Default You Like Boats?
Yeah, I know, nothing to do with Corvettes (which is about 90% of this site, non-Corvettes )

Love to sail the seas with this, an ocean going tug (built 1961) converted into a yacht.

I wonder if it burns about 13gph?

Nice boat, BTW. Exactly how much bigger does it have to be to be known as a ship?

Usually the 100' rule, under boats, over, ships, yachts. Traditionally, tugs were always called boats, subs are called boats no matter what length, I guess it just depends on who wants to call what. I'm sure there are technical guidelines and nomenclature covering the lengths of all styles of vessels.

I work for an adhesive manufacturer and we are the exclusive importer for Saba which is the OE spec'ed product on boats such as Feadship - Feadship Royal Dutch Shipyards . I work with several distributors/yards in FL and am down there regularly. I'll actually be in Tampa tomorrow for the IBEX show. IBEX Show Tampa 2014

Really? Didn't come across that way, more like a trolling remark. If you really wanted to ask me a question, you would have asked one, instead of instruction on grammar.

Looking back at it, i can see how you would imply that. I could have asked my question differently. My bad.

Enjoy your thread.

That's a whole lot of boat..

I love it, but would be happy with something half its size.

Make sure you stop by here, I live right by a pier that could handle that... if we park it at high tide.

I was told by a cruise ship captain once that the difference between a ship and a boat was that you could pick up a boat and put it on a ship.

Been to PI back in the 90's, was on a TDY, stayed a month, loved it there.

I'd park that bugger right up side your pier, and bring you plenty of.....rum.

That's true, and there are ships that carry ships.

That's cool. But I bet it wasn't lifted there. I'm betting the large ship has the ability to submerge the surface the smaller ship is sitting on, then raise itself.

Of course, I'm no maritime expert, so I could be wrong.

You're right, that's the way it's done, like floating drydocks. They can carry massive structures, amazing.
