And if it was not designed as a freezer, but designed to prolong the life of tomatoes - the insulation might be lacking. Freezing tuna...

It won't make a lot of difference to me. In the Solent, true and magnetic are the same to a far greater accuracy than either I or the...

Not meaning to be picky but when do latitudes become 'high'? In any event - is the variation significant in terms of one's ability to...

The insulation needed for a freezer is greater than that for a fridge using a 'standard' Danfos compressor. You are using water cooling...

Sorry I missed that you have to use a "D" shackle. This then means the shackle does not rotate and you are more like to stress either...

Take a picture of your shackle, one of each side. Post here. You anchor shackle should have a means to identify who made it. They are...

These rules are a bit more clear. Though a combined harness and LJ SHALL be worn - there is no mention of use of jackstays nor tethers...

Totally agree. My life jacket is my harness, and has a three clip lifeline that lives on it. Our Catalac has the best jackstay setup...

Shackles are 'different' and split pins or rings don't come into the equation - so Thinwater's mention and my detail is a bit of thread...

Far more complicated than that - you need to turn on the ignition, as you would to start the car - so quite sophisticated :) Jonathan

It would be almost complimentary to call my example Post 34 as 'duff' but the failure, not mine, was actually caused by a poor choice of...

If your clevis pin is a bit, or worse, a lot too long then the split pin (if that is what you are using to retain) will stand proud and...
