High water pressure is a concern for every homeowner. Here is a picture of a pressure gauge, which like its name, measures the pressure of the water coming into your house. We once bought a house that the pressure from the utility company was 110 pounds per square inch (PSI) at the hose bib (another name for it is outside faucet).
Sailing Yacht. Roughly 5,000 sailors cross the Atlantic Ocean by yacht each year in the winter months, with the voyage taking around three weeks. However, the record from Ambrose Lighthouse, New York, to the Lizard, UK, stands at a staggering three days 15 hours. Even if sailors cross as part of a fleet, participating in events such as the World Cruising Club's Atlantic Rally for Cruisers, they must be experienced and knowledgeable.
How large a boat to cross an ocean? John Guzzwell sailed around the world in Trekka which was 20 feet 6 inches long. Robert Manery sailed across the Atlantic in Tinkerbell, a 13 foot sailboat. Nordhaven 46 foot motor trawlers cross the Atlantic, Bruce Kessler circumnavigated in a Delta 70 foot trawler. Yet it is routine for 150 foot motoryachts to be carried across the Atlantic on Dockexpress type ships. It all depends on how comfortable you want to be and how seaworthy the boat. Dave.
