I'm writing a book which involves a sailing trip. It would have to be a relatively small sailboat but able to sleep about 3 people. And I was wondering, does such a thing exist?

I know that speedboats often have quite large cabins, and obviously bigger cruise ships do, but can you get 'family' size sailing boats for trips?

I purchased a stereo for my sailboat and have mounted it in the cabin. Now,I need to hook it up to one of the boat's batteries. I need step by step instructions of how to do it because the instruction manual with the stereo doesn't tell me anything.

Was it Scrapped ??? or is it still around in 1 of the Reserve fleets?????.
Dithmarschen, a combination oiler and supply vessel, was built by F. Schichau, Danzig, in 1938, for the German Navy. Taken over by British authorities at Bremerhaven when World War II ended, Dithmarschen was allocated to the United States Navy 15 January 1946 by the Inter-Allied Reparations Commission. She was placed in service 2 May 1946 as Dithmarschen (IX-301), with Captain A. W. Maddox, USNR, in charge. Departing Bremerhaven 8 May she arrived at Philadelphia Naval Shipyard 19 May for conversion to a naval vessel. The need for a one-stop oiler-replenishment type ship had been illustrated by the war in the Pacific, and Dithmarschen was used for experimental work in this field since she had been developed specifically for this type of duty. On 1 October her name was changed to Conecuh and she was redesignated AO-110, but lack of funds delayed her conversion and she was placed out of service 24 October.



Her classification was changed to AOR-110 on 4 September 1952 and she was converted to a replenishment fleet tanker. Conecuh was commissioned 16 February 1953, Commander M. B. Freeman in command. Following her shakedown in the Virginia Capes, she steamed to Greenock, Scotland to take part in NATO Operation "Mariner" (16 September-20 October). She sailed for a tour of duty with the 6th Fleet in the Mediterranean (5 March-28 May 1954), then underwent an extensive overhaul at Norfolk (30 June 1954-4 January 1955). She remained at Norfolk except for refueling units at sea, operations in the Caribbean, and off the Florida Keys (25 October-7 November 1955), until decommissioned and transferred to the Maritime Commission for retention in the Maritime Reserve Fleet 3 April 1956. She was stricken from the Navy List on 1 June 1960.

The hull speed of a boat depends on its length if it's a displacement boat.
Now, a trimaran has three hulls - does that triple the hull speed?
The water line is three times the length, isn't it?
Would love to be told whether this is true, because I want to build a boat, and displacement hulls are first choice for me, because I may go electric powertrain, but I need more speed than a monohull would give me.

The fuel tank sending unit (arm) failed along with the gasket seal between the sender and the tank. The bolts holding the sender to the tank have corroded welding them to the tank. The mechanic broke a bolt and said he wouldn't go any further! Any suggestions for freeing the bolts, super penetrating, or am I reduced to breaking the rest of the bolts taking the sender off and either filing or dremeling the frozen bolts and realigning the new sender and drilling? 1988 33 Egg I believe the tanks are aluminum. I undestand that aluminum won't spark when drilled? Correct?

Just got a I/O Mercrusier Boat. Never had a I/O before. There are Two White Tubes coming from my motor to the outside of my boat and a friend told me they are the "blower". They are supposed to get the fuems out from the motor while running. Although they are not hooked to anything...just laying around. What are they and what do I do? Where do I look for info on them? Help!
