This made me remember an anecdote told to me by a fellow at usenet news rec.boats when that forum was still active. My source had worked either for the U.S. Navy or the Coast Guard in southern California back in the day when hippies were a thing. One day they came across this sail boat heading straight out into the Pacific Ocean and since they were already some distance from the coast they decided to check things out. The boat was crewed by a bunch of young, bearded men claiming they were heading for Hawaii. Sure enough they had food and water to last the trip but very little navigational

Hi Craig message sent on FacePlant

So the dodgy couple that stole the 14m Birdsall 'Harlech' from Opua 5 years ago and sailed it to Australia, have finally been brought to justice. Paul Bennett was convicted and sentenced to 38 months imprisonment last month. https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/crime/122184151/conman-paul-bennett-pleads-guilty-to-580000-worth-of-fraud-charges Simone Wright found guilty on seven charges and awaiting sentence. https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/crime/122491027/conmans-exwife-found-guilty-of-duping-online-buyers

Starting to like the idea of 1000Ah of 48V Li and a DC motor slapped on the top of the saildrive...

Hi everyone, We're seeking a 16x11 LH folding prop to fit to a Volvo 120S saildrive and 18HP engine, on a Farr 1020. Thank you

Is the two blade still avail ?

I am looking for 16” 2 blade folding propeller to suit Volvo /Yanmar type Saildrive to buy, thanks

We have a max prop 3 blade feathering on a 15 ton 50fter with a 110hp motor. No issues at all in 15,000nm so far and performance seems to be very good under sail and motor-never been passed on either. I do make a point of servicing it whenever we come out of the water.
