Re: Last pictures of Primadonna

Not so much.

Just noting a personal flaw and I'm sure there are people with much worse personal flaws. "Shoot first, ask questions later." There are plenty of people who shoot at thieves.

Re: At The Risk of Starting WWlll

Agreed! If i were going mono, I'd go performance as well. Maybe an ex racer, re set up for single handing.:thumb:

Re: Last pictures of Primadonna

BnB makes a good, but not often touched upon point about safety.

If I found people stealing my things like that, I'd probably get into a major confrontation with them, which would end with them...

Re: At The Risk of Starting WWlll

For me there were 2 factors that made me switch.

#1 Sleepless nights rolling my guts out in an anchorage, stuff smashing all around and falling inside the boat.

#2 Speed

However, I did not...

Re: And So it Begins . . . Knottybuoyz' New Project

I envy this puny setup for removing the moisture from crisp, dry Canadian air! (but do not envy your snow!!)

Here is what the same thing looks like in the tropics. We have to stop work every 30...

Re: Solar Purchase

Nice! Let's try it with the solar to start. We can shop a huge order around a bit to get deals.

I'll start a new thread on it.

Re: Solar Purchase

What about a large, annual solar purchase for forum members???

I need 4x 300 watt panels and MPPT controller.

If we tallied up everyone's order and bought a pallet wholesale, we could get...

Not to mention the spiritual complications, if anyone has any shed of spirituality.

Re: Why Choose Gunboat 60 Over Outremer 5X?

Reading this thread reminded me of a little truism.

It matters not what the cat is made of (carbobn, eglass, aluminum), the actual weight is determined during fit out.

Re: Desperately seeking...

And general words of caution after a quick skim of your blog.

Re: Desperately seeking...

You've really got to narrow the area of FL down. Nobody can suggest a surveyor when different parts of FL are about 10 hours apart.

Don't be scared. Your offer is accepted. This means that since...

Re: how to take prop shaft

First, make sure nobody is in the boat. A quick hello and a knock would work. Go inside and disconnect the shaft coupling. Loosen the packing gland nut. Remove...

Ok, I only skimmed the about us section. Insert Canadian instead of European in my post.

Not at all interested in reading sailing blogs. Prefer to just live it.

Still, compared to the...

Re: Last pictures of Primadonna

This is the correct interpretation of international salvage law. It is about saving vessels and cargo from loss, then being rewarded for that effort. Manned vessel or not.

It has nothing to do...

Exactly. People seem to have changed as much or more thaan cruising.

Salvage is the act of rescuing a vessel or its cargo from peril/loss. It is not stealing a vessel or its cargo. A huge, HUGE...

Re: The 'Salvage' poll

Is this true?

I thought salvage law was international, based on international treaty like all the SOLAS regs?

Inside the USA, accepted international salvage laws apply.

Either way, good...

Re: The 'Salvage' poll

The title of the thread is confusing me. Are you guy talking about stealing things off a boat or salvaging a vessel in distress??

Two very different situations.

One legal, one illegal.

Re: The Evolution of Cruisers

So do boats, but that's not the point. The point is it's not at all serious in comparison for a boat,relative to the rest of the world, if the gps system goes down.

Re: The Evolution of Cruisers

Though I know (rusty) all of this stuff, I don't think we need to know it or should be required to. A prudent mariner has backups. That takes care of losing GPS position aboard the boat.

Re: Beaching for maintenance

Props out to sea.

Just watch the weather. An afternoon pop up thunderstorm can damage the boat or bounce it up on the beach so you can't get off.

The less fetch the better. Wave action is...

Re: The 'Salvage' poll

On a coral reef, possibly in a protected marine sanctuary?

Wouldn't go near the thing! Too much liability.

On rocks or adrift? I have in the past and would in the future remove the vessel...
