If you are under attack it is your duty to protect your crew the best way you decide. If you are effective, you are ok. If you have a .50 cal...
As I understand it, not many boats managed to break even last year. I'm also seeing a lot of deferred maintenance and refit schedules being moved...
BTW, the only charter boats that make money, the owner does not get to use it on the prime dates for using the yacht. If you want it to make...
Thing is, what was it still good for? Not much. It was a purpose built vessel that served its purpose. It already has a good few repairs done on...
Starting that far out by itself isn't the mistake, it's what he did with that distance that was. If he would have used the distance to get his...
Why not just use the alternators (with a small buffer battery) to run an inverter which powers the battery chargers? Although I don't think you...
I don't disagree with that because if the AG hadn't throttled up, it would have been a miss. I'm still undecided whether that was intentional or...
The Sea Sheppard volunteers have never been accused of being the brightest bulbs in the chandelier...;)

You see the racing versions of Ferarris and Corvettes put at risk and crashed on a regular basis, and the AG was basically that, a stripped down...
Too late...:(
Well, there is the possibility that the photos were altered, but I doubt that. If the photos are true then there exists the proof of delamination...
That doesn't sell though. No one would cut behind the AG to avoid the lines because that's where they are. No, I think the Japanese got tired of...
But...but...carbon fiber is supposed to be stronger than steel...:rolleyes: :p
You're not getting it, the entire operation was a photo op. Everything they do is about publicity. They know that is their most effective tool. It...
The problem I see in the industry across the board, not just with Bertram, is that issues of substance are being short changed for "fluff factor"....
The same quality of vessel or better than the ones they were turning out in 1972...
Australia does not have the economic strength to take on Japan, and Japan knows it. It was funny, Kangaroo Island had a Koala population problem....
The Santanas were blowing out of the north, that only happens a few days out of the year there. It makes it interesting, but he handled it...
