Duane, I had both the genoa and ballooner sheaves replaced when I bought my SM this past July before I sailed it up to the Chesapeake. If I were you, I would change them both while you are up there

Kent, It looks likeyour place in GA has minute for a little bit less than mine in FL. As an FYI –we connect our Iridium phone directly to the ships computer and use it as amodem (not

Hanspeter, I'm not sure what the "units" are that your plan quotes. The vendors who sell Iridium products are bound by their contracts to sell at very similar prices. I got 500 minutes of airtime

Hi Gary, I had uploaded the file to the Bow thruster Maintenance folder in the files area with your other guides are. Unfortunately, it seems right click & copying file address didn't work on this

Thanks Ian Do you also have the tigres windlass on your SN? So the solution you describe with a snubber to take load off the main line makes sense Did you use this when dropping too ? I guess if I

Hello James I am in the process to buy an Iridium Go here in Las Palamas. What I do not understand about your message. I thougt that Iridium is the service provider. I get an offer of 12000 units

James, We use the companybelow. I really do not know how they compare to other companies since this isthe only Sat-Phone company we have used. We find them very easy to do businesswith. Everything
