Enjoyed that watch

Lunarossa have put up a video up on their Instagram of tacking with no touchdown which I think will be the norm going forward

Any time I've managed to catch the racing these boats are foiling the whole race, the only time they touch down is when a mistake has been made. I did wonder myself what the protrusion was there for though

Unfortunately this seems to be a trait of modern society not just in the boating community . People seem more interested in being annoyed and offended by others than they are being happy minding their own business

Sorry i forgot to mention the data usage. If you are going to use data to watch TV I would opt for an unlimited deal. 2 hours of netflix per night for a month is around 90Gb. At around £25 per month the vodafone deals are really a no brainer in my opinion. When bing watching a series on netflix...

I was going to go down the mifi route until vodafone came out with the unlimited deals for around £25 a month. Now all I do is hotspot from my iPhone to whatever i am using to watch the TV, either the firestick or laptop. Other phones can also do the same. Basically all mifi does is give you a...

Even though he's taken a different route there are still other boats who have tried the same thing that are ahead of him. Hopefully once the wind picks up he is a lot faster than the others

As i was reading through this thread this is exactly what i was thinking. Fairly new to sailing and i have not mastered knowing off the top of my head how far away certain lat/long readings are from my current position i am constantly thinking that a rough area/landmark/location/island would be...

I was talking to a colleague earlier and this suggestion came up. The boat is new enough to us that it could be a possibility, it doesn't appear to be losing coolant from the level but I suppose there could be a pinhole in the matrix somewhere that is leaking and then getting burned off creating...

The problem is there constantly The smell is more like an oily/exhaust fume kind of smell rahter than something organic but taking the heat exchanger out and cleaning it is going to be my first port of call in case there is some kind of contamination on the matrix that is being heated and...

We have recently bought a Merry Fisher 805 that has a TAMD31P Volvo Penta engine and when the cabin blowers are turned on there is an obnoxious smell in the cabin(so much so I cannot turn it on). I'm still trying to find my way around the boat so I haven't managed to properly troubleshoot the...

I read a few of the reports now and this was the undertone I was getting from each article now confirmed by yourself. Nobody gets sacked or dismissed from a job/position for something trivial like having a naughty mug, the naughty mug is an excuse to get rid of someone who, no matter how good...

It is that easy although I'd definitely echo the sentiments about unlimited data, most of the big brands are jumping on the unlimited data deals(I've just signed up for the vodafone one with the entertainment deals) which i would recommend as two kids on tinternet will kill data in minutes not...

On the SS bolts I agree we need more info or pictures to be able to come up with some better suggestions. What kind of head are we talking about? Plenty of WD-40 etc sprayed before and allowed to soak in then regularly while undoing is the first solution(FPI fluid is the best for this if you...

Thanks
