Are there any mini yacht models which will help me to understand how real yachts are put together and work?

James J asked:


Maybe this seems like an obvious question, because of course i will have an understanding of how the frame pieces together. I guess i am asking whether anyone knows of any high detail yacht model kits that include the pipes and interior gizmoids? I am going to take an engineering course for power yachts in the summer. Making a model seems like a cool thing to do before i get into really knowing how to fix everything on a yacht.

How do you get a job sailing yachts from one destination to another for the owner?

Ryan B asked:


I’m interested in sailing yachts part time, a trip here and a trip there. I know people pay to have their yachts sailed from up north to Florida or from Florida to the Caribbean, how do I get a job doing that and how much does a captain typically make per trip?

The Reaganite asked:


Particularly yachts like Pelorus, Octopus, and Dubi. I’ve found many outside pictures, but I haven’t been able to find interior shots of any of them!
