Congratulation on your new boat Big Meo, Happy sailing.

Thats correct, us with French boats use "Rotisseries"

Please get your terms correct Brian!

Besides, that boat probably has a built in one in the galley!

Enjoy the new boat!

Pictures are required also.

I was thinking the same thing. Where are the pictures?!

Big Moe,

Congrats on the boat.

One gadget I would consider is AIS.

I discovered that the PO had installed AIS on my boat (the broker did not know, it wasn't in the listing specs). AIS can be pretty cool if you sail in an area with lots of commercial traffic such as the lower Chesapeake.

Congrats Big Moe!
Enjoy your new baby!
Your next job will be posting Photos please.

Exactly right. And what about a genset or ultra-high output alternator.
And maybe a dinghy to get the kids ashore every now and then.

Have fun!

Jacklines?
Tethers?
Lots of comfortable life jackets?
Ship's bell for signaling in fog? (Required since you're over 10 meters)
Courtesy flags?
Halyards on the spreaders for hoisting flags?


Congratulations!

Lets see, 4 tv's, an xbox and added more 110 outlets than I have in the damn condo...

And you're thinking he's casting off from shore power?

if he is, he might wanna look at one of these to provide juice....
