Re: Where to register

Boatpoker is right about the Tonnage Survey, as soon as the boat is over 12m in Canada and you want Federal Registration then it's mandatory. I had to go threw this with our previous French built cat.

Re: Using a ball weight on the anchor chain

"When you let out more chain, at equal weight to the kellet, you not only equal the weight but you also increase the scope and catenary, providing more benefit than the kellet I think."

Re: Using a ball weight on the anchor chain

Of course there is a wide range of conditions where these are beneficial, incl. 30+ kts of wind conditions. But even then, setting 10kg more in chain scope is better than adding a 10kg kellet....

Re: Bahamas Rules For Firearms On Board

We never had our guns locked in a separate compartment. They were just stored in gun cases with trigger locks on them. Every Bahamian Customs agent we dealt with was okay with that. We were never...

Re: DOCK FOR RENT Ft Lauderdale

$500 seems cheap? Just left there 2 months ago and I was been quoted $15/ft min in that same area, 1/2 wanted $20/ft, maybe they priced themselves out of the market? This won't last long.
