Is your vessel seaworthy?
That was exactly my point ans why the skippers knowledge is a factor in
deciding vessel sea worthiness. Some can take a 'weak' vessel and nurse her while others let the **** get beaten out of the boat and loose big strong vessels. On one delivery job, when a halyard parted the skipper/owner practiaclly wanted to get the life raft out ! I've also heard of super yachts being abandoned when they lost their rigs 'cos the people on board didn't know what to do. That skipper is still being sought by the authorities I believe and may have scuttled off to the med or islands.

Poor seamanship can result in the loss of even the stoutest vessel. S.Simon "The_navigator©" wrote in message ... Don't ask. The imagination of it frightens me.

I have suitable wood and nuts and bolts to make a foil to attach to the shaft of the outboard motor which pivots. You can bolt taht all in place in a seaway in adverse conditions without falling over the side? Oz1...of the 3 twins. I welcome you to crackerbox palace,We've been expecting you. |
