Me too, 2 in blue please.

Khalidia Hi Guys, I did a twin charter with the 110' Gitana (my first one) and Khalidia in 85'86 New Years around the USVI and San Juan....
These Polar explorer guys are really tough stuff. But even they get the scares too. Just today, Pen Hadder, who has walked to the North Pole,...
Like most of us 'Oldies', I just kind of fell into yachting. There were no courses as pro-crew. I trained as a mechanic for the Army under an...
Pascal, This was the very first race on the street circuit, all the other berths were put in for the Americas Cup, so I am hopeing this GP will...
Valencia's track is very nice, good berthing too. It will get much bigger. As for yachts, not sure if that was Pelorus or Bernie's boat, also a...
Normaly I would wait for K1W1 to confirm this but as far as I know, alcohol eats certain rubbers in fuel lines and seals within the fuel pumps....

Nasty story time. After Hurricane Luis I was asked to go down to a 38 footer to just run-up the Yanmar to check it worked. After checking for a...
I do very much like the IPS but again not the fiddly controls. The nicest controls I've ever seen were on the 'Octopussy'. On the jetdrive...
Believe it or not, if you go to the West Marine website, they do a very good infoguide to consumption on a regular boat. Battery tech has moved...
