Re: Trash compactor experience?

Sure, get a rectangular plastic trash can that fits your shoe! You can use those "shoestring" bags, tighten it shut when full, and step on it inside the can.:D Have you considered or already have a...

Re: Neo 400: What a boat

Paulo,

Ceccarelli was the designer for the Azuree line of Turkish boatyard Sirena Marine. Maybe you're confusing the name with Claudio Maletto. I did like the "chiseled" look of the Azurees. ...

Re: Vendee Globe

Paulo, Did Mike and Alex swap boats?:laugher

Regarding the comparison to the VOR, I think it's two...

Re: Puerto Rico Chandleries/Suppliers?

Hi,

To start, I'd direct you to Sail Caribe and owner Jim Veiga. Jim owns the only PR-based fleet of Lagoon cats, is very organized, service oriented, etc. He also has good itinerary...

Re: Interesting Sailboats

Agreed. What a dissappointment. It is just a bigger 3200! I guess Jeanneau do this line for a very precise niche of racers, just to have the brand out there hopefully in some podiums.

Re: Interesting Sailboats

Funny, these Vendee news, with fishing boats "marring" the race, or Groupe Bel being "hit by a fishing boat". I wonder what the fishermen are saying about the "solo sailor bastards at it again". Fun...

Re: Interesting Sailboats

"Problem of the modern racer-cruisers is that they are weight sensitive. Add 10% displacement and, instead at 15K the yacht will start to plane at only 20 knots of wind. However, this is true only if...

Re: Interesting Sailboats

I agree that a 6 year design is new. I'm careful to have a strong opinion about the new superwide sterns a-la-Vendee or Volvo. Example, Elan 350. For cruising, I simply cannot viualize them on...

Paulo's Propeller

First, that's a beautiful boat. Enjoy! About the engine/prop combination, I'll share a short story. My J/35 has a 20hp Yanmar, and came with a 2-blade classic feathering Max Prop. It...
