With the chain hook that I posted a few months ago in this thread, you can grab the chain by hanging it overboard with the lines in your hand. It...
Aha, I see. I didn't consider this in my previous comment. In the situation you are describing, it might as well turn into an opportunity to make...
Here it is.
By "close sets" of waves, do you mean a few waves completely different from those depending on the sea state, (as typically happens with...
By whom? If you know of anyone who made tests proving that cat A boats can withstand the applicable sea conditions (or also cat B, C, etc. for...
Excuse my bluntness, but am I understanding correctly that you bought that (beautiful BTW, congratulations!) vessel and you are planning to use...
Simply because the 64 replaced/evolved the 62, using the same hull mould. Interior and deck layout are more different than you might expect from...
I agree with all of that, including your wife's view: the 14x40 Fujinon certainly isn't great from a handling viewpoint - not only for its weight...
Good to hear that. I love my small Navigator 7x30, and it's by far the bino I use more regularly even if my main tool is a stabilized 14x Fujinon,...
Are you positive that they didn't actually replace it with a new one? It's surprising that for them it's more economical to rebuild something so...
Bingo. BTW, many folks are attracted by express style boats not so much because of speed or better handling, but rather for the "open air" appeal....
Looks familiar? :D [IMG]
When it comes to personal preferences, each to their own, of course. But 'fiuaskme, as an office/liveaboard boat I can think of many better...
I believe they used to build either a 57 or a 64, in that size bracket. But I agree, one of their 64 which I've seen was indeed well built. OTOH,...
Yep, I've seen A.F.Theriault & Son abbreviated as AFT in other occasions, so I just took that for granted. But apologies for the wrong spelling of...
CDG, Columbus is one of the larger CHs as I recall, built neither at AFT nor Cantor, right? Pictou, maybe? Never seen one anyway, but I take your...
I believe all the (very few) CH 60 were built by Theriault, which is a good pedigree. I wasn't equally impressed by Cantor construction instead,...
If you don't mind shipping to Italy, and if the parts are in good working conditions, I'm interested in the wind display+vane. Possibly with their...
Well, on a 2014 boat that's not so normal. Waddumean "have to be done", is that because you don't like them, they were abused, or what?
Arneson drives are actually the only thing I wouldn't be worried about, because there's none on that boat. OTOH, it's easy to guess that those...
