Ruedi, Thank you for the video. I am envious of your windlass performance :) All, I have today confirmed that both chains are ISO, 30 +/-0.5mm links, 315 +/-2mm + per 10 links. On close inspection, I

Will have details for you next week....working very well especially in a seaway.

Thanks Bill for your useful reminder. We should remember that our vessels are not so much a ‘design’ as an evolution by a very remarkable man! Cracks I the gel coat appeared in my port side

Hi Mal, Yes, same darkening on our SN68-1992, Per my 2010 post someone pasted in this thread above, we add a louvered cover to keep air circulating in the chain locker. I replaced the floors a couple

If anyone else runs into this, I got running again with Sykaflex. My ring gear lost a section, about 5cm of teeth. The problem is more that the ring gear then slips on the clutch, since the helical

Part 3 re bulkhead discolouration. I’ve just taken a torch and mirror to look behind the area above the inspection hatch on the bulkhead. It is perfectly sound and the wood is still sealed

Hello Chris, Thank you for this information, I like the double drawer solution of the Vitrifrigo, but a single drawer might be a go too, especially as it looks as though it will fit easily. We have

Hi Darren & Karen, I am also looking for a fridge. For me I want the simplicity of a drop-in with minimal modifications required. Here is my latest preferred model and it fits easily. It is the same

Hi Scott, I have just been going through my note book and have found the lip seal dimensions ID 25mm OD 40mm I do not have the depth but it is not critical Kind regards Nick S/Y Amelia AML

Hello Eric and Robyn, Can I please ask what model Vitrifrigo you installed? Is it the Vitrifrigo DW180? I've been looking at this model and the specs indicate that it might fit, but it's really

Hi Jarrod and Vicki, If the attached image is the part you need, we recently ordered Genoa (Jib) cars from Euro Marine Trading. The cars are manufactured by Antal in Italy and Euro Marine Trading are

OK Robin, so we have the same MS160. I was scratching my head how you would fit a 100cm tall fridge under a less than 100cm tall countertop! -- Scott 2007 A54 #69 SV Tengah http://www.svtengah.com

Hi David, Ok, it's on the list for tomorrow, along with attempting to verify by measurement that I've actually got a 203/ISO gypsy, and its not mis-labelled! I've posted some slow-motion videos today
