Re: Bestevaer 49ST

Safety measures like bars blocking hatch openings etc. are not to cope with crime; they are the gatekeeper, in case the normal measures like not going where it's bad etc. fail. They are like a fire...

Re: Bestevaer 49ST

I just tie footlong pieces of string to my chain: 1st at 60’ then 2 at 120’ etc. Even though these pieces of string just hang loose this has worked 100% over the 10+ years that we’ve been doing it.

Re: Bestevaer 49ST

I am extremely happy with my Maxwell cone clutch but noticed that many don't use a clutch at all (they use electric down which I only use for short adjustments). I think my cone clutch is direct on...

Re: Bestevaer 49ST

It is a "fairlead". A Panamalead is a fairlead to be used for the cables to the "mules" of the Panama Canal. For many ships, these are different fairleads than those used for mooring.

Re: Bestevaer 49ST

I'm looking at the eye on the waterline at the bow. I would ask them to triple it with plates welded to each side and a good way in, past the turn of the bilge and welded against the stringer there....

Re: Bestevaer 49ST

The hull is vertical surface and thus the issue is minimal.

@FunJohnson: This info was posted way back in this thread; only the table with specific values per color is new :thumb:

Re: Bestevaer 49ST

Yes, that would be around the H8002 22% as well.

If your boat is insulated then it doesn't matter much for heat in the winters in the cold climates... but my experience with light gray was on a...

Re: Bestevaer 49ST

Exactly! Good find that table, I couldn't find it a couple posts back. It shows that even light gray G1001 absorbs 52% of the radiation while pure white G8001 only absorbs 5%.

I have Insignia...

Re: Bestevaer 49ST

You will like the white for temperature. I once had very light grey decks like on the pictures on a steel boat and could not walk them. Stepped on the white superstructure and no problem, big...

Re: Bestevaer 49ST

Even the lightest of gray gives a lot of heat transfer compared to white.

Awlgrip color insignia white is beautiful and cool. Egg shell white is only just bearable; anything darker is too hot.

Re: Bestevaer 49ST

Because I expect a blotted effect for large surfaces. The trick is to not get it too shiny I think, while for detailing like railings etc. this does work wonders. I believe it reacts with the...

Re: Bestevaer 49ST

I have had exceptional results with this polish on bare, cast aluminium Bomar hatches. Well, they were powder coated, then got bare, then I polished with this stuff about 12 years ago and never...

Very cool pics SL! isn't it great to see such quality and precision work? :)

The welds look good on the pics and I wonder what they do with them? Clean with acid like they do with stainless steel...

Re: Bestevaer 49ST

You can't use any of these machines while underway so imo it is silly to buy a machine for underway use when that is impossible :)

For wet weather: sure. Like I wrote before, we just wait for good...

Re: Bestevaer 49ST

Seaworthy, you will not find a unit in that size and can be glad because they are troublesome even in full size frontloaders. We have lived with them since 2002 and nothing but trouble. The...

Bestevaer 49ST

Davits? Don't confuse a hoist bar system with davits... they are opposites. I have only seen one way to improve on this and that is a flat aft deck to set a dinghy or two onto with a crane. Dashew...

I forgot to mention the dorades... there's 15 of them and imo you must have them for ventilation during passage.

Re: Bestevaer 49

I completely understand that you don't want to be dependent on the generator; I would not and I am not. The trick is to have backups for all primary systems. We consider the watermaker and stove...
