That’s just crazy !

Lou Thanks for your message. I didn’t choose the option 3. If you read my posts of today you can see that I had no problem to argue. I just don’t accept the decision of the moderators to close the thread which is very different. But I respect it. So, I’m waiting for the Support Admin to...

I agree with you, it was unfair. Therefore I just sent a email to the TF Support Admin to close my account and change my username. Good luck and take care. Pilou

I work in Marseille, I know where is the Sartorius Stedim Biotech plant in Aubagne managed by Olivier Guitard where they work on different systems around a bioreactor process to mix different components and raw vaccines. Also Sartorius has a partnership with Minebea Intec, Hamburg, Germany on...

You are welcome. "The aneroid barometer was invented by French watchmaker Antoine Redier (1817-1882)". I meant "aneroid", not "android" :). An aneroid barometer is a nonliquid barometer. It contains a flexible-walled evacuated capsule, the wall of which deflects with changes in atmospheric...

Guilhem, I replied to your PM also included a link to some photos of my boat. Bonne journée !

Before digital barometers, the state of the art was the aneroid barographs. The most important element for predicting weather is looking at trends, not absolute numbers. Frequent readings are necessary to understand what the barometer is telling us. The solution to the need for noting trends is...

I don't mind at all :) This barograph was made in France by MAXANT, a company specialized in developing and manufacturing technical and scientific instruments. The aneroid barometer was invented by French watchmaker Antoine Redier (1817-1882), it was patented in 1844. At that time Antoine...

It’s a marine barograph, a recording aneroid barometer where the changes in atmospheric pressure are recorded on a paper chart.

Thank you Pierre (Peter B) for your very kind introduction. It was awesome to host you and Doralle and to show you our area. You know, we miss the time with you. Salut Guilhem et bienvenue à bord. It's a pleasure to have a compatriot here more over in my close neighborhood. Congratulations for...

What do you mean

Hi Contingensea, "Batyline Soltis" has different % open mesh but it's not what I have. Mine is "Screen Boat Batyline Iso" Reference 7407 Sable color ("sand" in English) Refence 5029

Above photos’ issue fixed.

The original owner of this Grand Banks 42 Motor Yacht - a world-famous man in the field of the best yachts' builders who is a friend of my husband - went ahead with a long dream to build a personal boat. The boat is powered by a single engine Gardner 6LX. The Gardner is backed up by a Faryman...

Welcome aboard Eduardo. Thanks Peter for posting the link. I follow the adventures of Pat, Ali and family since 2018, now aboard "Bumfuzzle”, their Grand Banks 42’ Classic 1986 hull # 945 very well maintained like new. Beautiful blog with stunning photos and videos, very nice people.

Hi Steve Thank you. Yes indeed I leave the batyline see-through covers all the year long except when cruising long distance at night from the inside helm for better visibility. These batyline "dim" the light just perfect, well let see through from inside and mask the inside of the boat from...

Hi Frosty Yes you are right, my 2 aft saloon windows slope which was the reason why there are bottom tracks. Problem was those curtains of the 2 aft windows didn’t have tieback. So, I asked a hupholsterer to cut one pleat of a curtain from which he made 3 tiebacks to match with curtains and...

Thanks Ray. The two rear windows of the salon have bottom track encased into the teak wood. All windows have external double covers : batyline + sunbrella, with double snap.

To illustrate the great sketch from Ray. Enlarge the pic where a green arrow is pointing. It’s the same "system" on the top track.

You are welcome. Of course it depends about the context as always in a language. “Fortune” may mean “Money” or “Luck” or both. Anyway it’s a nice symbol for your vessel :).

Here they are, + a special cuvee of "Rosé de Provence" wine :). My apologies to Bruce for hijacking his welcome thread :hide:

Thank you. "Cheoy", said "Choy" as well (don’t forget that the original is an ideogram then the translation is only phonetic) is Cantonese. "Lee" is both Cantonese and Mandarin, indeed the name of many families in Hong Kong and Canton. In Cantonese, "Cheoy Lee" means "good fortune". PS ...

Welcome aboard. Perhaps just out of curiosity you should be interested to know the meaning in Chinese language of "Ta Chiao". First, since an ideogram is a graphic symbol representing more an idea in a specific context than a word, it’s never easy to “translate” Chinese ideograms to...

My GB 42 is a Motor Yacht but same curtains as on 42 Classic & Europa. Indeed they are pleated and hung on hooks on a low profile aluminum track.

Very nice, really. Not a big issue, but I’m a woman, I’m not a “Sir” :).
