Re: Yacht Rock - Is this a real Genre?

Surely it's an oversight not to include "Louie, Louie"?

Cheers!

Re: Caribbeans destination. First time Atlantic crossing

First, I would recommend one of the Atlantic rallies. The ARC is the big one, but there was a french one "Ralleye des iles du Soleil" that we ran across in the Canaries. There are others. I think...

Re: Faulty bypass diode on solar panel?

A simple question - did this problem just start, or has it been present since the panels were installed?

Solar panels are quite capable of outputting more power than on the nameplate, especially...

Re: Marina suggestion in Lisbon Portugal

We stayed in Oeiras marina in 2015 for a few weeks and liked it. Being Portuguese, it was pronounced Oh eye rish. When we checked in, they asked how many people were aboard. I thought this was to...

Re: ARC or Alone

We are not antisocial, and we had no interest in joining an ARC. We just didn't feel that the expense was worth it, and we didn't feel we needed the support that the ARC provides.

For people that...

Re: VHF License?

Do I misunderstand you, or are you saying that the MMSI issued by the FCC is good for 10 years? I understand the ship's station license is issued for 10 years, but I don't understand the statement...

Re: There are no forum members that confuse A and AH.

Further to this point, the way it was explained to me is that units named after people should be capitalized. This includes Volts, Amperes, Watts, Coulombs, etc. Units such as hour, second, gallon,...

Re: Grenada Marinas

Take a look on NoForeignLands, there are several reviews of the marinas in Grenada.

Re: Dumb questions about breakers

I agree with Harmony. The circuit breaker protects the wire, not the end device or load. I can see no reason you would need a 7 or a 3 Amp circuit breaker. Just use 16 AWG wire or the metric...

Re: Karen picking on boat names!

On the other hand, I heard a British boat trying to hail the Moroccan Coast Guard on VHF. The boat's name was "Blow Me". I would call this an unwise choice for a boat name, particularly one in...

Re: Balmar SG-200 Battery Monitor

State of Health does not work for me. I’ve been reading two horizontal bars for the past few months since returning to the boat after the holidays.

Re: Are Your Floorboards Secured? If So, How?

Those are very nice, but this is a very old thread. I didn't realize how old until I saw a post from Rebel Heart while scrolling.

Re: Boat and Dinghy Protection from Chain Rodes

At the risk of answering the OP’s question - we have 3/8” chain to secure our dinghy and a length of fire hose fits over this very nicely. I think I used about 4 feet of fire hose to make sure the...

Re: Which sealant do I want

I wanted to be able to remove the inspection port on our fuel tanks, so I made new gaskets from rubber, about 1/16" thick. There may be sealants that will work, but I wanted the simplicity of a...

Re: Throttle variance

Re: Does anyone know this nonskid?

All of the Treadmaster that I have seen was diamond pattern, also. Does Treadmaster make a coin pattern like I have?

Does anyone know this nonskid?

Our boat is an Amazon 49 built in Surrey, Canada in 1988. This is a photo of the nonskid used on the companionway ladder.

I believe this nonskid was also applied to the deck, but there are so...

We have had multiple surveys, both for pre-purchase and for insurance. We have NEVER had the mast removed for this survey. Nor have I heard of anyone else ever having this done.
