I suspect the concept came from the time when powered windlasses weren't all that common on boats "real people" could afford... Maybe the same...
Our primary for this area is a pivoting SuperMAX; so far, lots of years, always good results. -Chris
We've always had good luck with our current primary anchor, we've also always had good luck with the Fortress, we don't have a second...
I meant I'd prefer two primary (size/weight) anchors, of different design for different holding ground. No lunch hook (seems sort of a waste, if...
Ours came with an odd assortment of Garelick seats with some Springfield hardware. I replaced the Springfield rotating/sliding system last year...
Agree. Even better. Wish we had that. That said, I'd still probably carry the Fortress dismantled in the bag... and use two different style...
Yep, any skinny space long enough for the shank will usually do. We also have wrenches in the bag, shackles, a bit of a chain leader, etc. and...
Our best back-up is a Fortress, sized slightly larger than suggested for our boat, dismantled and stowed in its bag. That style has worked well...
We have a Jatco Trillogy rig on our swim platform, and it works well enough. The manual winch lets me haul our dink with motor, battery, fuel,...
So, far EHG has built only a few Silvertons. From memory, I think two 36Cs, two 42Cs (renamed 43C), a 410 or 430 Sport bridge (can't remember...
We read about it at the time. All I can remember just now is that it was snotty weather even before the guy left the dock, and then it got...
FWIW, I might even consider comparing a decent center console -- with forward and aft seating, a good head, a useful T-top (shade) -- as a...
Might be right about the T. I didn't necessarily mean it "stood for" (some kind of obscure acronym? whatever) multi-weight, but it just seemed to...
OK, I got nuthin'. :) Interesting one part of the label says T Engine Oil SAE 40 (T suggesting multi-grade) and the other part says T1 SAE 40...
Ah. Hadn't noticed it was the same link. In any case, what I was focusing on is that it appears Rotella T (not T1) and any straight weight...
See here http://rotella.shell.com/products/t1.html for Rotella products. T is multi-grade, T1 is straight grade, T5 is synthetic blend, T6 is...
Saw that article in a recent (I think) Power & Motoryacht... -Chris
When I say I'd chose pods, these are the major reasons. Maneuverability is only a nice plus, but that can be solved other ways... so that's...
Geez... But anyway, can you say whether that was only because of over-all size (or lack thereof)? Or instead, maybe that specific layout? Or...
