It cannot be too difficult to figure out who this dick is. Small world.

In addition to not citing sources, I suppose you also steal your neighbors flowers and show up empty-handed to pot-lucks.

Maybe here? Cut and paste a snippet into google and this is what comes up: http://www.wavetrain.net/news-a-views/647-rainmaker-abandoned-gunboat-55-hull-no-1-dismasted,-crew-evacuated-by-helo

If you are building to a standard, you need to choose hatches that meet or exceed the standard. For instance, a yacht built to European standards would meet an appropriate design category and be approved and documented under ISO 12216. Category A is ocean. An example is here (for Vetus)...

If you are building an offshore boat and you expect the hatch to be as strong as the deck, you have to pick an appropriate hatch. Most are nowhere near equivalent to the deck. For most yachty purposes this is an acceptable compromise. Just not for all yachty purposes. Most hatches on pleasure...

Yachty hatches ain't worth shit.

This boat is not subject to Load Line Convention requirements. She can have any damn window material. If sold to EU she has to meet the Eurorules for boats. The windows on the GB are not "protecting access to spaces below" and not an issue at all. The damage to the companionway was important...

I want to know where the beanbag chair was before they evacuated. Because if it was inside a hull, I think we know what came of the boat...

Opposite of the opposite of a Newbie on SA? Low post count, no tits, bad attitude with no fucking avatar at all.

whatever

Well at least you have 1000 posts. You know the drill.

corecell floats... It sounds like there was no coaming or "sill height" at that opening into the hull. If that is the case, that's just stupid.

Turn of the month max sig wave ht at that buoy I referenced was only 4.4 meters.Max winds 17 gusting 20 m/s. I have no doubt yuo'd go offshore in a GB 55. That's not what I'm asking--nor what many others are asking. We are wondering would you go offshore in the WINTER? Because that is not the...

On the 2nd Feb the at South Hatteras sea buoy (NOAA) sustained winds peaked at 18 m/s (gust to 22 m/s) and sig wave height topped out at 6 m. The gale on the 5/6 Feb was less than that. on the 11th the storm was 23/28 m/s and 10.4 m sig wave height...again this is to be expected in those...

So much for the "global cruising" seaworthiness then? That storm did not get anywhere near the point that it would have sunk a well-found vessel.

I just thought of something. It would be interesting to know whether that Crowley ship had a recording anemometer, and what it said...not that it would be definitive but still, it might be indicative...

LOL.

LOL well played that one but not really comparable.
