I'm looking at adding refrigeration to my ice box. I'm down to 2
choices - An Isotherm with a Danfoss 50 compressor and a flat cold
plate or an Adler Barbour with the same compressor but with a plate
that forms a small freezer/icemaker section (15 x 12 x 6 inches). The
A/B is about $500 more. Do
Yes, we make ice. We also cram as much frozen stuff into our little freezer
compartment as we can, and we can keep stuff frozen by keeping it directly
under the freezer box. We can be independent of stores for up to two weeks
this way and still eat quality steaks. Most of the places we like to go a

spent the afternoon at the boat show. Just out of curiosity we went
on a Catalina 38, several Bennes, Jenneaus, a Tartan 41 and a Hylas 46

My business partner has a Bebe 39/3, so that was my point of
reference. I was shocked a
Joel,
Is current draw a big concern for you? If so, you might take a peek at the
Technautics Cool Blue. Supposedly claims to have the lowest current draw.
Unfortunately, they're a bit more pricey than either unit you're looking at.
You deal directly with the guy that builds them.

Joel,
Give Frigoboat a look while your at it. I've got their keel-cooler system. It's
only partially installed at the moment but a buddy of mine with Beneteau swears
by them. Very energy efficient and keeps the seawater out of the system. I'm
setting up a spillover freezer/refrigerator system w
Joel,
I have the Adler Barbour system with a Danfoss compressor. I think mine is
a 35 model, not sure. It works great. I have a fairly large freezer
section. It has room for three trays of ice cubes and about 5-10 lbs of
steaks/ribs. Current draw is supposedly around 5 amps. No issues, since
Dennis,
Power is always a concern but I rather spend the $1500 difference to
upgrade the electrical system. The Cool Blue is a Danfoss 35 and a cold
plate. I think you could do the same thing in Isotherm for the same or a
little less.

In my endless hunt for a new boat, I came across the 34+. Having owned and
liked a 34 I was curious to see that this boat has a kind of transom step
access that the admiral wants on our new boat. It is not a full walk out
transom, but might be adequate. My question is about the boat in gener
I have purchased a 1985 C&C 33. I have been asked it is a MKII. I have
been doing research on each of them, but i have found nothing consistent.
My survey indicates it has a draft of 6'4" like a MKII but also show the
weight at 9800 lbs and the MKII is at 9450 lbs. Don't really know what is
what
Same thing. Anything from 84 to 87 is a Mk II. There's no difference.
The Mk II isn't an official C&C designation, but it's the way we
differentiate between the 2 very different types of 33's.
Cheers

Thanks !
I'm going to put it on its own breaker. Most people seem to put it in the

I've got an ancient aldor-barbour unit in the lazarette, from there it
is a very short run of tubing to get into the cooler. I can't say much
about how well it works as we don't use it much, but I did (to my
dissatisfaction) freeze some beer one day...

Based on my own observations when replacing Calypso's 10 to 20 year old vinyl
coated SS lifelines, 36 year SS lifeline are likely to fail under stress owing
to hidden corrosion.
Take a knife to the vinyl near an end and check how far the corrosion travels
along the strands. Rust stains at the

It doesn't take much rust to make a stain on vinyl.
I have some minor rust staining where the swaged joints meet the vinyl. And
the vinyl has cracked in a few places along the lines and some staining
shows there as well.
The lifelines however still seem very strong and can take

I do not have detailed or scientific type data but more observed experience
coupled with reading the debate as ISAF was banning the vinyl coating and
considering the synthetics. Some of the details may have been presented at a

Thanks everyone for the insight. It looks like I'll be spending some time in
the Waikiki YC trying to make new friends. I'll keep a bag with my foulies
