    Steel boat questions

    As far as I know, you can find Volvoparts all over the World. So I don't see the problem.

    Steel boat questions

    Linssen is well known for their quality. The quality is best in the second hand market as they have fallen for the "modern" interior which is not as nice. Good, sturdy, seagoing vessels. I congratulate you to your choice. If I hade the Money, I would easily get one. I prefer the Vario top 500...

    Humor

    You should be. When a joke is on someone elses expense it's not a joke. This is what women live with every day. Shame on you. I see it for what it is.

    Humor

    The misogony in many of the posts makes me sad. Some are inspiring. As a woman on this forum, living at this day and age, sexist jokes are not fun. Makes me sad. And so glad that the man I have in my Life is a real man who treats everybode with respect and dignity. Do I lack sense of humor? No...

    If you are able, GO FOR IT! You cannot bring the money with you, and why would you not go, just to leave something for your kids? This is how we reason in my family. My mom is in her 70s. She still works, because she loves it. But, I want her to enjoy her life, travel, spend the money she has...

    ICW/Watermaker

    Thank you all! So I conclude, no watermaker on the ICW and use it when out at sea. I'm just starting to research it and it seems marinas are pretty abundant. So filling up, shouldn't be a problem. How big is too big though, regarding length? I'm thinking 50-65ft.

    ICW/Watermaker

    He was talking about his water tank and how often he refilled it. Which was not a problem for him, since he had a small diesel tank and refilled water when he refueled. He then said, if you have a watermaker, it's not a problem. For some reason, I thought the ICW was not saltwater. :) Since it's...

    ICW/Watermaker

    So, I'm reading "What's up ditch" by Chris Dicroce. A very good book indeed. But he mentions watermakers here and there. I was under the impression that watermakers made salt water into regular water. Have I understood it wrong? And does a watermaker even work on the ICW? If it does, is the...

    What Have You Dropped Overboard?

    I lost my glasses in the Canal. And a few Days later my partner did the same. A blind led the blind, so to speak. :)

    Hello from Sweden

    Hi, I just joined. I'm looking forward to new things to learn, new cruising grounds to hear about. We have a Dutch steel canal boat 43 ft at the moment. We want to sail the world, or at least as far as we can get. My favorite boat is the Fleming. Stunning to say the least. And oceangoing.
