Westwinds That German motorsailor is one serious passagemaker, and it would cost a lot less to overhaul. beautifull boat

GG and Meatsea: I may be hurting someone's feelings but I'll tell you this much. I worked close to Turkey for 7 years and it was there that I consolidated my love for Trawlers. If they are asking $half a million for the boat is because the boat worth it and most probably has a bigger value in...

GG These are the boats I am talking about Malahide Trawlers | Facebook A True Trawler Yacht

Galaxy Girl Are you sure that is a Malahide? If it is, you should check that boat real well. The Malahides are very classic Trawlers and there are very few still in action today. They cost too much for me to think about having one. I would make sure of the origin of that boat and I would...

...Señores Art, RT and All: More than anybody here, probably, I am the one who lately has benefit more from this Web Site. I am building a boat, my "Ultimate Trawler", and by the knowledge grabbed in here I have made up or change my mind about several issues that I had previously taken for...

Greetings Gentlemen: I wonder what would be the best value software available to navigate. People is talking about Nobeltec Odissey. Does any of you run this software before? Thank you for your input P.

Daddyo Just leave the philosophical statements for other forums. Please! As Pineapple girl said, a simple photo from your favorite cruising grounds will do! By the way, thank you very much for your contribution! P.

..correction, 1001 Daddy, 1001!

I go with Phil Make an effort and choose a system with epoxy before the antifouling. Choose industrial coatings that have the same quality or better and are not priced as "marine coatings". P

The ultimate trawler could be this one nordhavn 55 - Google Search or this one Passagemaker Lite 5602 - Tad Roberts' fast, seaworthy, fuel-efficient long-range passagemaker Depends on what were my finaly cruising plans. Either way these two would fit perfectely. However, not as perfect as mine...

...yeahp, Inverter is the way to connect AC equipment on a boat runing with batteries. By the way, here in Brazil we only have Xantrex. I am almost buying 2 x 3000 watts Xantrex XPower. One on and another as back-up. Is that a good choice? What is the downside? Thks

Guys I am building my 3rd wood/epoxy boat from scratch and I can tell you: There is no way to encapsulate wood properly with long lasting adherence, with any other resin, but epoxy. Yet, we need to choose the different epoxy resins applicable to different purposes. To impregnate it is used one...

Walt I think Bendit is correct in his suspicion. The noise obviously will be reduced due to the ahydrodynamic profile of the new prop and the increased number of blades. The thrust could eventualy be improved but far from 20% if there's no iincrement in diameter. I would say thjat the new...

Gentlemen: I have had my Side Power thruster stuck in a box for 5 years now. We have just rigged it up properly in its place but I wonder: Being so long in a box should I do something preventive to avoid problems once in the water? I have read all the instructions and the user manual and...

Emporto In fact it is a 42' extended to 46' Flickr: Rainha Jannota's Photostream Take a Look!

Hello Emre My boat was also designed by Roberto Barros Studio. I just made changes above the waterline. As all Roberto's boats, yours look very clean. Congratulations and welcome to the forum. Portuguese

...It's geting 100%. Clean job!

Greetings Daddy & All: I am a romantic by nature If you can sand those doors without leaving white spots, varnish them. Painting teak should be considered a crime. P.

Twisted: Most of the cheap cameras will see in the darkness but in B&W. By the way, if you are motoring you can leave a ER light on. Correct?

Guys Thank you very much for your input. I have just been on the phone with Garmin and they claim that the camera plugs directly in the chartplotter and I can split the monitor in 2 as easy as 1, 2, 3.... I liked Walt's idea. Yet, the Admiral liked it even more. Thank you again

Gentlemen: As most of my trips will be made with 2 people on board, my wife and I, I am thinking about putting a camera in the engine room to monitor the engine fro abnormal smoke or dark stains sliding down the white from the engine. Do you have them? Is it a good idea? Or I could be...

Moonstruck is correct about sailors. That is the ONE crude truth!

Hello Boater: I recently bought an inflatable Seaeagle 370 and love it very much. Although my wife and I are not the athletic type, after 7 times out on sea water we are now capable of rowing it straight nonstop for more than a mile on our local bay. We are training to have it on board of our...

...What Phil meant was that the engines in tugs are powerful, heavy but they are slow. The slower the engine the bigger the prop. By the way, when I meant high ratio gears,, they are high because the engine turns @ 2500 RPM. If the same turns @ 1500 RPM max, the ratio would be different. Ask...

Gentlemen The bigger the prop diameter, the more efficient is the boat at idle speeds. This is because the prop "digs" more water no matter the speed at which it is turning. To have a big prop, we need to have a high gear ratio. My boat for example is the second boat of the same design. The...
