Hello Pat & Alexandre, I have been exposed to insurance companies internal workings in the past. I will play the devil’s advocate here so don’t shot the messenger. - Their first reaction is to

Wow- great idea; hadn't thought about stainless. Thanks.

Have a safe flight. Stay positive. Worry is a killer. Keep us posted. Chuck

Alex, I had forgotten it was your boat that was hit in Nassau , I remember how long that took to to resolve , if it was resolved. You have had more than your share of damage and hassles with

Thanks Pat. I hope the cover will be ok, may be because it was in a compartment where water was not exposed to the sun (so no growth). Otherwise it is sad to see the growth slowly taking

Antonio, It is 1200. The 1500 has only been available for less than 10 years...maybe 6-7. I believe they are the exact same size, but double check that. CW Bill Rouse Admiral, Texas Navy Commander

Hi owners, I want to change my windlasses on my Santorin that's 20 years old. Does someone remember If is 1500 or 1200 watts? I remember 1200. Thanks Antonio Sn 108 vagabundo On Land in Rome Inviato

Hi Warren and Zetta, Did you get it rebuit in Thailand? Interested in recommendation on Good Mechanic.

Hi, We replaced our SS prop shaft due to corrosion. It was not bonded. I think the original shaft was bronze (we still have it as a spare). We discovered the corrosion when we pulled the shaft to

Not much of a clear response from the marina. Getting on a flight to Greece tonight.

Alex, Keep me posted on the cover , being in water should not have hurt it much. Sorry your insurance co. is making things worse for you , as though lack of maintenance would have been a contributing

Hello Pat, Been so busy I haven’t read many of the forum message for the last 9 days. But just read this one out of the blue. I don’t think I removed it from the vessel. I think know where it is

Alex, Do you have the vinyl helm cover for sale. My wife threw ours away a couple years ago, can't tell you why , neither can she. I was hoping to find one to borrow and use as a template. I hope

I'll second Bill R's comments. When we bought our boat it was 20 years old, had circumnavigated twice. It was as close to pristine as could be asked for. Things were just clean and well cared for

For us it depends on the density of towers on shore. With iPhones and verizon when approaching an urban area we normally see our first signals 10 to 15 miles offshore. But not always able to count

Our boat (significantly earlier in production sequence) has the very front edge of the channel near the rollerprotected with stainless steel screwed into the fiberglass. And another small piece

Courtney, I use the standard version and get most everything I need. Other data I simply get from others, etc. If I'm going someplace unfamiliar and need extra information I request a forecast for

I own L'ORIENT, SM2K #422; as the anchor chain exits the boat, underneath the chain forward of the windlass is some kind of heavy duty paper liner intended to protect the gelcoat/fiberglass underneath

Chuck, Just came down a few weeks ago from Cape Fear to Ft. Pierce - got spotty unusable signals about 12 miles offshore of Canaveral. 4G didn't kick in reliably until about 5 miles off as we closed
