    A few thoughts from a 30-year sailor and API licensed inspector of large oil tanks.There are many concepts in common that have not been discussed. The items seemed pretty reasonable. 1. Whether...

    As a surveyor I will add my comments. Yes the wording is vague and I would ask that he reword it to name the specific items that need repair prior to "cruising" Most items seem small and you can...

    The draft would be like 1' with the keel canted at anchor. ;) As for fastest in the world, I think he has a very specific goal. Fastest mono-hull around the world. I don't think anybody is game...

    IslanderGuy liked post by SVAuspicious On thread : Paint to mark anchor chain?
    I've never had a problem with the tie wraps in my vertical windlass. I use the USCG and USN practice of marking with red then white then blue. Since I carry less chain than a carrier, I put marks...

    Had the forecast been accurate, I think they were more than up to the passage. 20 to 25 knots are not extreme conditions. In those conditions they could have kept up their watchkeeping and stayed...

    I'd like to stay on topic, rather than be dissed for not having enough experience, but I guess you feel free. Fair enough. I've never owned the sort of boat I'm now looking for. Grew up sailing;...

    No life-changing stories to share. But, I will say, the boat serves as one of many sources of glue that holds our family of 3 firmly together. We'd be fine without it, I'm sure, but our lives...

    Take if off clean and fill the holes. Patch the gel-coat. Guaranteed 15 minutes later you will find out exactly what it is for and why it is critical.
