Hello It would seem my old Fax-30 weatherfax is not working as it’s aerial is not grounded. All a bit odd as it came to me this way and I can therefore only assume it never worked for the previous

Hi, On Amel 54 the watermaker fills up 20? Liter Tank before the water goes to the watertank. This water comes out of the tap on the dessalator board. When I was in Hyeres I was asked if I ever

Craig’s suggestion of using 12-Plait looks like a great idea. The chain-to-rode splice should be much less bulky. Kent S/V Kristy SM243 Kent, Very good idea.Let me know how it goes and if it

Right, Bill, plus the crew pushing the pole and the crew taking in the foreguy can be just one person. Same with taking the pole in, when one person can keep tension on the line and catch the pole as

Hi Kent, Our 300' of chain has always done the job without adding rope. Deepest anchorage was off Saba Island in 85'. (Arrived in middle of night and didn't spot the many mooring balls - duh!) I did

Hello Ken, Your list is a good contribution to the group. I wish that I had know about the fresh water flushing sooner. About your pool: the line (originally blue and stretchy ) should go around a

Hello Eric, The same when the blue line is running over the fore cleat. Did that many times on my Santorin as a single handed sailor. Very easy and could be handed by one person. Sent: 07

Hi Pat, I wish I more "internets" here in French Polynesia, maybe I could have convinced you to put it where I did. It's working really well, and the cable length is only about 7 feet. Low loss

Ken, Its funny my wife and I just watch that last night. I knew I had seen an antenna mounted outside the cockpit somewhere ,but could not remember where. I just received the longer (40') cable

To All, Regarding batteries on a Super Maramu.... www.youtube.com/edit?o=U&video_id=BcWBiDnB794 Please check out my video link above. That's my thoughts... Ken Powers SM2K

The blue line was connected where JP, the previous owner, taught me. I'm no expert, but JP owned Aquarius since new, and did as I was told. :) On Friday, September 7, 2018 1:29 PM, "eric

Hi Rick, I am sad to see you and Rascal part ways, but wish you the best!!! We are now in Tahaa and headed down to New Zealand to meet up with JP on Eleuthera the SM James Bond model. All the best

Interesting, thanks Craig. I’ll have to read up on 12 plait. Hmmm, so you kept it in the bow locker? Not spliced to the chain? If so, what was your method of switching to rope rode when your
