Don't you think that if Roddan had been given accurate weights they could have specified ballasting to achieve the design stability, which from...
Probably not. The vessel could have been properly ballasted and if so would have operated within the design envelope. Personally, that envelope...
Like most catastrophes, this one had many parts. 1. Sending the wrong information to the off site engineer regarding distribution of weight,...
Two answers. First, maybe, depending on where the hose is and how tough it is to replace. Second, the suggestion is to wrap the replacement...
Petrotape can be used to wrap smelly hoses and it does a good job of preventing odor from infiltrating the living spaces....
Sure you can, assuming you have roller furling. I sailed the same route on a 36' Cape George and with roller furling on staysail and jib it was a...
Not a coast to hug. As noted, if you need to dart into a harbor because of nasty weather the likelihood exists the harbor will be closed because...
This is a bit of a follow on to the thread on the noise level of the Northern Lights 5 kw genset. As mentioned on the prior thread, the drill...
I suppose that if humans had the ability to destroy the world as you suggest by contributing to an increase in CO2 levels to what they have been...
Well, one argument against spending significant sums of money raised through taxation or increased costs from regulation is that it makes poor...
Global warming threads get pretty heated (pun intended), but if you're research oriented sea levels have been rising at a rate of around 1.8...
Thanks Capt. When I asked the NL dealer, he said they didn't publish sound values, which seemed odd to me. Onan, as someone noted is around 70...
Correction - The Onan price I was looking at wasn't real. The Onan, NL etc. are all about the same price. Thanks again for all the input!
Yes, it is pretty limited space wise. When I bought Delfin she was an empty shell but the PO had put a new NL 20kw in. His idea was to power all...
That's true. Currently I have only a single 4kw inverter, so for 240 (stove, a/c, washer/dryer) we have to spin up the 20kw genset. This is...
Allegedly, Fischer's US service levels are legendary, and not in a good way. Or so the threads I have read on them would indicate.
In Interesting that the Whisper Power is quite a bit larger than the Northern Lights - 32" x 21" x 23" compared to 28" x 19.5" x 20". I know...
The size of all the 5kw units I've looked at seem pretty similar. The Onan is slighter bigger than the NL, and as I recall the Panda occupies...
Many thanks. The Fischer Panda seems to have its adherents, but it also seems like a lot of people have issues with them. NL, Onan, not so much....
I would appreciate hearing from anyone with a sound enclosured 5 kw genset. I currently have a 20 kw that was on the vessel when I purchased her,...
