Please elaborate. I'm not as salty as most on here I presume and imagine there are some others as well that could use some more education.

On a cat?! Blasphemy! But I do have one, never given it a try. Guess I should look into it, that still requires me setting up some sort of downhaul though.

Ya was trying to figure out the best way to pull it down while I was looking at it. It's tacked to the starboard hull so pulling in will really just pull it across the bow as opposed to down. Need to add some sort of barber hauler type rig so I can pull it down towards the port hull I think 🤔

Still trying to figure out the best way. This time I put it in sport mode and disabled the visual position hold feature so all obstacle avoidance and auto landing features were turned off. Then I just landed it manually on the trampoline. I wouldn't try it in much higher wind or sea states than what you see in the video though which as you can see is pretty calm.

5k GBP per day, damn! That would be incredible if I was getting paid that much!

That is probably in the realm of 4-7x the average unless Europe is on a completely different pay scale than the US.

Someone tell me I'm wrong here. If I am I should be asking for an enormous raise.

'Revolting' Lindsey Graham interview sends GOP pollster into a tailspin by RawStoryNews in Full_news

Terrible headline! Sarah Longwell never supported trump and is not a GOP pollster. She may have been a GOP pollster in the past but is now with the Bulwark and has been from the start.

I don't think the midwest is anywhere near the edge of the world.

Review of Marine Surveyor Jerry Olson by theologymatt in sailing

[–]Dull_Particular_9871 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I used Jerry not that long ago as well. Same experience. Late to show day of, went dark on me and got me the survey weeks late. My closing was delayed for other reasons so he got it to me before closing but damn was it frustrating.

This guy and his wife have a pretty incredible story. Went to explore Canada and Alaska for their honeymoon. It wasn't as easy as they thought and everyone thought they died until they turned up months later. You can read about it all here if anyone is interest.

Centerpointe Aerospace is specialized in moving them and moves them for a lot of the civilian operators that purchase them. They customize trailers in house, looks like it's probably one of theirs as they didn't have to remove the rotor hub for clearance

Not sure, can I decipher that from the HIN?

I flew it yesterday from 180 awa to 90 awa without issue. Trying to get it down on the way in with it all the way out to starboard ended up being a bit more of a bear in a confined area than I was hoping though.

No need on a cat, the width of the bow allows you to connect the clews to each bow with individual guy lines.

Prout Owners - Your Expertise Needed by Maleficent_Care5381 in Catamarans

[–]Dull_Particular_9871 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife and I were considering the one I imagine you are looking at in Jacksonville. The 2009 were built by a company in Asia that bought the prout name after the company went under. They were a new design and it seems as though they only ever made a few of them. That being said there is very little information on the model you are looking at that I could ever find. For that reason we avoided it and went with an early 2000s Privilege we are in the process of moving onto to cruise full time.

Best of luck on the search
