The company that starts with an M seems to be doing ok with fractional ownership for the past 10 years. 10 owners to 1 yacht, 4 weeks per year per...
The Hatteras are very economical at hull speeds, just as much as a same size trawler. The 2 cycle Detroits sip fuel at 1000 rpms or below. I did...
I'm with Rcrapps. No prudent Captain sails directly into a Hurricane's projected path. Planning on passing 65 miles in front of a hurricane is...
1 MPG= mile per gallon, yes with both engines. a mile is a mile.
Yes and moving SW Sept 30th, consistently moving Southwest the entire day before the incident. 08:00AM EDT 24.9N 72.2W 11:00 am EDT 24.7N...
Which I don't/cannot seem to understand the Captain's logic. 65NM from the eye of a hurricane is still in the middle of a Hurricane. The...
65NM from the eye of a hurricane and you still have at least 80% of the maximum winds. The Hurricane took the exact path that it was projected to...
I don't know if they will have anymore info. The only hope is finding the ship and it's condition. The black box would be a real bonus. But the...
Let's try to keep this thread open and on topic.
I'd recommend both Sevenstar and Dockwise Yacht Transport. That is a normal shipping route for them. Hull speed you can get 1 mpg in your boat....
NTSB report October 20,2015 http://www.ntsb.gov/news/press-releases/Pages/PR20151020.aspx
To sum it up, it was found that both boilers needed servicing right before the ship set sail on this voyage. Also, welders and machinists were...
Possibly a vessel name search through the USCG documentation center. Google. Ownership of yachts isn't exactly widely publicized.
I was under the impression the MAN secondaries that are in the canister, that the canister was aluminum or metal, not plastic.
I don't remember any plastic caps of any sort on MAN 900 secondaries. The Man Hummel primaries have the plastic bowl and yeah, they need a lot of...
You're going to have to do some long 24-48 hour legs at hull speed and bring some fuel drums as well. Probably an additional 150-200 gallons....
Check the crush washer on the secondary bleed screws. Did you lubricate the new gaskets with oil before installing the filter and are you sure...
Sounds good, post some pictures when it's all done!
You should get that pet spray paint they sell at the pet stores, then you can paint some black tiger stripes on him :D
Hehehee, I have the same picture when I went through on the 75' Hatteras.
