Can you recommend any books, video series that supports maintenance on general boat systems ?

A really good foundation builder:

I keep a small library on board, at the helm, and when I make good relations with hired hands, be it for crew and mechanics, I often give them one of these books and quickly go to replace it. Great for reference as well as education.
 
Thank you so much


My last question and to the board

There is a Hatteras 48 IRC on yachtworld.com Both generators need to be replaced, asking $125,000

Is there technology out there where you could replace one or both generators using solar
power?
 
I'll give you a partial answer. It depends on how you use the boat and how much power you need in a given period of time. If you don't have a generator you won't be running the air conditioning or an electric stove away from shore power. Some sailboaters do it. So the answer is, it depends.

I build inverter systems to do just that but they need to be charged with wind and solar to make it 100% renewable energy.

LiFePo batteries will charge much more efficiently than lead acid. My customer with the 45 leopard had no need to run the generator for months without air conditioning but had it if he needed it.

I'd look at a new generator and a smart integrated inverter as an option. I set up all kinds of systems. Having a smaller generator with additional power from an inverter could be a great solution.

PM me if you want to get into details.
 
Interesting concept from Marex Norway) that could be useful for those contemplating gennie/battery/inverter upgrades. Their boats offer a separate electrical system for the fridge/freezers on their cruisers comprised of solar panels and dedicated batteries. It is certainly something I would consider on a big boat along with a large LiFePO4 batteries and inverter(s) as an alternative to a new/upgraded generator. Many new boats (Dashew et al) have the capability to run all or most of their power needs - even aircon - using this setup often with the option of solar pv. Obviously easier to do and more efficient with newer boats but not too difficult even on something the size of the65lrc. Lifepo4 prices are coming down and capacities and sizes reducing so the cost and weight of battery vs genies is now making this alternative acceptable.
 
Did this boat sell?

The listing was gone when I did my daily drool.
 
The YOUTUBE video is still available .
 
Carry On sold, owner kept the name. Headed up the ICW recently i heard towards New England. Great boat.
 
Well, they made a few of them; not many, but they are out there. Hope you find the one you want. Or should I say another one you want.
 
I think they made 9. Rare as hens teeth but sought after by many.

I think one was torn up by cleandini years ago. I dont know its fate. I think a bank owned it.
 
I remember that thread. He didn't finish the boat, or it might be more accurate to say he didn't finish it off. I think it DID go to the bank holding a lien. Wonder what became of it.
 
I looked at the clean dini boat when it was for sale by the repo company. It was solid, but pretty much gutted. For the money they cost, I think there are much better options out there than the hatt LRC, but they do have a good following.
 
I like the 63 better myself if I was buying a Hatteras. They are different types of boats for different purposes but I'd much rather have a 63 over a LRC. I love the galley up layout on those.
 
Hatteras made 13 65 LRCs. One was lost off California in the 90s RIP. One was lost in Katrina. CleaniDini boat was hull number1 sold. Very cheaply and ended up in South America as a dive charter. I think there are three 65s in the hatterasLRC.com club including Carry On.

Only 13 boats out of the molds. What a share they're not available to build more.

Sadly the LRC was not a big success for hatteras. Maybe they were ahead of their time, maybe too expensive or maybe it was just poor marketing. Either way I have considered them a far better boat than the 15-10s just not the commercial success they needed to continue making them.

I worked on a 2003 46 Viking yesterday. Nice layout and certainly more modern design. The bridge console has a door I can fit through to work under. The ER access from the cockpit is tight but it's a 46. The newer designs of all boat builders should show us whats really missing in our old girls.
 
Sometimes the updates people have done on the older boats are good constructive criticisms of the original older designs.

I'm pretty familiar with the Cleanidini saga. I first was on board in Mystic, CT 12 years ago when Cleani was going at the refit big time. Bank owned and some executive thought the boat could be cleaned up and flipped. That did not work out and the boat sat all torn up for years.

Fast forward to 2016, I owned an environmental remediation company. Got a call to evaluate a boat with mold in Essex CT. It was the Cleanidini project. Interior was still pretty much gutted, another company was hired to just get it seaworthy. Apparently, the boat was now owned by a boatyard in Sag Harbor, NY with visions of putting into charter service.

Now, 4 years later, I would not be surprised if it's somewhere in South America.
