Very easy to make. search YouTube for “Dyneema Loop” There are a few good videos. My favorite is by a guy with a British accent, from Bottom Up - Boats.

We are currently in Turkey, cruising from Finike to Kusadasi. Been in Turkey almost a year. Now between Mamaris and Didim. Yes, no dumping of blackwater, but pump out facilities are ubiquitous. Never

We leave approx. 1/4 tank of water, maybe less. The n affect about 200 ml of H2O2, just before leaving the boat. We wait a bit, then ruin each faucet for a minute, and flush our toilets (fresh water).

We add Hydrogen Peroxide to our water tank when we’re leave the boat for any amount of time.

I had a similar issue with some new canvas. I told the canvas Lady and she came over with a tube of special stuff. On close examination, it’s ingredient was silicone caulk. She put a small dab in each

I’m a Yanmar fan, having repowered my previous boat with one, before commonrail and computer controls. If the new Yanmar is truly mechanical, I would go with it again, but if not, I would install a Be

The final investigative report is in. The mast failure occurred because of a halyard wrap with the Genoa furler. This is a known issue on any boat with a powered furler.

Cape Marina at Cape Canaveral. DIY, you can do all or part of your own work.

I need to adjust my previous comment about 2, A50’s experiencing halyard wrap. After discussing in that group, at least 4 people admitted to having this issue.

We buy longer, armored charging cords. We are not hard on them, but they seem designed to fail. I think they are a revenue source for the phone manufacturers….we keep several on board.

What did the phone end of the cord look like? Was it previously damaged from wear and handling? This is not an uncommon occurrence with damaged wiring…..

Excellent find! I will be buying these. On our new Amel 50, we had an identical leak. A drip. Researching the owner’s manual, the fitting called out for application of Locktite to the sealing surface.

Good article. I have yet to broach this topic with my insurer, as I’m not converting….yet. keep in mind, though, that Nigel does have a vested interest in seeing Lithium on boats. He’s part of a compa

Spelling, Bill…. Kubota…. even our tractor engine, and Onan genset are Kubotas….

My own penchant for simplicity would push me to the Beta. no electronic fuel injection, plethora of sensors, turbo……. the repair bill on an engine dependent on electronics, when the boat is struck by

That’s a great price! We paid twice as much in Guatemala. we found, after using the chain a few times, it worked better and better through the Gypsies, and in stacking.

Say Hi to Justin for us…..

i can’t see the advantage of twin wheels. especially at extreme outer corners of the stern. We’ve seen some, that make it impossible to enclose (Moody deck salon series), making foulies mandatory for

I installed Fireflys on my previous boat. many of the benefits of Lithium, except the weight. They will also charge using your conventional chargers. I was pleased. I replaced a 600 amp hour, standard
