Actually, that makes sense, draft and maneuverability aside. Ok, I appreciate that for SFs maneuverability is crucial, not ony for docking. But...
Indeed. And amazingly, this rule of thumb which was valid 30 years ago still stands, with very tiny differences also in the most modern diesel...
Ok, here they are. The three that I received, anyway - not sure why if there was a 4th I didn't get it. This is the first, called "Sunseeker 66"...
I got your three clips, thanks. But I struggle to understand in which way they can compare with the one I previously posted. I can upload and link...
You can just add @yahoo.com to my username. But in the context of this thread, wouldn't it be more interesting to just post a link here? It can't...
Fine, why don't you share them with us?
Absolutely. I'm also impressed by the choice of giving priority to accessiblity vs. a bit more sound insulation of the genset. Or was the box off...
Think what you like, but you are judging by the video, while I was actually onboard when I made it. And we were drifting in an old residual swell...
According to one of the articles just linked, their recently appointed new President had the nerve te declare that... “Volvo Penta does foresee...
Point taken. Still, you've yet to read from myself a post where I label a boat I've never seen - let alone sea trialed - "a mess".
C'mon, you know even better than myself two things: Firstly, sea state always appears in video smoother than it is. Secondly, adrift boats tend to...
I see your point, and don't disagree - also because I haven't seen Rebeca in flesh - though a few folks I spoke with who did, were stunned. Still,...
Well, the video I previously linked was at zero speed, with the engines off and the boat drifting into a long and gentle swell. And I witnessed...
Yup, as I think you know, that's something I'm also well aware by now, and never argued with that. I would just be surprised if at their HQs they...
In this form, your point is one I can only agree with - wholeheartedly. That's not what transpired from the title, though.
No, they are not. Sleipner's fins are patented, and of course they claim that they are more effective. But I've yet to see one single independent...
I'm not up to speed with regard to prices, but for retrofitting, I would rather go for electrical fins, which are drastically simpler and as...
Well said, NYCAP. You know, actually I can live with the comments from both Pascal and CJ about side boarding being less considered by European...
I can see why, because that's one of their finest boats, congratulations! Besides, the forum majority doesn't seem to really matter a lot,...
Nope, I just give the benefit of the doubt to anyone who can spend millions on a boat that he might have earned that money in some other way than...
