I have a hunch those smaller structures were never designed to protect the bridge. I believe they were former bases for the high voltage lines...
I see the fenders you're referring to. I believe their purpose is to protect this type of impact from a ship that is only mildly straying. I...
If that was her track, how was she trying to make a hard starboard turn throughout the two blackouts. There are a few foundational islands for...
Quite likely correct, and it certainly got away from him in a hurry.
...or even a protocol of escort once set free with the pilot. She also seemed to be steaming pretty darn fast...
I went to 3 x 6-inch inline fans 120v, 395 CFM. I use one on each side to pull in fresh air. I use one port side for forced discharge. I find...
Sort of rings that there is a dedicated bank here that is weak and perhaps has its own main breaker that has tripped. I know I have a primary...
I think I might have Tourettes...
I had a theory recently about the use of retracting thrusters for slow speed maneuvering on a large sailing vessel equipped with a through-keel...
A guy I know rebuilt one of these, and in doing so began a 24v DC panel early to begin receiving modern gear, shifting 12v reliance to 24 wherever...
You know much more than I do on the subject, but glad to see that my database is accurate to this degree.
Yes, and there's a part of me that would like to swap these out for modern sixes for weight and economy. I've got a bit of a tick about the...
I'm running 12v71TI's now at around 750 HP each. I'm cruising at 1375, burning a combined 22 GPH at 10.5 knots with a generator running...
By "loose crap" do you mean your neighbor's roofing material as it peels off? Our impact was a neighbor's bay window being ripped apart and...
Impact glass is wonderful without the shutters until the neighbor’s house starts coming apart. Hurricane Andrew put a 4 foot 2x4 in our foyer...
That's an odd combination of events. But if it's now operating properly, obviously the steps resolved the issue. Next time you're on the hard...
Worst part of bad design is docking alongside of it.
Had a similar thought recently when contemplating water jet propulsion for a large sloop, whereby one could employ retractable thrusters with...
