Lleh asked:


I know this sonds crazy but I need if for a scene in a play. The people are restoring an old sailing yacht outside and a storm comes up. Nobody wants to quit working so they grab things and bring them into the banquet room of the mansion. The effect should be shocking as in Oh my god you can’t bring THAT into the dining room. A whole mast would probably be to big but other than that, anything that can be worked on separate from the boat would be good. Maybe part of the engine. Maybe something that needs to be sanded or painted. Suggestions?
Gad. Where’s Nyctugcapt or Scienceteacher when I need them?

NJ asked:


I heard, with very little detail, about universities or colleges that mainly focus on yachting, but other classes are offered so that some one could get a college degree. A school that focuses on the water, training skippers and crew. I’m not talking about just any college with a sailing program. I’m a junior and was thinking I could transfer from a small state university to one of these sailing schools. I’m sure that professional sailing/yachting is what I want to make my profession. Can any one help me?

“I had a dream about sailing in a yacht with my aunt who died some years ago. In the dream she announced that she had purchased a yacht with someone. Then I asked her the name of it and I cant remember the name. My aunt was in no position to buy a yacht when she was alive so I was shocked but felt comfortable. What does this all mean?”

riverspecialist asked:


My friend and I have been professional poker players for a few years. We decided we should get a mid sized yacht and sail around the world. This would work out great if we could get set up with realtime internet access so we could play poker online. I’ve looked around a bit but it doesnt seem like this is an option. They have satellites plans that let u do email and send OR recieve data but not really both. I dont need fast internet, just constant realtime 2-way internet!

Looking to buy a sailing yacht, nothing too big. Just for messing about in at the weekend. Length about 11-14 meters. Before doing that though I want to see if I like sailing, and if I can do it. So want to go to Sailing School in Asia, Singapore.

Acoustic Insulation To keep Sailing Fun.

Posted: under Recreation and Sports.

Boating is a very fun activity. However, it can be very dangerous if the right precautions are not taken before jumping aboard. For many of us, the true dangers of boating are not fully clear. However, we should all be aware that accidents do happen and that boats can be fatal when not handled correctly. That’s where the office of boating safety comes in. The office of boating safety is the regulatory board that determines what it means to boat safely. It ensures that life jackets are worn, training is given before you are allowed to drive a boat, and the boat is maintained at regular intervals.

There are fatal and less serious accidents every year because of boats. Some of them are serious and some not so much, but, regardless, the office of boating safety wants to make sure that you are doing what you’re supposed to be doing. The biggest dangers sailors face is inexperienced boaters in the same water with them. Boat collisions and other disasters due to inexperience can be avoided by having the office of boating safety determine if you’re skilled enough to be operating a boat. This assurance is like a driving license for a boat. The office of boating safety is where you would go to get such certification.

It is vital that any vessel you sail is thoroughly maintained and working safely. Regular maintenance checks should be carried out to ensure a comfortable sail and safety whilst on board. One of the biggest features of boat safety is the application of insulator materials, especially acoustic insulation. The rooms below deck need insulating material, including the engine room so that these noises do not make sailing a loud and un-enjoyable experience. If the materials used in acoustic insulation are not kept in good order, they can be a fire hazard and will let more noise into every room, making sailing less fun.
