Did you look at the boat? How did she deploy an anchor that is stowed away? The anchor is not on a pulpit or otherwise exposed on deck....
Not if you use the correct metal.
Yeah, you've come across the main detractor to composite construction, detecting low grade partial matrix failure and determining the damaged...
Maybe, but I doubt it would work out. It's yesterdays news, another con-man, nothing really to memorialize there. I wonder how much the guys...
Here's the long and short of it, It's an old wood sportfish. Old wood sportfish boats in good condition is worth $50-$150k depending on power. The...
Most likely, IIRC they're built by the same yard. The yard may be holding some primary financing/paper on it.
Correct, the chief issue with any composite is that it quite often holds damage hidden until failure. Carbon Fiber is especially bad on this...
Depends on the diameter of the bag of sand, and it's still an apples to oranges comparison. If I had a bag of sand of 200lbs that was 2 ft in...
??? In what sense? In my experience a "virgin" boat is a sail boat with no engine, typically refers to a larger sailboats.
That would be the best. Cradled in retractable arms for normal ops and then you can have the arms linkaged so at the end it drops it into the...
It's not impossible, but it is highly impractical. It would have to be a semisubmersion evolution at the stern to launch and recover.
Exactly the issue. The legal principle of Respondeat Superior says that the liability goes to the top. If the core can be found to be defective,...
Really, no problems with any Ferretti?
The bouy being forced under would be a deduction from the "A" in the equation because it is going in a direction opposite to that of the...
Of course it does, as in the equation it is part of A. Force will take the path of least resistance. The bouyancy of the bouy should be less...
Did I miss something? Did the PGA suddenly become the bastion for morality? Booze and chicks following millionaires on the PGA is a new thing?
Call the factory and ask them for the layup schedule, that'll tell you everything you need to know.
Repo man hits the engine room first;) Anyone who's gonna steal the boat knows all he same things repo man does.
How does that happen? Look at the angle of incidence between the mast on the bouy and the point of impact. In order for the bouy to act as a spear...
I'd say if that boat hit that bouy hard enough to do that damaged, the whole thing would look like the dogs breakfast, but yet it stands square....
