It would be nice Bruce but if someone actually posted an authoritative
solution here that from their experience worked there would be at least 3 or
4 people who would accuse him of being full of crap or being to complex or
worse.

I was an active participant here for over 7 years and the old AOL OLYC
before that. I learned a lot and occasionally contributed a bit but with
the influx of people more interested in shooting their mouths off about
subjects they know little about and flaming anyone who challenged them we
lost several very helpful vendors, at least 3 well known naval architects
and engineers and two popular yachting authors. I don't know how a gracious
lady like Peggy who, with a wealth of knowledge and no longer any financial
interest puts up with the rancor and personal insults.

I stopped participating over a year ago because it became a waste of my time
and only checked in recently to see how a few of my friends like Wayne,
Skip, Lew and even Larry were getting along. It has not taken long to see
that the situation has gotten far worse.

With that I will bid you gentlemen adieu. I will send invitations to the
launching party privately.
