Sorry but I could only give a wild and useless guess. However, since both vessels have taken full advantage of technology aiming for lighter,...
It'll affect performance (thrust and speed), but if I remember correctly what type vessel we're dealing with, I wouldn't be too concerned. Of...
DK how that's possible either. When I teach, my favorite expression is "slow is cheap", and when I see a guy blasting his boat into his slip to...
DK how that's even possible unless he was backing in way too fast to begin with.
If I may make a suggestion based on what we've used on the crewboats, it's a good idea to have hand signals for check (knot cleated with line held...
On a boat that size I wouldn't use communication devices. They may cause distraction while using or if they should be dropped at the wrong...
I've never seen anything like that, and can't imagine it being available outside the factory or designer's studio (proprietary information)....
Check what they're pushing also: 740 tons vs 1240 tons. Lots of calculations involved.
Yes, but additional masts could be needed if the sail area of a single mast couldn't gather enough wind to propel the vessel. Look up the vessel...
Several systems will have an extol (expansion) tank in the system. That could very well be where the problem lies. Check the diagram on this...
A mast can only carry so much sail area before reaching the breaking point. More weight to be pushed, the more sail area needed. In the days of...
Looks like a Florida Bay Coaster. There's a similar type I remember seeing for sale in the Somon's on Chesepeak Bay which it could be also,...
Not much of that in the Miami area.:eek:
Just afraid that one day we'll be looking in the WSJ instead of YF to find out what's happening in our industry.:(
Ah, but you're talking custom. Care to name a few 30'-50' production boat builders who are still building as good as they were and offering boats...
Will there? I can think of several notable names that would have been on your list not long ago but aren't.
That's sounds like a lot of fluid to keep up with. Why are you not just getting it fixed right now? There comes a time to tell the wife that the...
Is the leak coming from the lines or the seals? If the lines can you tell where? If the seals, it's not a huge job or should be fixable by a...
Sorry, but I grew up in the world of "every man to his trade" and I'll gladly die in that world. Whenever I go outside my trade I never charge...
And another bought Harley Davidson. Great for bottom lines; lousy for quality builds. Never bought either from either and never would. I'd...
