this forum desperately needs moderators that dont take a month to ban someone and to actually keep people on topic. "we're bored so we're going to post stupid shit that is unrelated to seeker in the seeker thread" is really stupid. why the fuck did the people who made this website make like 1000 subforums? just for fun? the last 10+ pages of arguments could have been from 15 years ago because this is like the millionth time this has been brought up on the internet. glad the boomers on sailing anarchy finally set the record straight about metric vs imperial

Well the USA continues to make itself a laughing stock by sticking to imperial measurements so what can you do except keep mocking them for it.

BTW thanks for the downvote, I get far too few of them for balance in this cesspool. Snowflake.

Some pictures here of the charity operated research vessel wiring and plumbing. Features include a flying splice with wire nuts in the shower, elegantly simple plumbing, clear functional straight up easily understood labeling of valves and pipes (note HOT and COLD below the shower valves on the left), and careful choice of pipe sizes and mixed materials.

Anybody familiar with how hot water and supply pressure is generated? And does the soapy grey water go somewhere other than the bilge? Separate drain pumps for showers to holding tank?

Is that stranded or solid core wire?

Metric, IPS or PIP on that plumbing?

Best to ask future wreck divers for all such details. Somebody previously mentioned you might get showered with diesel or hydraulic fluid, or water. Sparks too. Mind boggling piping. 15 years of effort.

Definitely sounds like you have the worse of it.

One of my neighbours was a shipwright carpenter. He built a post & beam house. Got into a big argument with the building inspector who said the joints & pins etc weren't to the building code and therefore he wasn't passing it. When invited to try to break one of the joints with a sledgehammer his reply was that the strength wasn't the point, it wasn't to code. The argument that it way exceeded code wasn't received.

Ultimately my neighbour won the argument by going over the inspector's head.

I've done that myself by hiring a professional certified engineer to assess structural integrity etc. Their stamp totally supercedes anything the building inspector has to say on the subject and if they're stubborn the courts will decide in favour of the professional engineer. In fact my big workshop was certified by a professional engineer because I didn't want to get into an argument with the inspector about the framing and it was faster, easier and less stressful to just pay a professional his fee to double-check what I wanted to do. FWIW it's built out of old growth Tasmanian hardwood straight from the mill, semi-air dried then erected. Because once fully seasoned, you are NOT going to drive a nail into it unless you use a nail gun, and not always then either.

Back on topic has Dougie gone anywhere yet?

Yup

Seems likely you aren't a sailor.

Because if you were you would understand the many many frustrations of dealing with imperial vs metric.

It's not boring to us.

So why are you posting here in a thread about the BSO?

If Dug decides to put his pinky toe in the gulf proper, we won't be talking about the pros and cons of base ten vs base 12. Perhaps you could suggest that to him?

It's the only thread he's ever posted in, don'tcha know?

If we would start flicking people for thread drift this would be a pretty empty place.

Looks like all of the above and maybe a few more 😂

That plumbing looks like they hired a crackhead to shoplift it from Home Depot and said crackhead just grabbed any random thing from the plumbing aisle.

Steampunk plumbing.

Someone must have given him a Propex expansion tool for Christmas.
