Re: Raymarine p70 vs p70s display

Both p70 and p70S are both ideal for sailboats. The p70 was discontinued and replaced by the p70S model in 2016. The p70S has a much clearer and brighter display than the p70.

Re: Extra Diesel(or other suggestions) for Leopard 40 (2020) to cruise.

Re: USVI considered US for insurance?

All the policies I've had are very specific in terms of the geographic area they cover. Generally, there is a large premium to be south of ~30°N from June 1 to Nov 1. There are typically Caribbean...

Re: Bareboat sailing charter in BVI, what to do, what to skip?

The SandBox on Prickly Pear has reopened better than ever. One of my favorite anchorages and I love hanging out in the shallow water off this beach watching boats come and go into North Sound.

Re: BVI Charts?

I think Imray produces the best BVI charts. Search for Imray A231 and A232. Most of the BVI charter companies put these on their boats.

Landfall Navigation sells paper copies, but you can download...

Re: Aquila 44 coming out of charter / Any suggestions?

BoatTest has a review of the Aquilla 44 with optional 2x300hp engines. It shows a 949nm range (3.6 nmpg) with 10% reserve at 1250 rpm and 6.2 kts. You could probably boost the range by 20-30% if you...
