Hi Kent, What difference do you see between the cooling gas flow of fresh water and cool the gas flow in this one freshwater??? Any. Only a pump to circulate the water because the gas is pushing him

Hi Bill: I am looking at replacing my anchor chain on my SM 2000 (Hull # 335). I have had good service from the original chain but it is time (now 12 years on). I see that nobody replied to this

Kent was commenting on a suggestion to put a heat exchanger circuit (aka keel cooler) in the water tank for refrigeration cooling and wondered about the risk of contaminating the fresh water with sea

Downwind we usually use wind angle and many times if on a beam reach or slightly forward we sail to wind. We have a complete Ray marine set of instruments. Works quite well. When we get a wind

Danny We have an Air X. Looked at the unit you have and I would say it is definitely better for output. Paul LaFrance To: amelyachtowners@... From: simms@... Date: Tue, 29 Jan

Howard, we have a Super wind generator on top of the mizzen and never hear a thing. Paul, what brand do you have?, I wonder if it makes a difference. The superwind has blades that feather in strong

Howard Yes we saw you come into Francis Bay When we mounted the wind generator on the mizzen we used a thick piece of rubber to dampen the vibration. We still can hear the wind generator when it is

Thanks again, As a general rule, under what conditions do you decrease the sensitivity of the autopilot?  Mine is not set up to sail with the wind angle, only by the compass.  Do most of you use the

I can't tell you what Air Ops did for their aft head but we are installing a composting toilet from a company called Natures Head.

Hi Danny, we have not done any changes to the standard measurements for the main and do not experience any problems with the furling functionality. We have the following measurements, close

Hi Kent, the height under the fixed bimini roof is 1.80m in the front and 1.84m close to the missen based on a laminate that is 20mm thick based on 15mm Divinycell core and GRP layers on

Hi Kent, the keel cooler solution is absolutely a possible solution, we choosed our solution based on that the water temperature tends to get above 26-27 Degree Celsius which puts a lot of

Hi Dave, Just going through some old posts. We're having to install a holding tank on our Maramu. The set up you have in your forward head sounds good. Do you have any photos ?? What system did you

Hi again, Jean, After reading about the "keel cooler" I have a couple of questions.  Are you concerned at all about leakage of the exchanger into your fresh water tank?  Are both fridge/freezer

Bundaberg Port Marina has survived the storm as far as I have heard. Currently, the Burnett river and Bundaberg is flooded, Tradewinds III has survived so far as she did in the 2011 floods. We have
