LOTS of new launch entries greeted me this morning! But it doesn't seem that vee can post on most of those. So I suppose here in General...
Interesting that Feadship offers a choice of very different exterior treatments for the same basic package. Has anybody done this before? Kelly
Err, fair enough panamagold :D So maybe we need a category "Grand Boat" to cover your 61? Kelly Cook
I agree with Carl that the type of boat makes a real difference. My "yacht" threshold for a trawler would be much, much lower than for a...
Offshore cruising and watersports are conflicting requirements. So any design that tries to do both will have a lot of compromise. Comfortable...
Eh???? Here I thought it was the megayachts that were bigger than the superyachts? TOTALLY confused Kelly
Key point I think. Very often on other sites I see guys going on and on and on about how fussy they are going to be about who they sell their...
"She is a 54.5 m Amels from 1998 and the transom is covered with wood, to ensure a high maintenance..." Must say, I don't understand the woodie...
"I am hoping to get a DSLR when i am at the FLIBS so that i can take better pictures." Ehh? Your photos are plenty high quality. I wouldn't...
TERRIFIC job Graham. Were you able to get on board any boats? Kelly
For many of us I think the equation would depend more on income flow than net worth. Easy come, easy go. But unless it's a liveaboard, I would...
You mean Wally hasn't already patented the three pointed monohull? :D
Err .... CODOG .... didn't you just describe a trimaran? :D
Thank you for clearing that up nilo :)
Good to know that nilo. Question: are those crew requirements just for running the yacht? Or do they include galley/housekeeping duties as well?...
That pretty well throws the door open. For example, US aircraft carriers have flight decks with a very different plan shape from their waterline...
Just guessing (sorry to say). But my guess would be "private cruise ship". So any "transportation" taking place is very selective :) Kelly Cook
Neat. I get a big kick out of the interplay between the various bulwark/rail themes. In a different class from a lot of today's designs (which...
I'm haven't studied displacement hull forms much. But for hulls that run higher speeds it's typical practice to have the maximum beam back in the...
Err, I wonder if they can safely make the same speeds in that passage as on the open ocean? Kelly
