Hi all, I bought the SM (1992) recently and I am refitting piece by piece since a couple of weeks. I always had the subjective impression that the vessel is not horizontal (no list). Today I checked

Hi Colin, In a recent Ocean Cruising Club magazine the Commodore of the OCC describes how his swivel opened at anchor through lateral stress. Luckily he was awake at the time and

Paul, I added the picture to Bill Rouse's photo album titled "Fuel Storage Options". As an extra precaution, I tend to fill the main tank and the supplemental tank at separate times/fueling

Looking forward to your photos, My idea was to use it as a day tank and pump "manually" from the Main tank through the current Racor filter, Then I should have clean fuel in the secondary tank, and

Paul, After mounting the life raft on the rail, the previous owner of Brava (AKA 'Ulys of Tortola') installed a 250 liter supplemental tank in the life raft locker in June of 2011. The tank is

Hi Colin. When I first saw the swivel on an anchor on an Amel boat at the shipyard, the first thought to cross my mind was ‘law suit’. Half of that is because I am an aficionado of all thing

We recently changed our large Stainless CQR anchor for a galvanized Rocna 40, and will keep the CQR as our spare. (By the way the Rocna 40 seems is a perfect fit on the Super Maramu.) The previous

I would be comfortable with a roto-molded tank from a company that makes tanks for fuel. The gasoline tanks in my helicopter are made this way and tested to withstand very high impact. I would not

Good morning Bill, On #289, the aft cabin bed, fully extended is 78” long, 56” at its widest (almost at the head of the bead) and 46” at the foot of the bed. I had a company that came and did a

Paul, I believe that you mean High Density Polyethylene. Polyester is the resin material used most often with glass to form fiberglass. HDPE does work well for fuel when the tank is properly made

Hello! I was recommended by Riza to use High Density PolyEster as tank material for an additional tank in the life-raft locker. Does anyone of you have any experience in that material for a tank? I
