As someone who has also just rebuilt two of these and only had a chance to run them for a few seconds without water but the boat is scheduled to launch in 6 weeks, you are making me nervous! :oops:

A handout is probably overload and overkill for a lot of boats/guests, I break it down, e.g. have fire extinguisher symbols on the cupboards with extinguishers in, have a short obvious label near the VHF on how to make a mayday, have clear sign above the heads on how to use it, maybe have a...

Who did he sell it to, surley they would now be liable for cleaning it up, or is it sold to some form of offshore shell company or one he started up, sold it to then shut it down?

I'd like this engine room(s)... If I owned that yacht I would' drive the engineer crazy, as the owner wanting to tinker in the engine room instead of lounging in the rest of the yacht :D

I wonder what the forward facing vertical parts on top are for, I would have thought that would add drag as wave pass over it?

Great work as always, might want to keep an eye on those self adhesive cable tie down pads, Personally, I have found that no matter the brand sooner or later they peel off then the loom is left hanging by its terminations, so I prefer to put a small screw in each.

Thanks, that was the search term I needed, for anyone else wondering here is a thread from a couple of years ago with updated info Where is Captain R

Really? Wow! He must have spent a ton of money on purchase, transport and storage costs, just for the early phase I saw. Shame, it was an interesting thread, but I always wondered what the final outcome would have been like. It seems when boats like that are converted to private use it is...

A few years ago there was large thread about a guy converting an old supply ship and some people thought he was trolling but turned out he really did own it. I was away for a while after that and now I can find that thread, but am intrigued to know how it turned out. Does the thread still exists...

I'd add: -unblocking the toilet system -diving (on the boat to clean it) - worrying about the weather and how that small good window you had is now disappearing -getting upset at the kids for 'being bored' and reminding them how grateful they should be to have a childhood like this (especially...

Record lots of clips of the family and friends on board as much as the scenery, I always used to stress about the fact I never got around to editing it, but I don't mind now, it is more for memories when I am older and kids have grown up, maybe Ill edit it when I retire, and if not at least my...

You also don't want them on some rubber parts like oil seals otherwise you may find your new paint gets very dirty when you run the engine and oil leaks out of places it didn't before.

I'd like to read that but when I follow the link it prompts me to log in with a Microsoft account, and when I log in with my personal account I get an error along the lines that I am not listed as a user in the Coxengineering SharePoint account. Anyone else have an issue accessing that...

I don't need to roll the clear areas up, I normally just lay them on a double bunk below when not in use. Researching the above ideas reveals that typically thin polycarbonate can be sewn, but also susceptible to UV, acrylic is much more uv stable but typically bonded in. This seemed to be a...

Hi, The clears on my sports cruiser are shot again after 4 years, going brittle and stopped being see thru a while ago (just the clear windows, the fabric around them and roof are fine) despite vary careful handling, cleaning and polishing with the correct products etc (we get a lot of UV here...
