Re: DR or Turks and Caicos
We were quoted at $1.05 per foot at Turtle Cove yesterday. We ended up anchoring in the large vessel anchorage at Grace Bay. Coming in through Stubbs Cut, we saw a minimum of 4ft under the keel at

Re: DR or Turks and Caicos
Currently, blue haven has only been offering floating docks and without water or electricity. This is as of February 4 when I was at TCI. Instead, I stayed at Turtle Cove. It was $.55/ft daily rate

On Providenciales in the T&Cs, there is a nice upscale marina called Blue Haven.

A more reasonably priced option is Turtle Cove, also on

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Painting deck stripes - how much paint is needed??
What kind of paint do you recommend for the faux teak board? I would like to do both the boards and the stripes.
On the same topic, are there Awlgrip paints for the faux teak boards and for the rest

Re: Outhaul shaft removal
Yes Gary,
It is essential that the diameter of the hole of the tool be just slightly bigger than the shaft diameter. This will make the tool sit on the slotted shaft and transmit the force created

Re: Outhaul shaft removal
Hi Barry
In Shelter Bay Marina Colon, Panama I was addressing this problem. I approached the yard asking for a man with a gas torch to heat it. Instead I got a big man with a big hammer and a puller.

If you experience any difficulty during re-assembly just ease the tension of the outhaul line. That line, if under a great deal of tension, can cock the Anderson Winch "cap" slightly
