Re: Broker or go it alone?

I do Pre-Purchase/Sale Consulting but only for Amel sailboats. I do this about 50 times a year. As far as I know, nobody else performs this service. If you do not want an Amel, there is plenty of...

Re: Alternator showing 28-29 volts open circuit

Maybe the original builder planned a 24-volt bank, or maybe bought the 24-volt alternator by mistake. A 24-volt alternator will put out 28 volts.

Re: Halyard tension at anchor

All halyards run over a sheave at the mast top. There is a tremendous amount of pressure on the halyard where it meets the sheave. You might want to consider 2 things:

Re: Generator producing excess AC voltage

Graham,

There has to be. How else would the generator get additional fuel as the load increases.

Look further. I have not worked on one of these, but every other generator I have been up close...

Most generators have an actuator which controls RPM. It adds throttle as load is added to maintain a constant RPM so that you have constant voltage.

My first guess is that the actuator is either...

Re: Coffee maker...

Not a worry on our boat. My total cholesterol is 118 and ratios are perfect. Husband's count is also well below 150. Coffee is not going to have any negative effects on that. I like not having to...

Re: Coffee maker...

Re: Marinas in Turkey

Beware of Kas Marina if you are planning to leave the boat in the water. It is a great place when weather is nice. And a great place to leave a boat on the hard. But when westerly or NW winds kick...

Re: transatlantic insurance

I do not think IMIS can insure a boat with a home port in Spain. The OP needs a European insurance company. Pantaenius anywhere in Europe is a good place to start shopping. We use a French...

Re: Egyptian navy vessel attacked by terrorist

The USA is not safe. I think even Americans realize that. It is no more safe than England or Germany or Australia or Fiji or Philippines. My town of Houston, TX, had 217 murders; 665 rapes; 9,385...
