Regarding Steel vs Fiberglass: If I compare two modern 90ft expedition-type trawlers: Nordhavn 86 (fiberglass) and Northwest 90 (steel...
Seen tha radial type before.... In a shipyard i russia!! 4 of them I think 48cyl (in this case BIG ones) 8banks 8cylinders Deep down in a...
My experience is higher speed means longer distance to the tender. I place the tender in front of the third or fourth wave (almost at the...

Anyone got some pics of her after the re-launch?? Looking forward to see some. :)

The AgustaWestland BA609 has a beam of 10m (~30ft) excl the props. (And if the wing isn't folding, the props surely could be built that way!!)...
it's quite a diffrence!! 5,291lb for a medium sized chopper and almost twice the weight for an empty VTOL!!
That's the BIG VTOL-toy!! I was talking about weights of ordinary Yacht-choppers.
More width but parhaps less length. often the length (clearance of the rotorblades) is the limit! But only the ocean is the limit sideways;)...
This perhaps is a solution to the problem!?? a chopper with the performance of a turboprop-plane!! (VTOL aircraft) Didn't find any specs...
It's obvious that this V10 isn't a F1 engine!! Countless of experiments has shown that tuned car-engines don't belong in any type of boat....
ABSOLUTLY. I will not go any further into this subject...
The mainpoint of the concept Communism is: "Everything equal for everybody" and that in my view is what you strive for in this tread!!!!...
WHAT IS THE PROBLEM??? I smell pure Communism in this tread!! If this man wants an experience and he wants to pay for it (working for free is...
As I said before the topspeed was about 3-4knots!!! most likely the trusters are rotatable, so the ship can be in one position without the...
This old design of the F_ship is more like several parking places for yachts etc.
A ship this size wouldn't move much because of sea conditions.... so if there where a docking area in the aft maybe 10ft over the waterline it...
Do you think it is possible to have yachts and boats around the stern under way??? They must have planed it as a harbour when the F_ship isn't...
