Re: Pump in Spasms

Have you checked pressure on bladder tanks and that the inline filters are not clogged with sand etc? The solution may be to pump up the tank reservoir since it could be cutting in and out as it goes...

Re: Do I need a lawyer with Amel contract?

Although not an Amel, we bought a new build from a French boatyard. Used a French lawyer and felt that spending 0.5% of the purchase price to be properly protected from, for example, risks of the...

Re: Icom M802 installation on a traditional schooner

We run our SSB through the main switch panel at the nav station for the reasons suggested. No problem with that for us.

Re: What is up with red boats?

Not sure about red as a hull color but it would not be a deal breaker. We have polished Aluminium and a white deck - anywhere we stop, people tell us they like the paint job and are surprised to...

Re: Customs check-in for US flagged vessels?

It all depends where you came from. You have to fly a Q flag and check in with CBP in Puerto Rico if coming from US Virgin Islands because it is a duty free zone. Ditto sailing to continental USA...

Re: Killer whales launch ‘orchestrated’ attacks on sailing boats

Too true. The oil industry never got its due credit for saving the whales...🙂🐋

The “problem” with oil is that it is awfully cheap (as are gas and coal) on a marginal cost basis - still cheaper...

Re: Killer whales launch ‘orchestrated’ attacks on sailing boats

I don’t have the stats for the UK but would bet that farmed fish is much less than 50% of UK fish consumption - the fisheries supply more than UK consumption and we export a great deal to the rest of...

Re: Killer whales launch ‘orchestrated’ attacks on sailing boats

I will try to find the more recent figures but aquaculture has been growing faster than capture in terms of final consumption. I was referring to fish rather than all seafood and recall seeing a set...

Re: Killer whales launch ‘orchestrated’ attacks on sailing boats

I don’t think anyone is denying the negative impact of human fishing, pollution etc. nor that the response should be thoughtful 🙂

Re: Killer whales launch ‘orchestrated’ attacks on sailing boats

I understand the desire to do good. However, given that the majority of the fish consumed by humans have never seen the ocean, let alone “the wild”, I am not sure that this is the answer. Generally...

Re: Dinghy Discussion (Help me learn what i'm missing please)

I suggest you have a look at an F-Rib. All the convenience of a RIB but can fold down to stow. Can be used on davits or hoist on deck with a spare halyard. 3.3m version can take 15hp and plane...

Re: Spinnaker or Code 0

If looking for a downwind sail with the convenience of a furling Code 0 then a furling Asym or Gennaker would be the way to go. Obviously you would benefit from a pole ( it you would need one with a...

Re: Amel 50 vs. Garcia 52 vs. Discovery 48

My two cents... You have a good list and a lot of good advice. If you are really going to do high latitude sailing (north or south) then there is a reason that many are suggesting Aluminium boats -...

Re: Boat manufacturer/model???

Something about the picture makes me think Canary Islands (maybe Parma) or Panama - absence of a mast suggests that she is not going anywhere, anytime soon. Those pilot house windows say old Wauquiez...

Re: This Is Why People Get It Wrong

As StuM say, the thread has drifted from his original purpose about the problems of the vernacular term “right of way”. Since the thread has drifted sufficiently to where everyone (or at least most...

Re: This Is Why People Get It Wrong

Not a bad summary but he needlessly fabricates an origin for the term “rule of thumb”, not least of which is that the term almost certainly pre-dates nautical charts and anyhow, a thumb’s width on a...

Re: This Is Why People Get It Wrong

You are, of course, correct with the important qualification that any change of heading necessary to follow your originally intended course must be known to the give way vessel. That means telling...

Re: This Is Why People Get It Wrong

On the separate point of “stand on”, we started out with our (then quite young) kids using the term “straight on” as that is a vernacular term they immediately understand as the obligation “to...

Re: In Bound Sub (Ocean to Chesapeake Bay)

You are right. 99% of our encounters are reasonable and they are generally pretty straight forward in calling early and providing information.

In the case of the CT encounter, the problem was...

Re: In Bound Sub (Ocean to Chesapeake Bay)

This is what happens when the Sub says everyone has to be 500 yards away and the Container Ship says it can’t leave the channel.... look near the bow of the Ship.
