Re: solo
#1 that monster genoa seems an odd choice for a singlehander.
I wonder if that mess mucking up the transom is electric propulsion or is it some crazy primitive electric power generation?People today will buy a car with square wheels as long as the steering wheel is heated.Comment

Re: solo
The thing on the counter is the self steering gear of course.
The thing that gets me is the size of the fore hatch...IMAGINES VEL NON FUERINTComment

Re: solo
if the thing on the counter is self-steering, what's the bronze/brass looking bit on the end?
The half-acre fore hatch is necessary with that ten-acre genoa!People today will buy a car with square wheels as long as the steering wheel is heated.Comment

Re: solo
I can just about cope with the Nic 55's forehatch, which is somewhat similar but scaled down to the 55 ft /16.7 metre LOA boat.Last edited by Andrew Craig-Bennett; 11-13-2018, 11:32 AM.IMAGINES VEL NON FUERINTComment

Re: solo
Whew! For a moment there I thought the anniversary thing and maybe the bathroom project had brought it all crashing down. BTW there is a woman sailing solo around Australia at the moment. She's already sailed around the world. In a boat set up for it of course. Whole different ball game to the OP.Comment

Re: solo
Perhaps you are unfamiliar with Eric Tabalry. He was eventually lost at sea on another boat, but he had a full crew with him that time.Comment

Re: solo
J Madison - you are quick with a viewpoint. please explain what is a proper watch on deck when a vessel is underway and why that is possible sailing solo over great distances nonstop.Last edited by Ted Hoppe; 11-13-2018, 03:51 PM.Without friends none of this is possible.Comment
