Wifey B: We're about to do a trans-Atlantic crossing, leaving JFK in a few minutes, but I don't know the hull design.

I don't think it's a trawler though.

Wifey B: But we live in Fort Lauderdale and had to connect.

Good thing we brought snacks. Dinner should be about 9:30 I'm guessing. Already flown 3 hours and now have to fly nearly 9 hours more. Sure would be more fun by boat.

Wifey B: We also brought a carry-on of snacks but finally had dinner. Now to get some sleep in a bit. Just drinking water. No complaints though as we feel lucky we got out at all, before the snow and stuff that's supposed to hit there tonight. We were worried.

Yes, I do like WIFI in the air. Can't live without the internet.

Interesting design. I can't imagine crossing the Atlantic in a semi-displacement rig....Even if it is 65' by 18' and fully stabilized, I think I'd be more trusting in an N43 that is 20 feet smaller. The Elling is BEAUTIFUL though.

Check out Fleming's videos on youtube, sd hull that has taken him to all points of the compass safely. Very well done and a pleasure to wat h imho.

I meant what I said, "Every light on the boat is LED with the exception of the berth reading lights, and at the end of that passage the filament in every one of them was broken."

Indeed, there are no filaments in LED lights. All the bulbs aboard were LED except the reading lights, they were incandescent, and these are the ones whose filaments were broken. At first this puzzled me, I thought only my light was out, but then others reported the same issue. I assumed it was a breaker, checked it, it was on. I just couldn't believe every bulb had burned out. As I inspected them, however, I discovered every filament had broken.

Probably not 12V lamps? 120 or 230V? Hi voltage is thinner, longer filament; more fragile.

How about 30' on a Flying Bridge for 30 days

So it is a planing hull but an still an amazing display of seamanship. Hope the attachment makes it. It is an article from the Ensign, 1978.

With all that fuel onboard it's surprising there was enough room for his huge set of balls!


Some of my exploits have been called crazy.. but it pales in comparison

IF filament bulbs are sourced at a marine supply and are true 12V bulbs , they have a short life.

The bulbs at the auto supply are fine with 14.5 or 15V from an operating alternator.

Auto sourced are dimmer on 12V battery power. There IS a difference.

In NTSB aircraft accident investigations, they can tell if a warning light was lit at the time of an accident since a hot filament will stretch and break due to inertia and deceleration trauma. Close inspection of the filaments can tell if the filament was blown (dead) before the accident, vs killed in the accident.

[QUOTE=BandB;743384] Our Riva could cross but only has range of 200-250 nm.

Range aside maybe it could do it if you got extremely lucky with conditions otherwise that would be a miserable, if not suicidal, voyage.

Then you'd be the same in an Elling. I'd put the seaworthiness of a 63' Riva up against that of a 49' Elling. And, no, the Riva isn't self righting. Personally, I'm not going to attempt a crossing in anything under 100'.

I definitely wouldn’t do it on the Elling but I might do it on a nordhavn 43+

I wouldn't. Maybe on a Nordhavn 62.
