It's just a fledgling idea so please don't get the big guns out just yet. I am thinking of spending the winter of 2012/2013 in the Med. on my/a boat. I don't really want to talk about the issues of living aboard or family or finance. I want to know what you have to say about; - what legal...

Came late to this thread - havn't read the whole thing but had to say, When we finaly tried out the Autohelm that came with the boat it transformed our sailing. Much more relaxed for everyone. Yes, I worry about battry too but figure that as long as the engine start battery is charged I can...

Just thought it was only right to report on my experience with the guys at NASA Marine following my recent post about my Clipper Wind problem. Some forumites were not expecting me to get much help but I have to set the record straight. I couldn't be happier with the help and service I recieved...
