Stingray Boats: “We tried to make it as simple as we could as well as practical,” Borghi said. “It was a lot of work.”
It took one year to build “The Mausoleum,” as it's nicknamed, and now it houses a 1914 Model T Ford, 1921 Model T Ford, 1935 Chevrolet coupe, 1940 Chevrolet coupe and a 1966 Corvette stingray boats.
Radar is an excellent means of marine navigation and is used on vessels of all sizes, down to boats of about twenty feet in length. Although not installed on all recreational boats, its capabilities and limitations should be known to all boaters for their own safety when cruising on waters navigated by radar-equipped vessels.See Also Boat Lift:boat lift-to-boat lift calls. When you hear your Boat lift called, put your transmitter on the air and say: "(Name of Boat lift that called), this is (name of your Boat lift), over." Switch to the agreed-upon inter-ship working channel. After the conversation is completed, say: "This is (name of your Boat lift), out."
Shore-to-ship calls. When you hear the name of your Boat lift called, put your transmitter on the air and say: "(Name of station that called), this is (name of your Boat lift and call sign), over." After the conversation is completed, say: "This is (name of your Boat lift), out."
7. Maneuver for the pick up. In some cases, you can approach from the windward of the victim, and let the Boat lift drift down toward him, providing a lee. In most cases, however, it is best to approach from leeward in order to avoid having your Boat lift blow right over the victim. Just slight amounts of power will be needed to keep your Boat lift under control. A sailboat lift should approach nearly on the wind so that it can luff up to stop the headway when the victim is reached. In any case, stop the Boat lift a short distance from the victim, and throw him a line, such as a ski tow rope, that floats. It is less hazardous than trying to maneuver your Boat lift right up to him.
On The Other Hand See Skeeter Boats:The prudent skipper will have a thorough knowledge of the Rules that apply to all types of skeeter boats and ships that operate on waters that he or she uses. The official text of the Rules are in the Coast Guard publication Navigation Rules, International-Inland, which is available at most chart outlets. The major requirements that apply to recreational skeeter boats are listed briefly here.
There are two electronic navigation systems available to skippers of skeeter boats as well as to navigators of large ships. The cost, size, and power requirements of these systems have now been reduced to the point that they are feasible options for skeeter boats of almost any size. The newer, and now the more widely used, system is the Global Positioning System (GPS). Also used by many boaters is Loran, an older system still in operation. Almost all new installations, however, are GPS.
