    New build Sanlorenzo SL96A 2024

    looks those are standard "fendress" with the SL logo embroidered on them, I like them, and grey is the perfect mating collor ;-) John, you will need "Liros" ropes on this gentlements yacht :)

    Yes, I can confirm that 72ft is a good size, for that number of guests, and that kind of useage, we own a 70..75ft Canados now soon starting the 13th season, and still love the boat and its size, a few years ago I've looked at SL82, but that didn't give any substantial benifit, Zero speed...

    Question: (out of interest) - Do the MTU engines have a run-in period, or did they do that in the factory ? - Can you use the boat at full throttle ? did SL do sea trials at max speed ? - does SL need todo some fine tuning on the prop-pitch ? or do they have enough experience with this model...

    Thanks JFM for the praising words, and for pitching my co 😊 I don’t want to hijack this wonderful tread with my business, but your explanation on what Amptec does needs a tiny adjustment; We hardly ever sell systems into night clubs; While it might be all the same for you 😉 we sell and install...

    Dubrovnik anchorages on a RIB

    lots of good advice for Alt, I'll add some later, but just one thing, for anybody visiting Cavtat, the C in Cavtat is pronounced as TS, ( this is standard Croatian langeage, for this position of a C and not followed by a H) so when you say TSavtat, you sound like a local, anything else...

    Can you identify this old steering ram please?

    You can bring the complete cylinder to a hydraulic shop, and they can rebuild the unit as new, thats what I did with my 31yo rudder cylinder last year, the shop did even replace part of the housing, (make new) as jfm say's no need to go the original manufacturer,
