Let me add that your dockmaster should be able to get you in touch with captains to train or run with you.
Oh what a skeptical bunch we are. So far all I've seen is a question we've seen here before, one that can bring amusing and educational answers....
Coca-Cola. Nothing goes right when the captain falls asleep. My wife. Since I'm getting paid to do a job I would seldom bring her along....
Call your insurance company. They'll probably require you to run with a captain for about a year.
You're right about that 3rd option, which is probably the most likely if a bunch of noise is made given the federal budget Up here we have...
On its first docking.
That's not exactly a hard news area. I expect their reporters are deciding between a career in TV news or Walmart.
25 kts? Glad you clarified that. Is that with a 2,000 lb. boat or a 75,000 lb. boat or does that speed work for all boats? Some day take a look...
Zero doesn't work out well when you're paid to take care of someone's boat. The way to enter a shallow inlet is to match your speed to the waves....
Do you actually think a stern rides higher at WOT than at idle speed? Maybe with a hydroplane, but not on any yacht I've ever run.

Anybody have it's position charted? It's hard to tell for sure from the news footage, but the area around the boat is clearly shallow and it...
Jelly eh? I'm always learning from YF and not always about boats. Groovy!:D
Never say never when dealing with politicians, scientists and oil companies. Remember they're trying to figure out some ways to cut pollution...
T That's too many ifs. Balsa core doesn't belong below the waterline. Even fiberglass can absorb water.
After gasoline changed their formulation and melted tanks ruining motors I doubt you'll find many manufacturers wanting to risk a change in diesel...
That seems odd unless the OP is going from analog to digital. Maybe have to change some sensors and plugs along with the gauges but I'd think the...
I don't remember ever noticing the "Like" button, but I Like it.:rolleyes:
A friend's captain once hit the throttles on her 110' yacht as they exited the 17 St. bridge in F.L. sending a 6' wall of water into the marina...
I've spent my life trying to learn as much as I can, but choosing a prop still confounds me. As you point out though there is so much more...
