Wow theres a lot to make fun of with that boat.. Apparently she's only 13 years old so if its made of fancy brazillian hardwood there might be hope.. but probably its toredo infested.. my wooden boat is 51yo and she doesnt leak a drop.. also there doesnt seem to be a keel? and the whole thing is...

I know a ferro that was build from a Bill Garden design, a ketch around 50' or so. of course theres a newbie on it, so it gets a new hole every time he comes into the dock.. complete pos boat

Up here in northern BC I've had my prop tied up tight with bull kelp, just from sailing through a patch in the dark, on a full keel boat. I cant imagine what that would be like with a bulb keel, probably just collects until youre going nowhere.. Then theres those logs that stop you dead from 6...

True, I just figured if I'm already having someone fabricating it, might as well spend the extra 20 or so bucks on materials to make it last forever (or as long as the engine anyways)

^This. Indefinitely, without a smokeshow. Anything else and youre gonna start breaking stuff right when its most inconvenient, while trying to make those last couple miles to harbour against 30 knots and a steep sea..

I'd suggest taking your old elbow to your local machine shop and have them make one out of stainless, I had mine made for $100 3 years and over 1000 hours ago and its been working like a charm with no corrosion.  The originals always seem to rust out quickly, especially if the boat sits for...

Okay so theres way too much going on here to be quoting. I migrated to canada from germany five years ago, but most of my family still lives in germany and i have a few good british friends and a german friend of mine is studying in exeter. Wayne and sea warrior (what are you even doing here as...

Sorry, maybe that came across wrong, i didnt mean you personally, just wanted to explain why i used the per capita data. Thats totally beside the point of "how much bang for your buck". Which is evidently way better with EVs than combustion powered cars. And you can make the same point for...

Well yes, emission per country numbers are useless because obviously a country with a much  bigger population must emit more. It just seemes like some people in north america might feel entitled to emit more than say an Indian. I am looking at a marina right now that has a steady stream of giant...

beat me to it. he might have conveniently forgotton about that.

And with that statement, you just validated this:

I think shes the greatest. She persists in fighting a fight shes unlikely to win, but shes sure starting to get some people moving, and who knows, maybe in her lifetime she will be responsible for some real change. I am all for it, we need about 1000 more Gretas in the world. And who the fuck...

https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-019-01448-4 Point of no return seems fairly accurate. Clearly even a republican should be able to see that this is a complete disaster?

Cant watch the video where i am, was there cops on board?

Theyre in trouble in Norway also. And have been kicked out of Washington. what about the jobs in wild fisheries?

One can hope. If you look up Alexandra Morton youll find a ton of info. The First Nations bands up by Port Mcneill and her actually won a courtcase, so now the fish need to be screened for diseases before being put in the ocean. i doubt its enforced though, the DFO has only been obstructing the...

That IS a man on thin ice, unlike Tom, who's somewhere underneath with no idea in which direction the hole might be..

Obviously you can just stack them.. Seriously though, i thought unimpaired motor vessels always have to make room for vessels under sail. Or is that unAmerican?

Maybe you should try reading the news some day..

"The pointy end goes forward!" Oh wait..
