Re: Does lightning strike cause delamination on fiberglass hulls?

It's more of a decisive factor prior to a purchase. Now I'm dragging my feet for it.

Re: Does lightning strike cause delamination on fiberglass hulls?

Thanks all. It's good to get a reconfirmation on the issue.

Does lightning strike cause delamination on fiberglass hulls?

My guess is that it does. It should! However, I still do need to ask. Does lightning strike cause delamination on fiberglass, carbon or carbon reinforced fiberglass hulls?

If the boat had to have...

Re: New CNB 60 - Help spec.

Have you made the purchase and received the delivery of your boat? If so, could you please share your experience with the build quality and usability?

Re: 100' Motor Sailer envy. Let's talk Turkey

As a Turkish sailor who sailed gulets for many years as well as western sail boats...

Gulets are usually (90% of the time) coastal cruisers that are not designed for sailing at all. As a matter of...

Re: Will the cleats work as lift points for davit?

Re: Will the cleats work as lift points for davit?

The boat will be placed on the deck, on it's own sled, tied down securely. That's not an issue. As for the slippage of the straps, I'm thinking of a joint solution as using straps and securing them...

Attached Eye Wide Sling Type 9 - Light Duty Nylon Lifting Straps (https://www.uscargocontrol.com/Lifting-Slings/Attached-Eye-Wide-Type-9)

These seem to be the perfect solution right now.

Re: Will the cleats work as lift points for davit?

Like Tingum says; the weak point is not the cleat but the backing.

Mothership is no problem. The issue is with the weight, not size.

Re: Will the cleats work as lift points for davit?

8 inch cleats, they're beefy enough as hardware, however, my main concern is connection points/screws.

Straps are what I have in mind as a viable option too, however, if there's a more practical...

Will the cleats work as lift points for davit?

Planning to purchase a Boston Whaler Dauntless 170 as a tender/dinghy and store it on deck, at stern. Already have a hydrolic davit but may need to upgrade it. The question is, BW170 doesn't seem to...

Re: Lathe & Drill Press on a Boat?

This brings another very important question -which I haven't thought of until seeing this-.

Aluminium hull + metal shavings. Now that's a horror story for me; however, metal boat with metal parts...

Re: Lathe & Drill Press on a Boat?

With CNC, I mean CNC router, as you've guessed. For the lathe, mainly metal work (no big ones like a full on prop shaft but anything solid to keep the boat going).

I already know my way around...

Lathe & Drill Press on a Boat?

O.k. I don't think anyone will object the necessity of a proper bench vice and the long list of the regular suspects of tools to have on the boat. However, what do you say about bigger tools/machines...

Re: Would you go for this 65 footer?

My theory for this reasoning is as follows :

For a USD 50k boat, USD 50k cost can be expected including berthing fees, general upkeep etc.. Since they calculate this rate directly as 10%, for a...

That would be the most idiotic thing to do or to be. I am curious about these prices and the difference between them and other offerings on the web. However, if that makes you restless, thank you for...
