If you suspect a Muir, search their site https://muir.com.au/. I`m in Australia, fan of Muir products, which are serviceable but not cheap. At post 1 you can have trouble attaching a pic, knowledge alone, oryou may need a Moderators permission. But a pic is probably the only way.

I bailed on offering advice after reading the above. But it`s good others were not dissuaded.

Sharked, you asked about forward cabins and noise. The main thing to beware of is "chine slap" which annoys,can keep you awake and some find intolerable. I think it relates to a chine indentation starting well fwd, the water hits there, a slap noise results. I also looked in vain for a Meridian...

This recent thread demonstrates the ability of a "cruiser"( sports boat really) to run from west coast USA to Hawaii: https://www.trawlerforum.com/forums/s3/ray-mccormack-sunseeker-54-delivery-hawaii-currently-underway-70505.html You should find the accommodation you seek in either a "cruiser"...

Where`s that popcorn emoji. How about an anchor discussion?

Sealant such as Sikaflex in the tubes around 300gm used in a frame "gun" keeps well in the freezer after opening, saving waste and giving sealant supply at hand. Use the onboard fridge freezer. Beats pricey little hard to squeeze soft tubes.

What a mess. As BS often baffles brains and you seem to have a handle on where it`s going I won`t even try to analyze the issues. But a lot turns on the degree of authority, actual or ostensible, between you and your ex.

Oli and crew at last finished the Sydney-Hobart yacht race. Full report incl skipper interview:https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-01-03/tas-oli-the-cat-completes-sydney-to-hobart-yacht-race/103280770

I recall a post signature which talked of problem solving the right way, the wrong way, and the way some guy got away with. Which sounds like Mr. McCormack. Un (or under)restrained fuel bladders obstructing ER access is a huge no no, but I suspect Mr. McCormack has a wry sense of humor, he...

Here`s more info on Oli the cat in the Sydney Hobart Yacht race: Last check the boat was still "racing" but at the "tail" of the fleet. About 51 seconds separating them after nearly 2 days of racing, a lucky lift towards the finish line saw Law Connect (which even the owner describes as a...

Agree. Lacking experience of bowthrusters, I thought mine was undersized an inadequate until I replaced the battery and discovered it was more than up to the task.

One of the boats competing in the Sydney-Hobart yacht(sailboat)race starting today has a cat named Oli onboard for the race. Owner says he rarely if ever gets seasick and finds a good spot to curl up during bad weather. Speaking of weather, Australia`s east coast has been beset with...

TF had a member, long gone(perhaps not by choice),"Semi Planing" I think. He related how without warning he threw his young daughter overboard at speed to teach her safety onboard.:nonono: Unsure if a PFD involved. Many TFers suggested alternative teaching methods.

That`s one big Aussie built Maritimo! Congratulations. Note, for me the link works in the email but not on thread.

Didn`t Alaskan just acquire Hawaiian?

Here`s one example of availability:https://superyachtmarina.com.au/ Our Marina at Bobbin Head inside Ku Ring Gai national park, operated by empire Marinas, can and does accommodate boats that size. I don`t think it would be too difficult, the "rich and famous" of Sydney seem to have a taste for...

Brave cat confronting pelicans!There are float support harnesses with a handle for dogs, has no one designed one for cats? Expect resistance from the cat but isn`t there scope for a cat specific redesign?

Maybe it`s made better, maybe not. Then there`s the build issues of Eliza 1, do they there too?. Not sure about the design layout generally either...rather have my conventional Integrity 386 I think. 2 engines, bowthruster, and I know it`s stable offshore.

Reviewing the photos I see the boat has a large electric crane mounted on the aft FB to lift and launch what looks like a RIB inflatable stored there. Wonder if that was taken into account in testing stability?

Deeply hurt feelings. Worse if I was rich.

Maybe "cute" rather than funny, is this little "movie" advertisement celebrating 50 years since 1974 of the Australian male and female clothing and accessory brand "Country Road". The music, the setting,the central actor maybe 50 years older, all contribute. There is more than one version, this...

"Bag" looks to have its origins in male genitalia.

Never seen a thread leap back to life like this did when Hendo reappeared. Welcome back, Solstice is looking great and much loved, and you have a wonderful well deserved new life!

Every time I see the thread title I think of the meaning of "The Last Post". Most poignantly played at military funerals and memorial events relating to deceased members of the armed forces, a haunting melody played solo on a bugle. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Last_Post

Wonder why a boat launched in 2014 needed an 18 month refit in 2020?
