For at least the thirteen years that I was there, Bertram Yacht had a two-week plant shutdown in August during which time tooling was refurbished,...
I thought 'close' only counted in horseshoes and hand grenades (?)
According to a piece a day or three ago in the WSJ, there is a company whose business model consists of spraying some kind of juice into a jet...
You sound like a knowledgeable oil guy. With future oil currently higher than spot, i.e., in contango, and the reverse of which is backwardation,...
Pascal, I think you hit the nail on the head. One can, apparently, list a boat on YW (in this case, in 11/04), deactivate it and then later...

Nice job, Lionel. Thanks for all the pics & commentary. Hatteras is apparently 'keeping up with the Jones's', alright. As a champion...
I'm with Ken Bracewell on this vendor issue; it would be a useful tool. I'm not too worried about slandering anyone since I have been fortunate...
You guys are really good. So....anyone know if Mr. P bought a replacement for the Fead? Hey, it's OK...I've had a beer with the guy.
If you'd like, I have a friend at the local Cat distributor--Pantropic Power--in Miami who could answer this question concisely, but I'm assuming...
