Maybe this seems like an obvious question, because of course i will have an understanding of how the frame pieces together. I guess i am asking whether anyone knows of any high detail yacht model kits that include the pipes and interior gizmoids? I am going to take an engineering course for power yachts in the summer. Making a model seems like a cool thing to do before i get into really knowing how to fix everything on a yacht.

TW asked:


Everywhere I look for passenger and weight capacities for boats they are listed simply as “Yacht Certified.” Is there a rule of thumb for determining how many passengers a boat can carry? I need to know in order to figure out how large a boat I need to buy.

xsarelo asked:


Ok, I wonder how do they take care of the big hulls on yachts, Im talking about 60′ and bigger yachts.
I mean, do they polish/wax the whole surface by hand with some compund or what? It should take a long long time to get it done.
Can someone explain to me step by step how it is done??

Ryan B asked:


I’m interested in sailing yachts part time, a trip here and a trip there. I know people pay to have their yachts sailed from up north to Florida or from Florida to the Caribbean, how do I get a job doing that and how much does a captain typically make per trip?

Stop the Nonsense asked:


Shouldn’t a boat float in either? Would a salt water yacht not work for some reason in fresh water?
So a salt water boat would be fine in fresh water, but not necessarily vice versa?

One man who had no drugs in his case had it vacuumed in case there was any drug dust in there. Fat chance of selling that. A whole ship searched and sprayed because they found a spider. Passengers shoes inspected for soil. Passengers fined because they had an applle given to them on the plane.I have never heard of apples killing anyone or even spreading diseases.I even watched a luxury yacht emptied of thousands of dollars worth of food which (I presume was destroyed) Food for the crew or food for the customs officers.If all thats not going over the top then I give up. Thats one country I will never visit.
