I have no idea if this has any merit, but in climbing around in various engine rooms of larger yachts, I have witnessed a little blue light...
Yachtguymke: That is one busy place. I suppose, too, that one might anchor out in the marina and dinghy in for a brat 'n a brew? Enough depth...
Ken's idea has a lot of merit, aeronautic1. While I have no experience in removing Vik frames, they had to install them somehow. The challenge...
bdude13: In the "for what it's worth" department, a couple of semi-qualified boat drivers, twenty-some odd years back, successfully delivered a...
Aeronautic1: Having experience with the window frames on the Vikings, I know what you're thinking. I don't know if Brand V chose poor paint or...
Now I know something more about Benettis, Ricardo. Thanks!
The fashion boards (outboard) or the stainless steel deck supports, Ricardo? Hey, no worries, my English isn't so hot either.:)
Gomaarten: You are absolutely right. Post #5 is not Gentry Eagle. I know I've seen that #5 boat somewhere, though. Probably over at the...
Carl, help us out here. I'm not sure what ricardo24 means by "trowels", but he has recognized a signature Benetti styling point. I'd be...
ricardo24: C'mon Ricardo, how many Benettis have red barking dog sculptures on deck?! Sheesh.:rolleyes:
Dhowdodger: If I'm not mistaken, from the galvanic series, copper is cathodic to aluminum in which case the hull would see wasteage due to a...
Indeed a great thread. Carl has, in #55, my vote for the ugliest boat so far. It is a little known fact that the Hickman Sea Sled ( a much...
Regarding Carl's post #27, I had to chuckle. Ok. It's 1987 and it's an Italian motoryacht. Do you know where your crew is? Going down the...
I almost embarrassed myself by thinking she was a Trumpy!:p
Ref.: post #20, apologies to Dhowdodger for missing his earlier mention of leecloths. Along with my half-heimers, my eyeballs are failing me....
If the statute of limitations hasn't yet run out, let me take a swing at Carl's boat in post#5. Looks an awful lot like the boat Tom Gentry...
Kevin, you're right. What was I thinking? Let's leave the sea hags alone: the one on Redman's dock and the one who appeared in really old Popeye...
Yachtguymke: The owners & crew of "Blue Moon" have one thing in their favor, though-- They don't have Redman's (Alloyed2sea-- check out his...
Why not call Hatteras in New Bern?
Dhowdodger: Sorry for the flippant answer re.:blithely hopping over the side... I had no idea of the sort of soup that your boat floats in....
