This isn't just a vessel; she’s a floating testament to wartime engineering! Step aboard the Gyrfalcon, commissioned in 1941 to survey the brutal Aleutian Islands. Prepare to be amazed by the construction—we're talking about a hall framed with one foot of solid, old-growth fir designed specifically for ice navigation. For the serious engineers out there, you’ll want to see the twin cats and the massive fuel range built to conquer the harshest oceans on Earth. This classic boat reveals new secrets around every corner. Make sure to stay until the very end for the incredible, untold story involving General Patton, shared directly by her devoted stewards, Nancy Evers and Peter Mann! #YachtLens #WoodenBoat #ClassicYacht #BoatRestoration #Liveaboard #ChrisCraft #YachtTour #TrawlerLife #GardnerDiesel #ClassicBoat #WWIIHistory #ShipTour #NavalHistory #EngineeringMarvel #IceBreaker #Gyrfalcon #VintageVessel #Maritime

We love blue tape. It is helpful for labeling and reminding you of important items to track and monitor. In this Offshore Cruising tip called “Analog Gauges”, Jeff recommends using blue tape to help you mark your gauges for quick verification that all is well. Analog gauges have needle indicators that move to and remain in a safe operating “normal” position once they are warmed up and running. By marking the “normal” needle location with blue tape, you can quickly check that your gauges are where they should be. If you start running hot, losing voltage or oil pressure you have a simple pre-alarm warning. This same tip can be used for main engine analog gauges. Simply cut blue tape into small triangles and mark the normal needle locations for voltage, oil pressure, and coolant. This practice can be used for all of your analog gauges including proper pressure points for steering, fresh water, etc. A swift glance lets you verify your status. To learn more about safe travel at sea, please consider signing up for “Offshore Cruising – Preparing Craft and Crew” and you will learn why it has become one of the most popular classes Boaters University has ever offered.
