult. I suspect that Catalina has a very thick...
If I read one of your other posts correctly, this boat is in South Florida? If so, Google Smith & Wick North Palm Beach. Charlie is the best Cat...
I have generic numbers for a bit larger boat that I can share with you. Send me your email in a private message and I will send across.
