No, I haven't. And then you never had to deploy/recover a drogue - on any boat, I suppose. Med mooring is NOT the reason why I consider winches...
Exactly. And even if it's always a bit of a gamble to judge based on photos alone, she does look like a beautiful one indeed. I'm saying this...
I understand and accept that. I just happen to think that winches are essential on heavy boats regardless of mooring arrangement, also for safety...
Fairenuff, but that's not what I asked. Care to answer my questions, for a change? Besides, aren't we done to death bashing the "mutts"? Anyone...
Yep, Italian she is. Following the OP points: 1. Average 2. I believe GRP up to the w/line and sandwich above, but I can't be positive about it....
Aha, I was only thinking of the current Custom Line. The comparable SL model of that vintage was the SL94. Stunning boat, of which I would think...
106 or 120? I assume it isn't one of the Navettas, because I understood you are interested in something capable also of some speed. Anyway, in...
Nope, they aren't anymore. They went out with a memorable bang, but this has more to see with the owner having been lured by easy money through a...
Just FYI, also the most popular Aicon model, i.e. the 56, was only built with Cat engines. 3406 initially, and C15 in the later years (same block,...
Well, don't hold your breath, because I'm not willing to keep this show up further. Not because my skin ain't think enough, but I tend to lose...
It seems to me that you did a helluva homework for a totally green newcomer. To the point that you make me wonder if there is really a lot you can...
So do I, albeit not all. I suppose you don't love all US boats either, or do you? For instance, I love the fact that in my humble 56 footer there...
Don't get me wrong, no disrespect for the profession as such, but you should consider my comment in its context. I was replying to someone who...
Yes and no. Based on the very same Mercedes block that in those days MAN used for their common rail 1224/1360hp, and very much comparable in terms...
No, I don't. But I can't stand chest-thumping for the sake of it, whenever I see it. Interesting that you are now moving on from bashing Azimut...
If you felt insulted, I apologize. I can assure you it wasn't my intention, but I appreciate that my comment - possibly also because written right...
You'd better imagine something else, because they are not. If I should name two radically different companies among the hundreds (literally, I kid...
Don't you still get the difference, after all the explanations I gave about it? Seriously?!? Regardless, frankly my impression is that it's often...
You'd better tell that to the remarkably opinionated Capt J, then. That's what he is insisting to do, not me. My point was about boatbuilders, not...
You are now making me very curious about your reason for asking. Would you possibly be interested to start praising their boats, if I could give...
