That much water should be easy to trace... Start with shaft stuffing box, rudders, strut bolts and sea cocks. Does the bilge under the aft cabin...
decent boat but i wouldn't say it's sutable for offshore cruising, unless you mean the occasional crossing to the bahamas, run down the jersey...
The eastern section of the Erie canal is not an issue for most boats (up to 20' I think). That will get you to the Oswego and into lake Ontario....
Neither accident has anything to do with building them light. In the Farallon accident, it's unlikely any boat would have survived the wave they...
Lol... The use of the word "yacht" always sounds funny when taking about a medium size boat here in the US! I know that in some countries a 30'...
I don't know but I think such a ship would be guaranteed solid bookings at least for a few years!
Good read... Thanks for posting!
lol... i was sailing with my 12' Gaff rigged catboat right past your boat about an hour ago... noticed the Swedish flag and a gang of four...
I understand but apparently while a cruising permit eliminates the need for formal vleatance at each port, it appears that customs must still be...
Well I don't run a foreign flagged boat but I have heard and read many stories of FF boats being fined over the years. Here is a link confirming...

Well it's pretty simple... If the power in the sails exceed what the hull can take, the boat will pitch pole or flip on its side. A monohull has...
You say it s running how high but you can bring it down with the trim tabs... So if they work why would you want to increase their size. You may...
As mentioned above the most efficient speed is just below hull speed which on that boat is likely to be 6.5 to 7 kts. Next best is fully on plane...
Has to be external ballast... Pull the rudder, drop the keel and it should fit. A lot cheaper this way!
I don't see the math adding up vs buying something locally or at least in SE Asia. Containers are around 7' tall I believe, no way it will fit...
Based on your description the pump should self prime and then force the water out of the coils and hoses downstream of the pump. The only thing I...
I don't understand why so many builders manage to mess up such a simple system! How hard is it to understand that there should be no high/low...
Threading the pipe in the hull??? What material is used for the "pipe"? Is the hull cored? Sorry I don't buy this... You can't thread a fitting...
