Re: Saildrives vs Inboard

I've just looked up the Ambassador Marine website and they are showing rope cutters for Volvo saildrives, at least for some models anyway.

Re: Volvo saildrive diaphragm

Also, on another thread it's stated that you can't fit a rope cutter on a Volvo. Is that correct?

Re: Saildrives vs Inboard

I was thinking of changing from a boat with a Yanmar to which I have attached a rope cutter to a Volvo. So I'm interested to know why you can't with a Volvo.
Please and thanks

Volvo saildrive diaphragm

It used to be the case that Yanmar saildrives had a double rubber diaphragm while Volvo Penta had a single diaphragm. Is that still the case? I'm particularly interested in a Volvo D 50 with...

Floating debris

There was a news item the other day about a ship that had been abandoned a year ago and spent the past year floating around the Atlantic eventually to get washed up on the west coast of Ireland. AIS...

Re: Closest true wind of cat?

Great, thanks. I don't have a specific model in mind but I'm looking into the possibility of moving from a mono to a cat, so I'm basically trying to understand the implications. I can't imagine that...

Re: Closest true wind of cat?

Thank you for this. I had thought, from what I read, that cats basically only sailed downwind, but if they can do a 50 degree true wind angle, that's not too bad at all.

Closest true wind of cat?

Hi. What is the closest true wind angle a standard Lagoon-type cat can sail?
Thanks

How does an electric toilet work?

How does a basic electric toilet (eg, Jabsco) work? How is the material evacuated? Does it have any "crushing" mechanism?
Thanks

Prop wash with twin rudders

Hi
Can I ask if anyone has experience manoeuvring under power on one of new type Jeanneau Sun Odysseys (eg, 349, 410) as these have a shaft drive, which is very far aft and twin rudders. I would...

Crabbing sideways

Can a cat crab sideways under power for docking? If so, how is it done? I can understand how you can spin it playing one engine off another but going sideways, yes/no? (Mono cruiser curiosity)
Thanks

Re: Advantages and disadvantages of cats for solo sailing

There are of course a whole pile of reasons for changing. I highlighted the manoeuvring part because that's where I most wanted feedback. Out at sea whether on a mono or cat there's generally room...

Re: Advantages and disadvantages of cats for solo sailing

Yes, there is a big cost involved in changing because, suddenly, all the depreciation that has ocurred on the Jeanneau becomes "real" and, in the end, may well kill off catamaran dreams. The problem...

Advantages and disadvantages of cats for solo sailing

I'm mulling over changing from a mono to a cat. I sail solo, and one of the attractions of the cat is the greater manoeuvrability in port of the two engine layout. [When I first got a mono, it never...

Re: Sailing cat speed under engine power

Why I asked the question was because I was wondering whether, if I bought a non-specialised sailing cat, I could go faster under power than under a similar length monohull, and it seems, based on the...

Re: Sailing cat speed under engine power

If this is the case, a Lagoon being a fairly standard cat, then the same limitations effectively apply.

Re: To "Lock" or not to "Lock" SD50 Props

What YANMAR does not mention is the position of the Gear Selector to ensure a positive "lock" of the prop. "
I don't really understand the "advice". Is the prop not locked if the selector is fully...
