Re: who would like to live in a houseboat? The LUXEMOTOR is looking very good, i can never get a shine like that on my worktops and cabinets, i do have 2 questions though, from someone with no nautical knowledge at all, are the ballast tanks large enough to compensate for low levels in the fresh water tanks? and i see no handrail for the steps, ok on rivers and such but anything tidal could be an issue. Great work, keep it up. Mike The ballast tanks are only for adjusting the draft and the air draft. For freshwater there are 2 large slow sand filter systems which can satisfy my thirst easily. Of corse, the slow sand filters do not work with salt water and therefore I have a big freshwater tank of about 2000l which I would have to refill at marinas if longer salt water trips are planned. The handrail IS a problem which I have not solved yet: - For channels with locks and narrow marinas an external handrail is unusable because the handling would be too cumbersome. Here you need an internal handrail which is usually mounted directly on the superstructure. - For lakes and coastal waters or large rivers with larger waves, however, the outer handrail would be extremely much safer. For the sake of better space utilization I have left the gangboard almost on the whole ship and therefore I have almost no superstructures where I could mount an internal handrail. The LUXEMOTOR was clearly designed primarily for inland waterways, so an external handrail would be counterproductive. Do you recognize my dilemma? ---------------------------------------- Pascal SH3D 6.6 / Ubuntu 22.04 (Mainline-Kernel) / Radeon RX580 / Ryzen 7 5800x |
