Wooden boats aren't tuned like glass boats. If you
tighten all those puppies up they will push the mast

into

the keel and start some impressive leaking. Been there
done that...


Shrouds? Shrouds?? What are they???



Strings that go up along the sides of a boat. They can

be

very handy for hanging doodads and other thingamabobs

on,

such as belaying pins and ratlines. Can be made more
interesting with the application of baggywinkle

His boat hasn't any...the sticks just sit there all on

their lonesome.....

at least he has sticks...


....that's ok...she attached the baggywinkle to her hat until they step
their sticks...makes for interesting conversation when you go anywhere
with her...
