Talking about boats, size of them and happiness, a little story fits in this thread. Josevaldo Guerra was a school friend 43 years ago. He lived in the same street asI did and we used to go to high school together. I went to college of Engineering and he went to medical school. We have never...

Gentlemen The Italian company became Brazilian not long after buying the Bruce patent. They are located close to the Argentinian border far down south. They also manufacture aluminum masts, blocks and sailing hardware, zinc anodes, etc.

That is an outsatnding example of a wooden boat. Like this, around the world exist many other examples. It is a work of art. I love wood

I'd go 1. Sanding + sanding + sanding then, 2. 50/50 varnish + sanding + sanding 3. then 95/5 varmish with the tip of the silk brush always in the same patern without crossing threads. 4. Then, sanding + sanding and another thick 100% varmish coating. Wich varnish? the cheapest and the most...

Gents Greetings Amongst a MasterVolt ChargeMaster 12 V 70A, a Newmar PT 80 (12V 80A) and a Charles Charger 5000 80A, all at same price, which would you pick? Time to change the Chinese made cheap stuff that is already braking. Thank you Portuguese

Rainha Jannota - Trawler from Sunny Hot Bahia Here's my boat I have been adjusting her in small cruises. I have also been working hard to finalize payments for the final financial commitments before I retire. U know what? I would have done it all over again if I had to.

In Argentine, there's a guy who built a replica and equiped it just like it was...he has it as a trophy, he seldom goes far with it. A work of art anyhow

Greetings In Ecuador you'll probably have a better Garmin assistance. I would go with Garmin in Latin America. Raymarine comes second Rgs P.

....mine runs 100%. It is not a 12V unit, runs with inverter. Yet navigating, on a hook or tied at the pier it is always on. It is very hot here, we always need a cold one! rgs Fernando

Skipper Don't take my word for granted, chek it out and you'll see that Simrad AP24 is the way to go. In your boat you can get the complete system with pump and everything for a lot less than 2K Rgs Portuguese

Guys Thank you for all your comments. I took them out, spread them in small pieces, wash them in good WD40, them diesel, them liquid vaseline, them assembled them and filled them with blue grease. I wonder what will happen now. They are a Brazilian domestic brand claiming to be SS. Rgs...

Guys Thank you all. My neighbours in the pier all aggree with Pete. No problems, no worries and simple replacements.

Thks Scary I have done quite a lot but it seems useless. The door is 1 1/2" thick. Haven't find a perco for that size.

Bayview here's the picture. yes it will help for sure

Greetings folks My boat has been on water since June/14. Yet, I am already looking for new door locks as mine are stuck inside. My doors are close to 1 ½” thick and I cannot find locks from a reliable brand here in Brazil. As my sister is going to Miami soon, I would like to know from you...

I have the Raymarine ST70 with sensor up on the mast. Flawless!

Dear Sirs ...Flowing Tad's wise words. I have had my brand new wooden Rainha Jannota on saltwater for 7 months now and the best moments are when I open the door and feel that soft perfume of red cedar of which she's made of. I know I have been very careful with toilets and stuff, yet, to...

Show me a 63 YO FB boat that can become as beautifull as this after re-furbishing?

... By the way. Th idea of the ICOM was to have a stand alone instrument for AIS...

Hello Twistedtree Nice post you got there. In my case; I have a full Garmin system including two stations with Radar/Chart/Depth. I NEED to add an AIS due to the vast traffic on Brazilian coast and I was thinking about the ICOM class B. Having in mind that my system is already there and I also...

Rainha Jannota comand station.

I have a small stereo with the 2 speakers in and 2 out doors. Yet I do not use it. My wife loves music which she listens all day long using her I-Pad transmiting the songs via blue tooth to a a Bose small set of speakers. Works everywhere in the boat and we only need to carry the speaker box...
