My post wasn't meant to support the logic of the regulations - I did say that emissions of these boats are obviously irrelevant in the global...
R U sure? In Europe, AFAIK the 550 comes with MANs i6/800hp, and it's a 31+ kts wot/25 kts cruise boat. Nothing against the Cummins (which in fact...
The 24m LLL limit above which a proper license becomes mandatory is pretty much a (UK-driven) European thing, I believe. That's the reason why all...
I cruised the Croatian islands for 10 years, including (obviously) the Kornati archipelago, but I would struggle to suggest a type of boat better...
Amen to that.
In each of the respects you are interested in, I would rank the Ferretti 1st, the S/skr 2nd, and the Azi 3rd.

2000 Series MTUs are actually rated for 2450 rpm.
Agreed, but to some extent the use of better/different parts depends also on the builders' choices. The pic below shows one installation combining...
I think it's actually fair to say that Americans are delivering the cheap products that the American market is demanding. They just happen to...
But that's precisely my point: in this day and age, would anyone in his right mind rely on the compass for reaching Hawaii from Vancouver? Even...
I wouldn't worry about China. More than likely, they already hacked the system long ago, and are enjoying it more than anyone else... :D
An even simpler solution pops to my mind - why not get rid of the compass error calculation altogether? I'd be curious to hear if anyone has ever...
This other video shows also the moment when she began her last trip (of more than one and a half nautical mile!) to the seabed... :( [MEDIA]
With a premise like that, I feel obliged to remain an idiot myself, to avoid disappointing anybody!
