Thanks Willem, due to a lot of small canals this is a good way to launch
them.
Most of the time its a pleasure to see how people get very wet not knowing
the wave went so far;-)
Maybe in Rotterdam they are lauched frontal and not sideways.
Thanks for the nice movie.

I remember the launches at Newport News VA. of such as the USS United
States and Forestall, and Enterprise etc . They were all launched
endwise. Seems to work well both ways. I guess, in a canal sideways
is the only way to go I guess unless there was a curve and it had room
to go the other way that is it.


Yep;-)
