Fleming does work to keep the air draft on the 55' at 16'. Still, the ER height, while not tall enough for many of us to stand, is very good for a...
For some reason you've chosen to attack the Fleming 55 aggressively, saying it's the "worst you've ever seen". Yet, one could survey Fleming 55...
Outer Reef is a great seaworthy and well built boat. I would agree on Selene being good but that wasn't what you asked. Fleming, I'd prefer the...
They may not be gone....
So....you just need one to say yes. That's what you have to hope for. The break through job. It may be a charter where a stew didn't show up. Make...
You do realize this thread is 11 years old I hope and the OP is no longer around. As to your statement "Captain pays", my crew never pays. They...
I am a layman but one well educated on the subject. You're also a layman on this subject. I said up front I don't know the specifics of the boat...
100' should be rather simple unless some very unusual design. You're not pressing against any of the magical tonnages that lead to manipulation...
While what you've said is largely true, the need to reduce the numbers is only relevant to a small percentage of boats, generally at 150' or more....
And many older boats do not have builder's certificates available. It's unfortunately an expensive task that can run from $2000 or $3000 to $30000...

Anything over 79 feet can get into the requirements if it travels to foreign waters and fits certain other requirements.
5. MEASUREMENT SYSTEM APPLICABILITY A vessel is eligible to be measured under the Simplified measurement system if it is either: 1) under 79 feet...
I'm sure he's talking about a vessel for which Simplified Measurement can not be used and it must be Convention measurement.
And yet pilots when faced with issues of such malfunction, react in many different ways and occasionally make mistakes as in the cases of the 737...
My opinion was, and is, that sounding the horn in this one incident would not have changed a thing.
But we don't know if the horn was sounded or not and based on the impact, had someone been below, brining them out might have been good or bad....
Why all the worry about the horn? I can blow the horn a million times and it doesn't change anything and none of us know whether or not the horn...
Shutting down is an option but really doesn't change the outcome in this case and he was trying to regain control, which shutting down is counter...
The ones on Hendricks and Isle of Venice are mostly used. Many of the condos are also rentals. Some of the homes elsewhere are owned by people who...
