Having been dropped by Travelers we are receiving quotes for coverage for East Coast US and Caribbean (not hurricane season). Age is apparently a factor in rates and Aletes is a 1998 hull. Received

Good I f, thanks! ~~~⛵️~~~Matt

We are fans of Delos. Have been watching them for a couple of years now. The Amel was not really a relevant part of why we watched, though it is more interesting since we became

Wolfgang, Good to be hanging out with another Amel last night in Cape May. Quite a.little squall last evening! The smaller boat next to us drug back and the young couple were fighting the whole time;

Hi Scott I do like your thinking and see you have muchbmore understanding than I. I generally run my 720ah lithium MV down to around 30% before I top them up with the generator and usually only to

Hi Alan: A couple of thoughts: 1. I highly recommend modifying the track so that you can remove the car easily by simply removing one bolt at the aft end of the track. See my picture below on

Hi Scott, My Desalateur produces 160l per hour easily. Actually one should adjust the pressure to that effect as the water temperature and salinity effect output. So in the West Indies and Greece in

WD-40 is good for starting a diesel but for lubrication it is poor as it absorbs water. Inox does the same job and repels water. To loosen up rusted in place things PB Blaster is far superior. Here

Yes- the drogue was attached as per the article. That time unfortunately was not the first time were in near hurricane/ hurricane force winds and had the JSD out. We had it out for over 30

If you are refinishing down below, where there isn’t constant exposure to direct sunlight, polyurethane is a much better choice for cabin soles. It is much harder, more abrasion resistant. In any
