Don, You need to be talking with someone familiar with your boat, cruising area and style. Is your yacht 300' or 30'? Do you plan to fish,...
Has anyone in this thread caught on to the fact that this is very probably way more trouble than it's worth even if a little money is saved....
Marmot, I so agree with you. Sometimes though we all go closer to the edge than is wise. If we weren't (calculated) risk takers we wouldn't be...
I'm not a lawyer, but I have a feeling that's a matter of lax enforcement. Maybe worth the risk with an old tub, but I'd look for word from a...
Documenting a foreign built yacht should be no problem (just a bit costly), but don't be thinking of chartering or using it for commercial...
I so agree with Aeronautic that a piece of paper does not a captain make. It's all about book knowledge now, which is why I recommend anyone...
A few years ago I moved a 60 Sunseeker NY-Fla (6 day trip). Upon boarding I noticed the telltale exhaust marks in that spot, but the owner wanted...

As the pundants were discussing the $4.00 a gallon gas due by Memorial day the other day I finally heard an honest reason from the oil industry...
Intuition II is owned by a fellow named Malloy who until recently owned a large portion of the waterfront (several marinas) in Sag Harbor, NY...
Thank u TK. I've been doing it for years to catch hats, but forgot the technical mechanics of the move so I could pass it on. Consider using the...
Pascal, Thanks, now I can explain it. Hopefully never use it. 60,60,60 (equal time) then opposite 60. Thanks. BTW, I think you meant 180...
Excuse my ignorance, but after 50 years boating we old guys tend to forget some things. Since I mainly operate twin screw when my hat goes...
On 2/8/08 I transported a boat from Northport, NY to Sea Brite, NJ. Georgous day. We passed about a dozen clammers, some PD, Fire & CG and a...
