Tips On sugar sand jet boat

Your boat�s seaworthiness can depend on the load you put in it and where you put it. Too much weight can overload your boat and cause it to become unstable or allow small waves to come aboard. It will also reduce the amount your boat can roll before its sides dip under. Weight that is carried too high will reduce stability, making your boat more apt to roll and less inclined to return to an upright position

Rustler 42 yacht- Designed by Stephen Jones with fast, safe passage making in mind. Combining style that is traditional yet modern with a proven cruising layout and excellent sailing performance, the result is a classic combination built to last a lifetime. Her long fully encapsulated lead keel and big skeg hung rudder give her excellent directional stability in any seaway. Her generous displacement, safe performance and sea kindly characteristics make her a very forgiving and confidence inspiring yacht. Primarily, the Rustler 42 accommodation is designed for living in safety and comfort when under way. However, the spacious, light and airy saloon and galley area make entertaining and living in harbour everything you desire. Every Rustler 42 is built to take the worst of prevailing seas, to look after her crew and inspire every yachtsman with blue water aspirations. The Rustlers heavy weather characteristics are why many are being sailed on long distance cruises, a few are on single handed passages but usually they are sailed by couples who find the safe ease of handling ideal for short handed sailing. She is immensely strong, hull and deck mouldings are laid up by hand using quadraxial matting with isophalic resin. Bulkheads are fully glassed to the hull and deck. Together with substantial stringers and a lead encapsulated keel the result is a yacht with unrivalled strength and endurance. Each yacht can be customised to an owner�s specification.
However the Rustler 42 has been perfected over many boats giving a well proven standard configuration.

Yacht "No Komis" Epirb Activated - Indonesia

Thu, 6 Dec 2007 10:43:49 +0200
We just got this message from a friend's wife. Her husband's EPIRB (Yacht NO KOMIS) went off and he dropped off the nets and e-mail. The local SAR does not seem to have many assets/capabilities. We don't know Indonesia very well, anyone have any suggestions as to any other actions she should take?



"Great to hear from you and get the photos. Life is stressful for me right now. Terry and his yacht "No Komis" are the subject of a search by Search & Rescue, Indonesia. The EPIRB went off last Saturday afternoon, transmitted for about 25 hours and stopped. There has been no Sailmail since Nov 28. Terry was leaving the next day for a brief overnight passage of 100nm. This could be a series of events, none serious, but then again, who knows. Any one thing is no problem, but putting them together does make you wonder what has happened. ......"
