I'm not sure if the chase boat of a 100' Wally yacht fits the "megayacht tenders" topic. But I found this 52' RIB, built as if it were meant for...
I never heard of anyone towing a boat of that size for such a long way. And considering the inevitable speed restriction, also the weather window...
I wouldn't have gone as far as that proportion if I should have guessed, but I'm not surprised to hear it. Anyway, pretty sure all hours spent in...
Oi, waddumean? At 58, you're barely at half time. That's how I used to look at it when I was 58, anyway! :D
If it's a great adventure you're looking for, it's easy to predict that you won't be disappointed! Looking forward to help as much as possible...
"We", who? The average readers of boating magazines, who possibly learnt the term from a boat test of a Beneteau swift trawler? o_O I would have...
I would think it's actually even more. It takes an experienced and refined touch for a good final painting, but in terms of time the preparation...
By and large I agree that even assuming to get the boat FoC, she would hardly ever be worth the huge amount of work and money required to bring...
Three out of four of your examples wouldn't even spring to mind to anyone who knows what real trawlers are, and you managed to spell incorrectly...
Yup, for a timing job I'm sure the tool you mentioned allows a much better accuracy. Also, I agree that while a bar at the front would be easier...
Funny you should mention it. I thought the same, also because it's rare to see that type of cockpit extension, on this side of the Pond. Makes me...
Doh! You did say flywheel, and I also mentioned it in my previous post, but yes, it's actually the front of the engine that I had in mind, and I...
Out of idle curiosity, since you mentioned that the boat is in England, I just googled around a bit. Is she possibly the Vitech in Brighton? I'm...
I there a specific MAN tool? I wasn't aware of that. A socket wrench with a 32mm hex socket is all it takes. A ratcheting wrench is almost a must...
Yeah, that must be the reason why for all serious commercial fishermen SFs are the boats of choice, and none of them use trawlers instead....
Do you mean that she came all painted from the factory? I would have thought it's all gelcoat - aside from the blue mask, obviously. BTW, I would...
Sounds like this thread is going to be as interesting as your repowering one. Where's the thumbs up emoji when you need it?? And yes, I'm sure...
Just for the records, this is my reference tool for RPM measurement. Costs less than repowering the boat with electronic engines just for the sake...
Folks, regardless of how different our views and experiences are, there is absolutely no point in keeping going round in circles. So, this is my...
'Course there's no way to calculate the load directly in mechanical engines. But even in electronic ones, where do you think the load numbers come...
