Is that all chain, or what? Regardless, 100ft is a sort of practical joke. Replace whatever you've got with 300ft of chain, and be done with that....
I'm sure you will enjoy Rome. Since from Viareggio you will not be far from Florence, you wouldn't regret spending a bit of time visiting it too.
Simple, because that's exactly what you started doing with myself: "You haven't driven the right 80'ers then" Eice primum trabem de oculo tuo......
Fairenuff, if you call it "overall experience" I understand/accept it. Personally, I wouldn't call that "driving", when what you are saying...
Thanks for trusting my knowlegde, but I'm not really up to speed on the current market offer. Aside from Nordhavn and a few other usual suspects,...
LOL, it seems that I was writing while also YF did. No worries anyway, I think OB might have just missed the fact that my comments were strictly...
Not sure of what your point is, exactly. It wasn't "thrill" alone that we were discussing, it was "driving thrill". I'm very curious to understand...
Driving thrill at 35 kts? You're having a laugh, Captain. Don't confuse boats capable of going fast(ish) also in somewhat rough seas with boats...
Now you're talking. Well, I'm not sure I'd pick a Bering among trawlers, but the logic makes sense. And interestingly, for the "mini pocket...
I sort of agree with that, but only because as I previously suggested the AB is a boat meant for fast cruising, not for driving pleasure - of...
If you're looking to go fast, you'd better fly. Leaving aside the fact that even 45 kts is hardly a speed for going anywhere fast, speed on the...
Which is, if I may ask? You are making me curious because I can think of European boats that in some ways I would even prefer to the ones you...
I'm no expert of the differences through the year in the V65, but by 2006 the 1300 V12 was already phased out for the CRM series. That's why...
I believe they used to fit 1300hp MAN engines on that boat, in the early noughties. Which were the most stressed version of the old V12 block,...
That means either no antifreeze at all, or a totally useless one. Replace all of it with a decent one, using the right concentration. No rocket...
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...
