In reference to last paragraph below: since a buddy boat had his (not so expensive) tender “stolen” during the night in PORT VILA, VANUATU I ALWAYS raise my tender in the davits during the night – it

Mohammad, Same here – 2020 completely shot as far as sailing. I wouldn’t be surprised if even Q2 2021 is optimistic for AUSTRALIA as I believe they will first have a 2 or 3 months travel bubble betwee

Hi Aty & Mohammad, Hope you guys are doing well with this COVID situation – I am not sure when I can get back to the boat in AUSTRALIA but I don’t think it will be before Q2 2021. Although you asked a

Yes Sir – makes completely sense and that’s the same engine Porter McROBERTS and I have. The previous engine was D3-110i-C Thanks for the help. Best Regards Teun A54 2009 #128 September 8, 2020 06:31:

Matt, I don’t think VP changes designation per year as the 2007 A54 have the “C” and for sure also the 2009 A54 had “C”. Clearly between 2009 and 2017 they went from “C” to “H” and I am trying to dete
