Re: Common Objects to Defend Your Boat at Sea

You teach this?

For one, if it’s a illegal weapon, in a use of force situation that will not matter on if your use of force was justified or if it was a murder. Intent, ability to inflict damage,...

Re: How to prevent mice.

Your dog won’t dispatch them?

A guard in the lines would be my first choice

Failing that the bucket type traps works well, just dump them overboard in the morning for the fish to eat, ...

Re: Common Objects to Defend Your Boat at Sea

Nothing to do with glorifying violence, I mean my work doesn’t glorify fire, but we still have extinguishers around and do our yearly squirt and oral test on some fire basics, along with a few other...

Whats it take to de-mast

Hey all,

I was watching netflix Adrift, its based off a true story, but I know they take artistic license, for example the man appears to die from a infection from his broken leg in the movie,...

Re: Any safety issues with this dingy?

Looks like a fun potato chip.

For dingy duty that’s not going to be ideal, it’s not a V hull so it’s going to be sporty in chop and your kidneys might not love you, I’d also expect some rash...

Re: Major mattress moisture help! (PNW)

Cut some lattice work and put it under, it will allow air to flow and should fix that.

It’s also cheap.

Re: Common Objects to Defend Your Boat at Sea

The peaceful thing doesn’t always turn out well, if you end up below decks with them, or on land you end up in a car with them, your chance of a good outcome is quite low.

Secondly you need to...

Re: colvin pilot house motor sailer

When I was looking at the colvins, I remember that one, it was more out of curiosity, it’s been on the market for some time now.

Seems if you are looking for a cheap fishing boat, maybe..

Re: How much below asking price should we offer

Look at the comps

https://www.boattrader.com/boats/make-hunter/model-legend/

Better be a VERY nice one for that price.

Re: Common Objects to Defend Your Boat at Sea

Firearms are the best, but some places don’t like them, also requires time to be proficient like any sport.

A good bow is a option, most places have no problem with bows and a modern compound...

Re: How to handle boat buying paperwork

If you want to to USCG, I’d also have him fill out a USCG bill of sale, CALL THE USCG, they can get somewhat odd on how they want things worded, fill it out, bill of sale, CA title, application for...

Re: Panicking on new boat purchase

No.

Emotion has no place in business.

It’s a transaction, just like buying a apple or a broom

As far as the wife goes, that just comes down to who made the money for the boat, and if...

Re: Binoculars Again -- 7x30 vs 7x50

Bigger objective is always better.

If you don’t need the compass there are much better options like vortex, better bang for the buck and they also have a far better warranty.

Re: Moitessier Hat

Works well

Has a solid state gyro, baro, good GPS, AIS rx

Only draw back is there is zero support for it, so if you have a issue it’s a “go google it” situation

Re: We were attacked by Orcas!!!

Re: Mast paint bubble repair

Why is it bubbling?

If you luck out and it is JUST a paint systems failure, your idea will work.

But.

I’d make sure you inspect the why first
