Re: Lee shore and no steerage

Didn't a Norwegian Cruises ship get blown ashore a few years ago?
I believe that her engine died in a storm near shore.

Re: Broker refuses to put sea trial as purchase condition

Re: Broker refuses to put sea trial as purchase condition

And.... If you and your broker don't speak fluent French, you want any offer in English.

And this deal definitely sounds Fishy.

Re: Radar is now redundant ?

Did a 200 + foot yacht not strike an unseen rock and suffer severe damage in Alaska last week? Charts are not perfect. (Although radar would not have spotted it either)

Re: Need alternative to Pirate flag

Extremely well said.
It is the noisy minority that gets attention and action. 90% of us are just along for the ride. But we then wonder why things are so screwed up.

Re: Leopard 50 burns and sinks

Interestingly, the fire increased their YouTube views by 50 fold. It may create a new income stream for them. They are certainly charming enough.

It may have been a blessing in disguise.
