Do any of the vessels we're talking about have anything like [MEDIA] ...? Seems funny they don't at least have flaps, or sterns that mimic...
But according to BMcF, Sep 11, 2023 - and I hear others' testimony as well - actively suppressing the stern wave and keeping weight aft works...
With the LCS, seems like problems are with the marine gear that permits switching between drive engines. They've recently begun switching in a...
Definitely in Barbados, not Thailand? There are people in Trinidad I could talk to about putting a project together.
That Looker boat is fascinating for a lot of reasons, mitchgrunes. Where did you come across it? I still think putting the glass behind the step...
