Well it's pretty simple... If the power in the sails exceed what the hull can take, the boat will pitch pole or flip on its side. A monohull has...
You say it s running how high but you can bring it down with the trim tabs... So if they work why would you want to increase their size. You may...
As mentioned above the most efficient speed is just below hull speed which on that boat is likely to be 6.5 to 7 kts. Next best is fully on plane...
Has to be external ballast... Pull the rudder, drop the keel and it should fit. A lot cheaper this way!
I don't see the math adding up vs buying something locally or at least in SE Asia. Containers are around 7' tall I believe, no way it will fit...
Based on your description the pump should self prime and then force the water out of the coils and hoses downstream of the pump. The only thing I...
I don't understand why so many builders manage to mess up such a simple system! How hard is it to understand that there should be no high/low...
Threading the pipe in the hull??? What material is used for the "pipe"? Is the hull cored? Sorry I don't buy this... You can't thread a fitting...
On many boats options are limited. Sometime you have to fly them from an antenna which may not be on the starboard side. I ve seen people flying...
I used cetol light and clear before natural became available; it was fine on rails. I switched to Bristol almost 2 years ago and find it much...
Q flag goes up... After you are cleared it comes down and is replaced by courtesy flag... What really bugs me is the number of boats still...
No I didn't watch the videos... I was anchored in Norman s cay exumas and wasn't going to ruin my day watching an MSNBC clip!! :) I think we can...
Ed Good luck with your new "life"... Couldnt you have find a marina to run somewhere where it s warm and the water is a nice shade of blue? :)...
While subsidies to oil companies (which are granted to other industries) make for nice political rethoric, I fail to see how increasing taxes will...
See my watermarker leak post... Originally on the Johnson 70 that I run the bilge pump lights were hidden behind a cabinetry door, along with the...
4 years ago, we had a 900gpd sea recovery installed on the boat I run, by a well known FTL dealer/servicer. Due to space issue, we had to install...
In short: brass doesn't belong below waterline or in any system open to sea water. Period. I can't believe builders will take such risks when it...
If you really want a swivel, the the Kong is the way to go. I cheaped out a few years ago and used a Suncor... Cost us a 110 claw... I don't use...
4.19 at the truck in Miami last week with tax... 5.20 in Nassau :(
Indeed if you look at official service intervals on modern diesels they are listen in hours or gallons. Now, gallons may be hard to track.. For...
