Re: 45k USD for vessel transportation from Caribbean to EU

I got a couple of quotes this year for my 40 ft Cat - similar, around 40-45k. I had quotes a couple of years ago - just pre-Covid of $20-25k, so a hell of an increase. In the 20s, i would have done...

Re: NAVICOLOR GT 41.68018.11

Re: Headsets for two-way communication?

I was a nay-sayer, and even made fun of people using them - but we bought a set of "Marriage Savers" on special at a boat show. Now I would not leave the dock without them! Especially good in...

Re: Insurance needed for transient (temporary) dockage?

I have stayed at Marinas from France to Cape Verde and just about every individual marina in europe asked for proof of insurance and boat ownership (and took copies). In the US (east coast, Florida...

Re: NAVICOLOR GT 41.68018.11

I do not have other codes, but suggest going to the US distributor at marinebeam.com Call thier tech support and ask for Nathan. He is the best resource I have found. Best of luck!

Re: Overly Strict Marina Rules? Or Am I Just New to "Premier" Marinas?

Unfortunately its a sign of the society we live in - give an inch and many will take a mile. its way easier to enforce "no boatwork".

Re: Not sure if this is allowed but I'd really like your input.

Hi
I think you have a great idea. I haven’t read all the responses because …..hey I’m out sailing and don’t have the time or bandwidth that the CF Armchair warriors have 😂. But just a thought...

Re: NAVICOLOR GT 41.68018.11

Hi. The most popular Pin seems to be 1884. This works for most boat pre 2020. I know they used different codes on later models. Hope this helps. I also have some trouble shooting tech data sheets....

Re: Bahamas Rules For Firearms On Board

Play it safe - don’t take any. Stay away from Nassau and you won’t need any. Respect other country’s laws and cultures when visiting. And if you don’t like that - don’t go.

Re: How Did You Decide?

Start with any boat specs that for you are constraints - for example, we are on the east coast and the ICW readily accessible. We like to go to the Bahamas, and we have a 50 ft side-tie dock. So...

Re: Your 2022 Cruising Plans/Philosophy?

Our 2021 plans were changed - largely due to a family illness (non-Covid), but in part by Covid. We had planned to take the boat to Europe in 2022, but with still some uncertainty with Covid and...

Re: Anchor Lights in a Mooring Field (USA)?

One simple question- why would you NOT want your boat to be seen? Yes, the regs outdated in this respect. With modern solar and photo diode technology, there’s no reason not to have an anchor light...

Re: Multi-hull cruising: where to start?

Performance, cruising, and catamaran don't fit in the same sentence - pick any 2 from 3. Since its totally weight driven - cruising and low weight don't go together. And if you are buying a boat to...
