I think it's bad that people destroy reefs from anchoring etc. However, it has been going on since the advent of ships. If it's truly an...
I like the way Sunseeker does it better. They have a normal pump like in the photo. Then they mount a higher pump 6-8" above the normal pump,...
I agree. It's quite surprising actually. If they get a calm weather day, it may be possible to get some guys on it and winch the cargo back to...
I like Ramora Bay for dockage in Harbor Island over valentines. Mark the dockmaster and his staff are great. He also rents golf carts. The...
Well if it's showing signs of issues might as well rebuild it. The other option is to do it now at the same time, that way if one is not...
Not necessarily, with sonar, you'll only see a slight rise on the seafloor, maybe a foot a lot of times which could also just be a ledge. How do...
If the other gear is working fine, I'd be inclined to leave it alone till it starts slipping.

I agree as to the actually investigating of the sinking. The only one who may actually send a submarine down or investigate the sinking may be...
That a 2012 yacht is worth quite a bit more being a classed vessel (especially being a Brazilian build), than not paying to have a class surveyor...
If you splice it, it probably won't feed through the windlass. However, I would want more, for various reasons.......you can't always plan where...
Not sure how to calulate wind load, but personally I'd like to see a lot more rode behind the chain, around 200' if you have the room for it. In...
The fact that the boat dropped it's Class, leads me to believe that it was not maintained and getting it into shape was more costly than the owner...
I have the exact map with a point on it that was sent to me by someone in the know, but cannot figure out how to load it. Yachtforums says the...
I have worked on classed boats where there was an indicator light on the dash that showed water tight doors being open, such as engine room door....
