Made it to our temporary slip on Deals without mishap thanks to
watchful eye and docking lessons from local, charterboat captain I hired for a half day. I had no real experience with a semi displacement hull like the new boat has. Boat moves nicely in water. -- posted from my Droid --- news://freenews.netfront.net/ - complaints: --- |

Sounds like you moved up to a man sized boat! Semi-displacement means you can still get up on a plane, eh? Didn't go for the 8 kt trawler. |

Okay...but don't ask for many more details, else the trolls will jump aboard. The boat is 37' LOA, and the diesels are Volvos, 250 hp each. In theory, she will do 20-23+ knots, but I don't really know, since the engines have not nearly completed break-in. We were running at 9 to 14 knots, mostly, varying the RPMs a lot. We actually hit 2-3 footers on the way to Deale. No biggie out on the ocean, but around here, that usually means a pretty stuff chop. The hired skipper backed her right into the slip perfectly the first time and probably could have done it blindfolded. He pulled out and I backed in askew three times, but didn't whack anything. I was too occupied to try it with the bow thruster. My BP these days hovers around 116/68...I know it was a lot higher later today. :) -- Guns Don't Kill People -- Fundamentalist Religion Kills People! |

There's nothing like docking your twin screw boat for the first time. May you always have a direct headwind or no wind at all. Do you remember the brilliant piece written about a husband and wife and their docking adventure? It's a good time to read again if you have it. Let me know if you don't and I'll dig it up. |

It is really difficult to say whether or not the alleged new boat has long range or not, but my guess would be not. Running on plane a boat of that type will burn upwards of 20 gallons per hour. Running off plane it will roll your eyeballs out of their sockets in anything but a flat calm. Been there done that. True long range trawlers almost always have some sort of stabilization system to prevent rolling at low speed, and that would be unheard of on a 37 ft boat. We met several people on our Caribbean cruise with unstabilized 50 footers and they were all having problems - fuel consumption was way too high running on plane, and the rolling was intolerable when they slowed down. A 37 footer would be a nice little boat for cruising around the Chesapeake however as long as the weather was half way decent. |

And thus, a perfect example of why I won't be posting many real details about the new boat. My wife and I have no interest in "long range cruising" on a small boat, even a larger small boat like W'hine's. If we want to do some "long range cruising," we'll book passage on the Queen Mary II. What we bought suits us, as it were. At eight knots, according to the boat manufacturer and engine distributor, the boat will burn between 3.5 and four gallons of diesel an hour. I did no fuel burn testing yesterday. We ran "off plane" for nearly two hours, in 2-3 footers, into them, with them and broadside. We were both on the flying bridge and we both commented there was a lot less roll than we expected. The roll wouldn't have been noticeable inside the cabin. -- Guns Don't Kill People -- Fundamentalist Religion Kills People! |

That Parker was pretty efficient at cruise speeds, about 11-12 gph if memory serves. My last Parker burned 6-7 gph at cruise speeds. Of course, the assholes here can make a post and its headers say whatever they want. They really should get some help with their obsession. And you should lighten up, w'hine. -- Guns Don't Kill People -- Fundamentalist Religion Kills People! |
