See how much you know!


Actually I knew before I visited the site that tiny yellow boats
couldn't qualify for the America's Cup. :-)


And the question about how to keep 5200 after opening didn't mention
Little Red Caps (http://www.littleredcap.com/faq%20page.htm) which
really do work better then the alternatives.

Bruce, *Actually I am a boater. Seehttp://www.cat-ketch.com. I liked
the simplicity of Questions2Answers, an open source program and
decided to try it out. I am reposting your answer to the 5200
question. Thanks for it. Roger


You should monitor the answers a little. The fact that a 28 ft. boat
isn't really the type one wants to enter in the America's Cup should
be apparent to most, in or out of boats. *Others can be easily
answered by using google - how to clean ropes? Unanswered to date but
Google "cleaning boat ropes" gets 1,140,000 hits - the consensus is
"use your washing machine".

Bruce, thanks for the advice. Some questions are intentionally dumb at
this stage in order to start to build a ranking in Google. Pretty
cynical, but that is how these things work. I am trying to focus in on
some categories, like power, sail, row or whatever. Maybe you have
some ideas.

Thanks again, Roger


It is a very diversified subject you are embarking on. I can see
questions ranging from "what is the best material to caulk my plank on
frame wooden boat" to "how do I kill all the ants". Both boat problems
I've seen debated hotly at one time or another :-)

Good luck.
