Re: ICC requirement

Individual national certificates are generally acceptable, especially if you provide translations of key phrases (limitations on boat type, size, tonnage, engine power etc). Croatia has a list of...

Re: Safe and reliable winter lay-up on Sardinia or Corsica?

About 8 years ago I explored both Sardinia and Corsica over a 6 month period, and spent two winters in Sardinia. I wrote up the season's results on JimBsail.info: Cruising guide for Corsica...

Re: Galatas opposite Poros

Located just east of Galatas, called Poros Marine. Small yard with crane and trolley. No direct contact, but if you ask at the beach restaurant - +30 2298 042550 - they'll probably help. For other...

Re: Breaking Docking Lines

Re: Breaking Docking Lines

Energy = mv(squared). Arresting a boat from a given speed will always transfer the same energy. It goes to dock motion, wave reaction, or heat in the rope.

Energy = force x distance. If stopping...

Re: Breaking Docking Lines

+1

Rubber snubbers are a triumph of marketing hype over logic.

A spiralled line, wrapped around a rubber shaft, when straightened will increase it's reach by about 15% of the snubber's length -...

Re: A fun, lively place to winter in the Med?

If you liked Palma city, but were fed up with trekking around the marina, you should consider Cagliari, in particular, Marina Portus Kalaris, very convenient for the town centre. Two marinas further...

Re: need help for sailing to Greece

A 2 year visa would normally give a person right of residence in the EU. Check the wording of the visa. People with right of residence in the EU (even if it's only for 2 years) may only use boats...

Forced Delay. In the event you can not leave within 18 months, you may ask for an extension of a further six months in order to effect repairs - or deal with illness or domestic circumstances.

Re: Volos -- unofficial dock manager -

I'd wait to assess results . . . to see how the relationship developed.
