Indian Channels Frequency

PLUTO

now Christmas is coming and we're all (or almost ...) employed to decorate trees and nativity scenes, to wrap gifts and to organize a trip. So, in the middle atmosphere of gifts and surprises, I have one here ready for you here is the 15 th Dogs who joins our fleet!

His name is PLUTO , hull number 117, 1980, is moored in Marina di Ravenna and its owner is Gianluca Friends, Shipwrights!

Gianluca is an owner a little bit special because you know that with his father, a skilled carpenter, created the interiors of all the ... Hounds Classis included! Just imagine how many changes this to Gianni has made to his boat.

started visiting Pluto starting, as always, from the outside. The
Tredmaster, where is the original, it looks really in good condition.

A stern look at the presence of spoiler with bimini and beach wooden ladder and central bathroom.
Also see the benches at the stern and the "bottom" of cockpit teak .... with a difference: in the area between the engine and the axis of the rudder, which is normally empty, Gianluca has created a comfortable and original locker rack that can be taken off as a basket.

Gianluca Also the cockpit has created a beautiful table and brings an unusual bottles or glasses to be attached to the transom.



And speaking of made of wood, look at the beautiful and functional bow ladder that can overturn the stay while on the pulpit is a tablet that can serve as a comfortable seat or step .


Before going below deck to look around, take a look at Volvo Penta 24 hp (with the cooling system modified with the addition of a heat exchanger) and practical solution that Luke taken to place the anchor windlass.










finally go down below deck where the surprises are certainly not lacking.

We note immediately down the steps of teak, the new cabinet, and encased in wood fires under a convenient drawer for extra


course the plotting area could not remain free from change and in fact reduced the table catches your eye with a smooth curve to allow for easier access to the berth of the navigator.
A side we see the shelves Instruments holder (with VHF radio and CD) and a chamber door objects.
Above left we see a tool that could be covered with a combined GPS chart plotter / echo sounder.

So far the changes Lucas has made to Pluto and details are different but the most striking is undoubtedly the removal of the door separating the toilet from the cabin and the large relative change in the bulkhead with two sturdy handrails.

This is certainly a very radical choice and some may be questionable, but Luke apparently not very fond of the doors and in this so he wanted to realize his personal bathroom in the cabin.

And the toilet, as you can see from the picture, has not been exempt from changes. Unfortunately, Luke did not send photos of the basin area and this makes me assume that this has not changed ... but .... you think it possible?

conclude the visit of Pluto by the knowledge of other family members and friends: the kind lady peeping out from the hatch and the young sailor, in a moment of relaxation from the labors of the board, which sways quietly forward on ' hammock made us swear, by our Luke!

What to say? Pluto is indeed full of surprises and Hound the other boat owners and friends will certainly appreciate the many ideas that has given us.

My compliments, Gianluca well and landed in our virtual port! : O)

Undigested Food In Stool Rice

Amarcord ... TAF

Dear Friends, I wish to share with you this beautiful letter that I sent a few days ago my friend Tino di Ravenna.
Tino was the first developer and owner of TAF, which now belongs to the Hound Nicola Wallis.

It 's a letter full of nostalgia and amore per quella barchetta tanto desiderata che ha regalato momenti indimenticabili a lui e alla sua famiglia.

Naturalmente ho inoltrato la mail a Nicola che senza indugio ha chiamato Tino. Fra i due armatori della stessa barca c'è stato un lungo colloquio telefonico; Nicola conosce molto bene quel medico di Bari al quale Tino aveva venduto la barca, certamente potranno risentirsi presto...
In una mail successiva, Tino mi ha anche spiegato l'origine del nome del suo Segugio: " Il nome TAF deriva dai componenti della mia famiglia nel '79 , Tino , Angela e Francesco, Chiara non era ancora nata...".

confess that for me to receive this letter was a great joy. Knowing that this modest blog has allowed, on the one hand, Tino find, after so many years, his beloved boat and the other with Nicola can learn many interesting tidbits about the birth and early years of his life TAF is a great satisfaction to my humble work.
Tino At my request, kindly sent me some pictures of TAF as it was when it was launched in 1979 by Cantieri Classis, here they are:


In una delle foto vediamo anche Tino, orgoglioso giovane armatore, che oggi ha qualche anno di più e molti capelli in meno ma vi posso assicurare che lo spirito è ancora quello di un ragazzo:

"... even at my age, I like to joke, be cheerful, ironic and mocking. Many of my friends have become serious, are now old and do not realize , do not realize that life should be lived with joy and always with a smile on his lips ... "

A stration of this, here is a nice "little saint" that our friend has kindly dedicated ... : O)

Dear Tino, thank you very much for your contribution to our Blogs give you a warm welcome among us.

If, as you'd like, come back soon to rig a sail ... Good Wind!

Car Wax Chemical Formulation

Fiat 500 engine with revolutionary TwinAir

the TWIN
2 cylinders for the new 500

The 500 will be the first car at home fiat to equip the new engine Twin revolutionary benzina bicilindrico. Un motore turbo da 85 cavalli dalle emissione di CO2 ai consumi ridotti per delle performance brillanti.

500 TwinAir sarà disponibile nell'esclusivo Azzurro volare scelto per distinguerla dalle classiche 500.

Il bicilindrico TwinAir rispetto a un 4 cilindri di pari prestazioni e media cilindrata è decisamente più piccolo: le dimesioni longitudinali sono ridotte del 23% e il peso del quasi 20%

PERFOMANCE

Il motore della 500 TwinAir è un 900cc da 85 CV.
La coppia massima è di 145 Nm a 1900 giri/min, la velocità massima di 173 km/h e l'accelerazione da 0 a 100 km/h avviene in soli 11 secondi.
In pratica, le prestazioni aumentano del 25% compared to the 1.2 8v and are comparable to those of the 1.4 16v, according to statements by Fiat.

ECOLOGY

500 Twin is the car with the engine cylinder petrol greener world: it reduces emissions by up to 30%, with a value equal to 95g/km CO2.
You can also activate the ECO button, with this device you can cut the torque to 100 Nm at 1750 rpm to ensure even lower emissions and fuel consumption.


This revolutionary new motor home Fiat shows the direction that the manufacturers are taking, a direction in ecology. Although the goal is to travel in zero-emission, la strada è ancora lunga e le proposte ibride (benzina-elettrico) avanzano lentamente nel mercato; le soluzioni completamente elettriche esistono, guarda Tesla Roadster, auto supersportiva con prestazioni eccellenti. Tutti sappiamo come è difficile immettere tale tecnologia dedicato alle masse, ma un passo alla volta si arriva al traguardo.

We welcome great pleasure in our virtual port ... KUĆA (formerly the Napa Kuca), Classis Hound No. 118 of 1981, only two years is owned by Emilio Cucchiara (pictured) and his brothers Vincent and Leonardo.
Kuca is moored in the port of Sciacca in Sicily.


From the first picture we see that Kuca has a swim ladder on the transom and bimini. Tredmaster The original paint is replaced by a light gray slip.

Meetings of the cockpit and the engine compartment lid are covered with teak and even the hatch is made of wood.


On top of the transom, there is a stainless steel cap with the inscription water. Kuca probably has an extra tank space behind the berth. It would be interesting to have some details about it.

Always look in the cockpit compass navigation, and an antenna Log discoid.

In the picture we see the bow of the triangle meglio la vernice antiscivolo e il verricello elettrico posizionato sul coperchio della cala dell'ancora sul quale è anche visibile un tappo di ispezione.

Sotto coperta osserviamo il tavolo da carteggio con la strumentazione di bordo composta da VHF, doppio GPS (uno dei quali opportunamente protetto per l'uso in pozzetto), radio stereo CD e TV a colori !!

La cuscineria della dinette e le tendine sono in tessuto bianco che contrasta bene con i legni. Gli altoparlanti dello stereo sono alloggiati nei porta oggetti quadrati.

Nell'angolo cucina, dotata di forno, notiamo dei piccoli contenitori molto comodi per riporre detersivo e spugnette.
