We cruised for 5 years on a steel ketch with very basic systems. It had a small refrigerator, maybe 3 cf, with a homemade rig - evaporator plate and belt driven piston compressor. The condenser was stainless tubing coiled in the fresh water tank which was around 80 gallons and integrated into...

I just received an email from the USCoE/Jacksonville requesting public input (by mail, email or a series of meetings) into a new Operating Manual for the lake. This is part of a required EPA assessment and will direct future operation. Given recent press from the green algae and a large range...

Hello Forum Members, We posted a similar request in September and received a number of good leads, but the thread fizzled within a few weeks (not that many steel boats in the US). Since then we have searched, and searched, and been on board a few which are close to matching our wish list. We...
