Re: Windvane pilot with dinghy davits on transom

I have asked this question of Hydrovane and they sent me a number of pictures of solutions. I'd recommend you get in touch with them, I found them very helpful.

Come fill the cup,
and in the fire of spring,
the winter garment of repentance fling.
For the bird of time has but a short way to fly,
and lo,
the bird is on the wing.

Seize the day, put no trust in the morrow,

Happy the man, and happy he alone,

He, who can call today his own,

He, who secure within can say,

Tomorrow do thy worst, for I have lived today.

Re: MacBook Pro or MacBook Air?

Something to be considered is the design of both.
To reduce the weight the Air is built with everything on the motherboard so any repairs are limited, whereas the Pro is built conventionally.

Re: IPad Software?

The two things that made me go InavX was the ability to read data from other devices and...

Re: IPad software ?

It would be for a backup and perhaps a more convenient way to develop a passage plan.

Re: Windvane on a Jeanneau

They do get fitted as the "pillar" is far enough away to allow the doors to be opened.

Re: Yachtmaster Offshore

It is currently a "requirement" before they will issue a NOE (notice of eligibility)
that allows you to be tested for your masters.
The screw turns ever so slowly but always tighter :-)

Re: Yacht master Ocean courses MCA approved

Thanks.
You learn something every day.

Does that mean you wouldn't need STCW95 HELM and GMDSS ?

Re: Yachtmaster Offshore

In addition to the above you will also need a GMDSS & a HELM ticket for an MCA Masters ticket.

The Ocean certificate doesn't require you to attend a course as it can easily be done online and is very cheap to do. There is a...
