You can order a poster-size (23" x 27") map on our website www.greatloop.org/product/great-loop-route-map-poster-size.html. If you're looking for something bigger than that, we can sometimes take special orders.

Regarding the waste, isn’t it illegal to be dumping waste overboard in 2024?
@GreatLoopАй бұрын
It is illegal to dump untreated waste in U.S. waters. Treated waste can dumped any place outside of a no discharge zone (NDZ). I believe composted waste is classified as treated.
@Steve-qn8gnАй бұрын
This is why hybrids make sense. Cruising at 3kts and having to wait to wait 2 days to charge on solar is a deal breaker. Greenline has it right imo.

I have a friend that is sailing from Connecticut to Florida and was going to help him out. Was hoping to fly into Virginia. Do you know if Norfolk would be a good place to be picked up with a sail boat that has s 5 foot keel. TIA for any help or advice
@GreatLoopАй бұрын
Yes, Norfolk should work. Waterside Marina on the Norfolk side or Tidewater on the Portsmouth side should both be able to accommodate boats with that draft.

So when he's four emotions, that sale drive is putting forty eight volts into his battery. I love your channel keep up the good work😊.

What a joke and waste of money, no wonder he had a change of marital status. Lets assume you have enough roof space for 10,000 watts of solar, maybe you add another 10,000 watts of wind. WOW 20k watts of power, that equals a whopping 26 horsepower with the sun shinning and the wind blowing, that wont get you very far very fast now will it? Want 100 hp? that will require 74,600 watts. Wake up folks, electric drive is a pipe dream.

I have been a boatie for years and currently motorhoming in Europe, but considering the great loop. As an overseas person, what would I need maritime wise to enable me to run a boat on the great loop?
@GreatLoop2 ай бұрын
There is no licensing requirement in the U.S., but a few states you will transit require you to have a NASBLA approved course (NASBLA.org) or higher credential, so if you have an advanced mariner credential from your home country, that is likely sufficient.

Great interview We are 2 days away from completing our loop in Mobile, Alabama Our boat is similar to the ranger tug 27 (Proline 251wa) with Yamaha 250 SHO (think all mechanical 300hp) You touch on a number of issues we also experienced. Boat speed: The proline is designed as a bluewater fishing boat with a deep vee hull design. Our normal fuel efficient cruseing speed was 25-30 mph (1.5mpg). We had a few people comment that that we are going to fast to properly "experience the loop" Hogwash. We spend 1/3 of the time at the helm and more time exploring onshore. Forgetting to eat breakfast was a big learning curve for us. My girlfriend suggested I was getting grouchy!!! Seriously, making sure we ate a little something by midday made for a better day. We used onshore lodging with adjacent dock about 30% of the time. We only anchored out 3 nights total. All the balance were full service marinas. A advantage of a smaller boat is the marina usually have you closer to the marina facilities Final note: We spent 4 days at Myrtle Beach Yacht Club and considered it one of our best stops.

Six hundred thousand dollars for a boat with OUTBOARD MOTORS? A YAMAHA 200 AND 150. Sorry, I am an aerospace engineer in Portland Oregon and this boat is way above my pay grade. This is definitely a niche vessel for really wealthy folks who want something nobody else has. I'm A 59 year old millionaire and am more frugal with my money. I'm thinking a used 42 foot Grand Banks Europa with stabilizers and water making plant. Then I will have $350,000 left over for Diesel. Cheers. Very interesting vessel.
