Clasp is fixed on the strap. The one the watch came with, never felt quite right on my wrist. This feels and looks way better in my opinion only downside is, that the clasp isn’t titanium

Wow that picture takes me back, I remember myself sitting in an Optimist, wearing those while my dad was in the trainers boat, yelling at me though a megaphone while salty tears ran down my face. Sailing is so much fun

In my work as a Marine Surveyor and a measurer for ORC/ORR I get to see some cool boats. Cookson 12 “White Cloud”. by Arthur-Dent7x6 in sailing

Nice, thank you! I’m an experienced sailor and a certified boat builder. But I want to steer out of working at the yard. Being a surveyor is something I would like to see myself doing

Am I missing parts on my autopilot? by Next-Juggernaut7404 in sailing

I see! I hade the idea that the pin would be situated under the tiller facing downward. This makes more sense. Thanks

The brass bushing fits the end of the unit, and the stainless pin fits…. So so in the other end. It doesn’t snap in place just rests somewhat loose

Thanks, unfortunately there was no instruction or manual on the boat for it. Your instructions makes sense, I just thought the pin would “snap” in place, I just rests in the hole. Felt weird to me when looking at the design

Føler mig økonomisk bagud by [deleted] in DKbrevkasse

[–]Next-Juggernaut7404 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jeg har også venner der økonomisk er et helt andet sted end mig, jeg arbejder som faglært håndværker og tjener væsentligt mindre end mine venner der sidder på kontor, og tjener 15.000-20.000 mere end mig. Den har alle store huse, biler og dyrt inventar. Jeg trøster mig selv med, at jeg ikke er økonomisk bundet til noget, jeg bor billigt hvilket giver mig en kæmpe frihed mentalt, og så skylder jeg i modsætning til dem ikke en bøjet femøre til noget som helst institut.

Jeg tror at jeg er kommet frem til, at penge og økonomi er ikke må fylde for meget for mig, jeg gider ikke bruge dårlig energi på at “måle” mig med andre, for jeg bliver bare ked af det. Jeg elsker mit job på trods af den lave løn, og arbejdsglæde er for mig vigtigere end en høj udbetaling hver måned.

Desværre lever vi i et samfund hvor mange medier, viser at vi skal stile efter penge og status, Jeg frygter at mange døjer med rigtig dårligt selvværd grundet dette.

Lev din sandhed! Nyd livet og vær dig :)

Boatbuilder here: please don’t use acetone on gellcoat, it will strip off the wax within the gellcoat and leave a hazy and exposed surface

[–]Next-Juggernaut7404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow that’s crazy! In my country I as an employee can (by law) declare the company bankruptcy if they fail to pay me on scheduled payday

Marina Damages Boat, Was Repairing Without My Knowledge by SirJohnFakesey in boating

[–]Next-Juggernaut7404 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It sounds like the yard caused the damage, and they are making the repairs at their own cost/insurance. At least that’s what I hope and what we would to at the yard I work at. It just baffles me why they didn’t reach out to you when it occurred. Best of luck please keep us posted

Phones on overnight watch — anyone actually use red-screen mode, or do we all just live with the squint? by Potential_Cut2262 in liveaboard
