Cleaning up a job site is also dead simple, and something people should do with no problem, but plenty of lazy people don't. You've got a good...
The conversion from engine HP to fuel per hour is simple math. A really good marine diesel engine has an efficiency of around 60%. A gallon of...
If you put it out you have to wash it when you bring it back, and you've usually got to coordinate two or more people to bring it in link by link....
"From the finest wood paneling to the tasteful choice of furniture, the high quality materials used throughout makes this an engineering...
^^^ A good one that completely slipped my mind!
I was, on reflection, being really generous suggesting that a 60' turbine could get 300 HP even at peak windspeed. Really looking around and using...
I suspect quite strongly that you are talking about a wind turbine that is under or around a 4' diameter, rather than the 60'+ diameter wind...
To state things differently, the figures quoted in the resource are nowhere near accurate for a monohull that is sporting a wind turbine to...
Well building the dynarig of the MF would be expensive, but a smaller dynarig could be managed. Two masts with two or three panels each, built...
The problem with a large wind turbine on a boat is that the center of effort from the wind is really high, up at the hub of the turbine. A...
Even the vikings didn't cross in longboats! The longboat was designed to get a lot of men somewhere very quickly, it was not designed to go on...
People do circumnavigate in large vessels (110' is probably larger than what most do it it) but I think the key is that they do it differently. If...
So I'm a little curious; what your current living situation is that has more motors, pumps, valves, networks, and systems than a 110 foot boat? Do...
Those seem reasonable, so given the source they are probably correct. I'm not quite sure what you are planning through. There are a lot of things...
Until he lost his cat it was probably a substantial cost savings.
I wouldn't imagine a great tome on the subject, but I think you could easily fill a book. There are a great many ways that you can anchor poorly,...
I'd say the answer to your question is in the quoted statement. This is a trend that has been progressing for a while, IPS was introduced a decade...
I suspect that that post is very important to the threads original intent. For most yachts dynamic positioning is probably more about holding...
Oh I'm sure that will buff right out. Edit: But I think this thread might be in the wrong subforum. "Yachtclub" might be more the place for it.
I think the 228' Sherakhan has some relatively legible GA's available.
